Hi All,
I've seen several threads and even a couple of petitions asking for a software unlock to move the AWD acceleration closer the the performance. I am of the belief that Tesla can and should offer a paid acceleration boost for not just AWD, but any version of any Tesla vehicle that has room to accelerate faster than the current software allows. I would think that this would be all versions of the model 3, as the price structure seems to suggest that they're all somewhat nerfed (save for maybe the performance version).
I know it's a polarizing topic to discuss how much one buyer paid vs another. But I think we can all agree that Tesla and its buyers would both only benefit from a transparent way to boost performance for buyers who want to do so post delivery. If there is extra power in the vehicle that can be unleashed at no cost to Tesla, and buyers who are happy to put pure profit into the company's pockets, I just don't see the downside. I'd be willing to pay $2-4K assuming I could get my LR RWD to do 0-60 in roughly 4.0, and I'd pay more for even more speed. If there less power available, ok, but let us have what's there if we're willing to pay, even if it's a little less than the next tier up has. The fact they they haven't told us if something like this can be done only adds to the speculation that it's possible. So if it's not, let us know that too and we can all stop wishing for something that's never going to happen.
