How did it end up naming P3D in this forum?

You go 10mph faster from 145-155 makes that stretch from 241 to 91 a breeze

Did you average in the extra time to retrieve your car from the impound yard?

On reflection, Tesla should have called it the Track Upgrade package instead of the Performance Upgrade package.

Performance implies faster acceleration. For most people it really ends up being the "Mary Kay Upgrade package".

Should tweet that to Tesla and Elon...

Yes, Track Upgrade would have been more accurate name. Lower uptake I would think, tho... so I'm guessing that's why they stuck with 'Performance'.

The August dragy leaderboard has most P3+ above PD- cars 0-60 times, for whatever that's worth... Two tops are 3.47 and 3.48 for P3+, and two top P3- are 3.57 and 3.59 sec....

Absolutely agreed. Tesla could have thrown in .1 or .2 seconds off the 0-60 for the '+' package and then I wouldn't whine that I got the Mary Kay "upgrade" package.

That'd fix the naming issue because right now it is the Performance with Performance Upgrade

There are 9.5 major hardware configs (1 is added by request but isn't a permutation of PUP, AWD, or Pack size)

1. $69,000 Performance with Performance Upgrade (Yo dawg, we heard you like performance with your performance so we added more performance)
2. $64,000 Performance
3. $54,000 AWD "all in" AWD + PUP + LR
4. $49,000 "First available" - PUP + LR - NO AWD
5. $49,000 AWD LR - NO PUP
6. $45,000 AWD PUP - NO LR
7. $44,000 LR, no PUP, no AWD
8. $40,000 PUP, no AWD, no LR
9. $40,000 AWD - NO PUP - NO LR
10. $35,000 BASE BASE BASE Model 3 with no major options.

and if you think I'm joking about the name "Performance with Performance Upgrade" go configure one on tesla.com, it literally is named that way in the configurator, just not put so close together on the pages.

Performance with Track Upgrade would sound better in every way to me.

Is there another package that's $5000 different?

Uhhh... what about this? View attachment 325358

Well, as we have seen in past posts on Electrek, when people accessed the service pages on the Model 3 screen, the battery isn't always 74.0000000000 KW. They vary. 73, 75, 76, etc. And besides all that, Tesla battery numbers go in multiples of 5. It's easy to find "75" emblems on ebay.

Lol... I was guessing he was trolling or didn't notice he posted it. @eyespii needs to up his 0-60 game on that leaderboard. LOL, we are so OT now....

S 70 and S 40. Then you could have 74... or 7400 if you wanted, lol.

Wait, I thought all 3LR's have 80.5 kWh battery.

Yah, but now that I got my wheels blacked out, the car is gonna be heavier. Too many photos of light being absorbed!

I'll make sure to do my next run at night to minimize the effect.

I really don't believe that battery size matters anymore.
