Given the P3 and RWD 3 have the same rear output I have been wondering if the standard dual motor cars are getting rejects that didn't make the cut for RWD or P series 3. What do you think?

no
What they are doing is the reverse of that.
The motor design and manufacturing has the ability to produce motors that perform better, so they're selecting those for P cars.
If you want to label that as "everything else is a reject", that's your prerogative.
Personally I don't have that negative slant.
I think that is untrue, and frankly ridiculous. If you think that is the case you need to provide evidence to back up such an assertion. WIthout evidence, your post is nonsense.Given the P3 and RWD 3 have the same rear output I have been wondering if the standard dual motor cars are getting rejects that didn't make the cut for RWD or P series 3.

Elon tweeted that they're putting the best motors in the Performance version. Logically that means they're putting the worst motors in the LR and AWD.I think that is untrue, and frankly ridiculous.

Give me 3 months.Someone needs to get an AWD car and wreck it so that @Ingineer can get it at auction cheap and pull it apart for us.
I think that's what I mentioned like a week ago...It is possible Tesla is triple binning the motors:
1) Highest performing to the Model 3 P
2) OK performing to the Model 3 RWD
3) Lowest performing to the Model 3 AWD
The dollar cheeseburgers at McDonalds are rejected quarterpounders.
Now you know.
Probably overthinking this a little. You buy a car to a spec, that’s what you get.
It would be great if someone could also answer the VIN question. If the motors are different doesn't the VIN have to reflect that? Because as it stands right now there is no differentiation for the Model 3 where there is one for the S and X.Fair, so far all of Tesla's stated 0-60 to times have been proven to be pretty accurate, how Tesla accomplishes it those times is probably irrelevant.
I think the endless speculation about the motors is due to:
1) most of us don't have our cars yet and so have nothing to do late at night but speculate about things we have almost no info.
2) people that ordered a PAWD want to feel that there are some hardware differences that make their car intrinsically better than the others rather than having the same car with some different feature flags/bits set.
3) people that ordered an AWD like the idea that the AWD and PAWD are physically the same and there might some day be a paid performance option for them.
I'm personally in camps 1&3, can't wait for ingineer to tear appart a AWD and PAWD to finally put this to bed. Though even if they are identical, there are plenty of reasons why tesla would never offer a AWD upgrade anyway, they'd probably rather you trade it in and buy a new PAWD.
