Thanks for the report! Did you try Max Battery Power at 100% SoC to see if the power would go higher than 432kW?
Not yet. Working my way home from the service center. Maybe try it tomorrow or later tonight if I have time.
I really just wanted the underline and the easter egg.

I recorded 453KW at 89% right after supercharging. I hit 442KW at 85% after charging at work at 6KW. Did not use max battery power in either case.

BTW, this P90D is showing a much higher reading on the KW meter than either P90DL or P85DL. Given the logarithmic scale, I'd estimate this to be about 500KW. Mine only goes just past the 4 at 453KW.

I'm surprised no one from Arizona has posted yet. I just got off the phone with the Scottsdale SC and they have been doing Ludicrous upgrades.
According to the service manager, when Tesla ships your "packet" for the upgrade and it has your name on it! Your SC knows when it ships and that is when they call you to make the appointment.
Anxiously waiting...

Nice! Sounds promising for >453kW at 100% with max battery ready (battery temps of 40-something °C).

It'll be interesting to see what the maxes are at equivalent states of charges with the battery just heated to more normal operating temperatures (Max Battery Power off, with the car having been driven a bit.) I think for many of us, those will be the most relevant numbers, as those will represent the amount of power we are likely to be able to draw in most regular driving situations, and without putting undue strain on our packs.
Yeah, it's probably the worst possible thing to do to the battery.
That said, I plan on trying it once, just to see how it goes and if it actually makes any real difference. By the time my pack degrades to the point where I wont be able to use it for sufficient range for my trips I'm going to either bug Tesla about it, or just replace it with something better.

What makes you say that? Reduction in people posting about them? Or something else?
On a related note, I'm mildly surprised they still offer it in the on-line store.

I just called Van Nuys, CA SC and they still don't have any parts. I am 15th out of 75 on the list. I am really getting anxious now that I went to the Fontana dragstrip and did 7.311 at 1/8 and 11.546 @115 in the 1/4 mile at 94%. Every run after that was slightly slower. After Ludicrous I will have direct comparison data.
