I was leaning toward a performance MS when I ordered last October but my SA said there wasn't that much difference so I went with the Long Range.
I have now decided that I should have ordered the performance version. In doing some research it seems that most of my car already has the correct parts to use the large motor (ASY, P-TRAIN, REMAN, SPORT, LARGE DU, Option Code: DU03 part number 1025598-00-T). I don't care about the carbon fiber trim etc but I would definitely need the firmware flashed to use the performance version features.
I have spoken with a third party service center and they can do it but I'm concerned about losing my warranty and future software update problems. I would prefer to do it officially through Tesla. I have messaged a service tech at my local SC but have not heard back yet.
Am I crazy? Any advice on getting this done? I appreciate all comments and suggestions.
