My guess is they got caught with their pants down on the P90DL the same way they did on the OTA upgrade. Remember, the P90DL announce and ship dates were likely set long before they realized they could not do the whole upgrade without new hardware.
IF I am correct, the options were to re-spec. the car at which point customers would want something or ship something better than the P85D and buy some time to finish the task. Torque Sleep and AutoPilot are but two examples of how Tesla chooses to handle these things. What did Musk say? Something like I may not meet my dates but I always deliver.
Well, timing is everything, and as you've probably guessed, I'm looking at this from every angle that I can think of.
Bear with me.
IFF there is to be an upgrade to P90D Ludicrous, well then it needs to happen as soon after that MT article as possible.
There are 5 more months left to opt for the P85D ludicrous upgrade.
If if an update is to come for current P90D owners, well then it almost has to come within that 5 month window.
And if if it does, well then we will know if said upgrade covers upgraded P85Ds too.
So when I look at sorka's scenario, I don't see Tesla waiting until all of the P85Ds are upgraded, a time frame if at least 5 months from now, before Ludicrous in the P90D ludicrous cars get their needed bump, because this article is now going to have people looking for and expecting 10.9 at 122.xx.
What at this means is, anyone wanting to know if P85D ludicrous is going to get a bump over what's already being promised, i.e. 2 tenths, they should know long before the remaining 5 months of the 6 month window closes.
They can't have P90D Ludicrous owners waiting around for the next 5 months to do what the car in the magazine did.
So so thismight be good news for anyone contemplating the upgrade.
Youll probably know before you pull the trigger, if more than the two tenths improvement thus far promised will be available.
