Could Tesla be power limiting P3D?

You are not the first to suggest this
Well, there's three pages of back and forth, so I thought it might be worth reiterating.
you mention the fan does not come on any more when this occurs, but it does come on at the supercharger - it is possible that different temp sensors can trigger the fan to turn on or speed up. And one triggers it during supercharging and a different one (that may be broken) used to trigger it during hard driving

Have you tried not accelerating to over 100 MPH on public roads to see if this problem is less apparent?

Avg 679? ...you are the man! BTW I treat cervical neck pain and may start offering a Tesla owner discount

don't feel bad. I have a p3d+ with every available option except highway patrol magnet/midlife crises red and have not received track mode.

On the other hand..I am not amazed that Tesla does not include a cannabis reader/performance restrictor in their cars. This would hinder Elon's testing of new programming updates.

I suppose it does facilitate his testing of biodefense (hotboxing clearance) mode in other models
My wife just told me that I am "done" and to "move away from the computer" before I am justifiably banned from future posting
One of the techs called me and said he did diagnostics on the car remotely and found no faults. He really didn't take anything I said very seriously believing his logs and equipment more than my eye witness. He pulled the logs at the exact time of that video documenting the problem and was not convinced that anything was wrong. He said that there are a multitude of factors the computer takes into account when restricting acceleration and that the conditions must have been different than before. I did not buy that but its hard to argue the point without further evidence.
Obviously if you don't push you don't get the problem. That was just the fastest way to surface the problem since people on here stated that it can't occur if not driving for 40+ min. of hard driving. I dispelled that in two minutes.

Since you say it's easily reproducible with one full acceleration, I would ask one of the techs to take a ride with you to see it. Then ask to do the same in one of their Performance 3.

I can try reproducing it next time I'm out, but I have a P3D+ with different software rev. What firmware are you on?
Makes me wonder if your cooling system is working properly. You must have a crazy lead foot BTW with those numbers. How does your AC work?
It shouldn't happen. I don't get that until 3 laps in at an actual track.

They won't do it. They even canceled my SC appointment stating there is nothing they can do since their computer diagnostic states that there is no fault. They are being jerks about it and treating me like I don't know what I'm talking about.
I don't think it is working properly because I don't hear the fan at all like I use to when I didn't have this problem. Before when the dots came the fan would be blaring.
Works fine.
Its more than how quickly you get them but how fast do they go away when you let up. For me the dots use to go away in seconds while driving when I let up with the fan blaring. Now the don't go away until I stop for about 2 minutes and no fan.

Yeah as far as I know I've never seen that in my car, but I haven't looked closely when accelerating that fast.
