Completely agree with you on this one. I think their reply would be "We cannot allow you to drive a dangerously modified vehicle that we manufactured"....Or something of the like.

But my performance does 0-60mph in 3.00 seconds on the street, with all season tires. So 3.10 isn't getting performance numbers.
Gotta count the rollout, like every spec tester does.this is mine, I'm right below him... And it goes to show you don't need ps4s or crazy sticky tires to do this. It was continental all seasons at 45psi because I was doing a top speed run & not focusing on 0-60. Am 100% certain I could drop the tire pressure and get around the same times he has.

Far more concerning to me is locking the cars down against DIY repairs. That's the mod I'll be looking for - unless it's absolutely necessary, I want nothing to do with Tesla SCs after the warranty runs out.
Looking more and more like it will be time to sell when the warranty runs out on a Tesla. I hate being trapped like a rat by a car manufacturer.

Same here. It's the only thing that gives me anxiety about this car. Not that other manufacturers don't do this, but it's way easier for Tesla to do it on a whim & a lot harder for us to unwind it. It'd be a shame, too, because the Model 3 is stupid easy to work on. It could be a DIYer's dream if they loaded everything you need onto the car's computer. Commands to drain the coolant, instructions, specs, etc. Battery replacements could conceivably cost <$6 or $7K if Tesla allowed indys to do a plug & play a swap. Especially after the Chinese inevitably reverse-engineer the entire car & start selling aftermarket battery packs on Alibaba for $3,000.
I've saved untold thousands of dollars through DIYs that any dunce with a basic tool kit from Costco could do in an empty parking lot. Relying on my own devices to get from point A to B really matters to me - if Tesla were to take this away, it'd be my last one. Right to Repair is a serious issue that'll only get more important as the answer to "do I really own my car?" becomes increasingly nebulous.

Not anything I'd want to put my junk 12" above, at this point.
If Not Tesla was able to manufacture cheap enough for even just a module swap refurbishment for that price we'd see a lot more BEVs on the road.Everyone uses the rollout. I can assure you that this mod saying 3.1 seconds, also includes the rollout

No, they do not.
Tesla doesn't even use it for non-P models (which is the model this mod is for).
Most non-US companies don't use it for any model. Go look at the posted times for BMWs on the BMW website- those are ALL without rollout.
Rollout is really a Dragstrip/US/US car mag thing.

I must have missed a post. Did Tesla day they won’t allow repairs to the car from anyone other than Tesla ?
I know he has not issues with after market physical mods. He stated that in a recent interview.
Software hacks are different of course.
Did I get that wrong. Did Tesla state that you can’t repair the car yourself ?

Many repairs are currently impossible because Tesla will not sell/license/give-access-to the software and passwords required to activate the replacement parts.

Ah. So I did miss that.
Could that be, because they want to ensure the software and hardware repairs are in Sync for safety reasons ?
I know for sure that malfunctions, accidents, or breakdowns, resulting from Software Hardware conflict mods will be blamed on Tesla.
If you owned Tesla, would you want that headache. ?

I don't, nor does anyone else honest as far as I'm concerned. 0-60 measurements should be from a STOP. If you wait until the car has moved a foot, you're not measuring 0-anything anymore.

de ‘ole shakedown disguised as safety trick. This can be debated ad infinitum, but the fact of the matter is if you think they’re locking things down purely out of concern for safety, I have a bridge to sell you.
