Tesla could disable the software remotely
Ah, yeah - I doubt they would do that, but you never know.

Likely 980 as your got it September, 18 when there was the same motor in AWD and performance.
Do you have an example of where to find this exactly? I am curious as to which one my car is, but wasn’t seeing anything behind the rear drivers side tire...@JP123 If you get a chance, could you check and see what rear motor number you have? If it is a true Stealth Performance, it'll have a 980 rear motor. If it's a LR AWD that has performance software, you'll see a 990 rear motor.
You can easily see the big 980 or 990 numbers by taking a flashlight, and looking back behind the driver side rear tire at the motor. You'll see a big plate on the motor with the numbers on it.
If you have a 980 rear motor, you truly have a Stealth Performance. If you have a 990 rear motor, someone messed up and put performance software on a LR AWD. At least, that's conventional wisdom at this point, as we have never seen a Model 3 Performance (Stealth or otherwise) with 990 motors.
What’s the last manufacture date for them having the same rear motor?
There's an old thread with some pictures in it... I'll try to dig it up and post it here.Do you have an example of where to find this exactly? I am curious as to which one my car is, but wasn’t seeing anything behind the rear drivers side tire...
Don’t know, somewhere early 2019. @Knightshade might know or there is a thread on motors here somewhere
There's an old thread with some pictures in it... I'll try to dig it up and post it here.
From directly behind the tire, start moving the light toward the center of the car. You'll see the big motor with the plate on it.
thank you!@Kennymb5384 Here's a link to a post that has a picture of the plate that sits on top of the motor.
Still looking for the thread that has the other pictures in it...
Edit: Here's another post that shows a bit better how far along the axle (how far away from the tire) you have to look to see it.
I’m short on specifics here, but Tesla rolled out the SR+ way before the SR, which was just a software limited SR+. Many buyers paid for the SR, but received un-limited SR+. Many months later, some complained that the extra range was taken away. Tesla is pretty busy... so things don’t always get reconciled promptly. don’t be disappointed if you get ‘downgraded’ to what you paid for many months later. I hope this is a permanent windfall for you, but don’t count on it.Ah, yeah - I doubt they would do that, but you never know.
You're welcome. And if you have a 990 rear motor, I'll eat Knightshade's hat.thank you!
I suspect they fear the blowback from tens of thousands with 990 DU who purchased simultaneously and arbitrarily were delivered a car that is not capable of that power.Wish they would just stop messin around and allow an uncork for the 980 LR AWDs...
Charge another $2k...or don’t...but just dew it!

they've offered a boost that is presumably all that 990 is capable of. It’s really not that far off P performance.
Disagree. Different situation. When new capability starts on a specific mfg date, you can do that. When you make 980 and 990 side by side and sell both as LR for years simultaneously, you should not. It is not equitable.Should uncork to full potential like they did the Model S. They’re charging for it anyways. Might as well put the best vehicles out if they can do so safely.

It's unusual that a thread discussing stealth performance cars has made it to three pages before devolving into a "They should uncork all 980 LR AWD cars" vs. "They shouldn't uncork all 980 LR AWD cars" argument.
This is another one of those subjects that needs a Master Thread.
