For AWD owners wanting a P3D-

[boriszima]

I'm curious, if you are passing on this, then what is your solution? Drive a slower car because you don't feel this is close to performance? What is your upgrade path to getting performance speed? Honest questions, I'm not trying to be snarky.

Yes, drive a slower AWD still roughly 4th fastest model 3 after P3D, P3D-, AWD+ (or whatever we need to call AWD with uncork/update) still not bad right? Considering 0-60 is like what? Top 5% of all currently manufactured mass producing cars? Ain’t bad.

if when Tesla add more, then I decide. As some others here, made enough with current TSLA stock surge if I were to sell now but not ready yet.

This makes logical sense. It's the P3D- vs AWD crowd I don't understand.

Same here. Pity, a few tenths of a second more and they would've had my money.

Invest this $2K for TSLA and use it to help buying a tri-motor Cybertruck! You'll get 2.9 seconds instead of 3.5, along with many other features

Just make this $2000 upgrade a monthly upgrade subscription. Heck, you could save money during the winter months too when you can’t use it.

There it is, the new acronym for boosted AWD...AWD+

Curious, since I may have missed it in all the posts today. Those with FSD didn’t get the boost option? Does that mean they’re getting it for free or not eligible? Or did I miss the fact that they got it too?

they have the option as well (all non-p awd cars do)

I need this! Unfortunately I am in Vancouver until Friday and won’t be able to get back to my car until the 21st.

Anyone know if those with FSD (which I have) are eligible? I am a 12/18 build and I believe that means I have the coveted 980’s. Was waiting for this forever after I decided not to be put the P in any form.

Checking account again now

edit: Just bought as I am also a recipient of serious TSLA gains today.

I have a 3 week old AWD with FSD -- the upgrade showed up for me on my tesla page.

if this had track mode it would be a slam dunk for me -- as it is .. i'll take a few days to think about it.

i plan to track this car and sink about 10k in mods over time (suspension / brakes / wheels / tires) .. so 2k for more acceleration makes sense .. but wish it had come with track mode too

I'm in a similar boat. $2000 for .5 sec faster 0-60 is objectively a great deal. I was hoping for the full P speed upgrade or at least include track mode, as-is it's less of an instant buy. I'm interested to see more real world tests over the next couple of days.

I wonder if this will be an option available online when ordering a new Model 3 AWD?

Pardon the ignorance but what is this 980 vs 990 debate for the rear unit?

 

[Watts_Up]

There’s a Tesla phone app update, not sure if that means anything, but something is happening.

Is it for Android or iPhone?

The current Andoid version is 3.102-3888 and is dated Nov 22, 2019.

There are two different revisions of the rear motor. It's said that 990 is slightly weaker compared to 980. Is there a rough rule to guess the revision based on the manufacturing date? Can't check the sticker right now from my M3.

 

[M3PLRD]

You will almost certainly have a 990 if you drive a LR-AWD. The Europeans got these right from the beginning. There are further variants of the 990, I have a B version which is one of the very early models (received it start March 2019). Not sure what the latest variant is but I doubt there is much difference between those.

Pretty sure almost all LR-AWD models had 980 prior to April 2019

 

[M3PLRD]

That's in the US, Europe got them when shipping started in February 2019.

Lightly disappointing, but need to assume that then. I have LR-AWD. Bought the upgrade anyway Still few hours before I can test.

Late night 1/4 mile shenanigans. I do it for y'all. 11.86 @ 116.17 mph.

Cheers!

I managed a 0-60 run in the 3.6x as well.
