Would like to get the 1/4 in the high 10s. Is there anything to do it besides weight reduction? I wish they offered a 2k accel boost for the m3p to get it's 0-60 somewhere between the M3p and S Plaid.

Any mods to make the M3P faster?

If you haven't already, ditch the heavy Uberturbine wheels for something light weight.

Except acceleration boost isn't as good as the Performance profile in software. Plus acceleration boost is limited now by hardware. Most likely, the Performance model is pretty near maxed out.
Not to "go faster" no. The only current "tunes" are boxes which trick lower trim teslas into thinking they are a different trim, like a SR+ being tricked to thinking its a LR RWD, or a LR AWD being tricked to think its a P.
There is also a box that can turn off some of the traction control stuff, but "go faster" for a P? No.
A better way to increase profit would be to release a Model 3 Plaid so all of the Performance guys can trade up. The existing Performance hardware is already pretty close to the limit.

Oh they definitely will release a "Plaid" type of Model 3. The technology is already there and it will be even cheaper to manufacture than the existing 3P.
4680 batteries will effectively eliminate the discharge current limitations and the carbon wrapped Model S rotor greatly reduces the loss of power at high-speeds. Today's Model S Plaid is limited by 1990's battery technology so it may not be able to make full use of the motor's potential, but with 4680's and some careful thermal modeling/monitoring it's conceivable that the next gen Model 3P may be limited only by traction at any double-digit speed since they could easily allow for ~5 second bursts of extreme overcurrent.
That fiddly carbon rotor will add hundreds of dollars to the production cost of course, but the 4680's (and gigacastings) will reduce the cost by thousands. Not that we'll see those savings ourselves, just that it's a compelling product for Tesla to produce, especially now that even a clunky EV-converted BMW can easily beat a half-charged 3P.

Have you tried putting stripes or and R on your car? Heard that is good for about 20hp

lol it's funny you buy a "performance" model of a car and you get trolled asking if there are mods to make them faster. Guess I am dealing with much different crowd than my 20+ years of having fast cars....
I tweeted that to him at some point but figured there was next to 0 chance he'd read it.
