I'm starting a poll to see who might be willing to send a letter to Tesla demanding they release Track Mode for P3D Stealth owners.

Do you want Track Mode for P3D Stealth?

I doubt you'd get any P3D- owner to say no. But I'm not about to write a letter. It's not that huge.
But sure I'd sign a petition asking for it politely and asking he back his prior commitment. I'd never demand it. There might be technical reasons it's just to messy to implement and more important stuff to be working on.

This for me as well.
I don’t see myself ever using it, but I’d rather have it for my car than not. Just in case I ever wanted to use it or for resale later for someone who wants it. So I voted Yes.
The exact language can be worked out later. The question is whether you'd support any such letter.
Agree. They screwed up. Should have been advertised:
- RWD
- AWD
- AWD Performance
- AWD Performance with Track Upgrades
When Track Mode software hit, no one would have batted an eye that it only came for cars with the "Track Upgrades" package.
That's not happening. I tried to work with Tesla on a retrofit option for 3 months. Their official stance is they will not provide any path to PUP now or in the future.

Model 3 has Arrived.
As someone who almost purchased a P3D-, I think it deserves to have a track mode.
I believe every Model 3 should have some sort of Sport or Track driving mode. Look where the Model 3 competes; against the BMW 3 series and MB C Class. You don't have to buy an BMW M or MB AMG version to get a decent track capable car, a 330i or CLA will do just fine. Tesla is missing an opportunity in the high-performance enthusiast community by restricting Track Mode to only the highest end variant.
I want track mode for my non-performance dual motor... mostly for playing in the snow. 
You WISHED you got the P3D- as well as I.
They were clearly the best treated with 5K knocked off the car price.
I would have been a salty AWD owner if I couldn’t pull a 10K-11K trigger for one second faster but would have done it for 5K-6K.
Ends up being even more in savings for those who want a snow set and those who want the increased range and lower replacement costs.
Actually if there was a frictionless way to exchange my 3P+ to a 3P- I would make that trade.
Save so much money.

For a while some of us stealth performance owners felt clever cause we got a faster car then AWD w/o the rims we may not want etc, then we felt maybe like unloved unicorns cause we didn't seem to be on the refund-radar and now we're the object of envy
Tesla could offer the $5-6k AWD upgrade and make a bunch of folks happy *I think* though I wish I could have gotten the 19" rims on my car w/o having to play swaps-y tricks.
If anything ever happens to mine requiring replacement I'll be bumming that I can't replace it same for same..

Oh absolutely. It was a clever choice, until it wasn't. Now it's the best choice by far. Thank Elon's lack of adult supervision and ability to get easily baited on Twitter for the fortuitous windfall.
$5-6K AWD upgrade might possibly happen if Tesla absolutely has to squeeze out a profitable Q1
The final knife in the 3P+ buyers is going to happen when Tesla makes the Chinese 19 inch performance Aeros standard for the US. Though V3 supercharging and Ludicrious options for 2019 Model 3 Ps would be painful as well.
If you wanted the 155 top speed and track mode, the price of admission is $5K..and ugly rims and brake pads AND the cost of your "better options" replacements.
Sit down.
P3d- owners easily got the best deal price/performance wise.
I couldn't care less about track mode. I would love a snow mode that reduced the rear wheel drive bias if possible, though.
