I think they should offer an upgrade on the AWD models. Providing a paid upgrade would make some AWD owners happy for the opportunity and would bring in some more cash. They will have to be careful to position it correctly so as not to piss off existing P3D owners. Perhaps a 5k upgrade option to bring the 0-60 down to 3.8s with an OTA update.
And if possible I think a Ludicrous option on the P3D that brings 0-60 down to 3.0 seconds (with more power on the highway) for another 5k would be tempting. *There's definitely no way 2.6 is possible*
If the limit is the motors, then this doesn't make sense since that would cause expensive warranty failures, but if the limit is the battery, then higher discharge will likely increase warranty issues but not nearly as fast or as severe, perhaps Tesla can calculate how much they'd have to charge based on estimate increased warranty liability.
