TEG,

Are you sure that VP13 has 1.5? I know that Darryl said (in the recent UK interview) that all the prototypes now have 1.5, but I drove VP17 (in LA) last week and it still had the original.

Curious...

There's a note about the arrival of VP13 on the "Tesla owner's" home page. It is dedicated to fine tuning of drivetrain 1.5...

I guess I'm sort of contradicting myself, but I test drove VP13 about a month ago and it did not have the 1.5 drivetrain in it. I'd forgotten about that caption and did not ask about it at the time...

Sorry to burst your bubble, but VP13 definitely did not have a 1.5 drive train at the time of this meeting, being the 13th of July.
