Well, I've never heard of anyone buying a Performance model and NOT getting Track Mode!
You do realize there are people who just go around forums and spread untrue rumors just to ward off potential sales, don't you?
Actually, I'm pretty sure you are well aware of this.
@StealthP3D is correct. Here’s what happened (and this is gospel, not opinion).
In 2018, when P was first introduced, there were 2 configurations: with or without the performance upgrade package (PUP). The PUP cost $5k and included track mode. So without buying PUP, no track mode. Both cars were eligible for free lifetime supercharging promotion.
But wait. In October 2018, Tesla changed pricing and configuration. They eliminated the option of buying P without PUP, and dropped the price of the PUP equipped car by $5,000, essentially making PUP free. They also ended the free lifetime supercharging promo.
Recent P buyers got irked. Those who paid $5,000 for PUP wanted their $5,000 back. Those who didn’t buy the PUP wanted something, as they now could have had the PUP for the same price they paid to not get it. Some wanted money, some wanted PUP retrofit, some just wanted track mode.
Musk tweeted “all Ps would get track mode”. He also tweeted “price drop too much too soon, all prior P owners would get option of keeping free lifetime supercharging, or getting $5 k rebate”. Quotes paraphrased but factually correct.
Tesla minions implemented this poorly. They only gave rebate to PUP owners, and informed Stealth owners that their only option was the supercharging. They also said no track mode. This went on for a month or so. A bunch of Stealth owners got annoyed by this and mobilized to contact Tesla execs to highlight the disparity between Musk’s words and the implementation. Musk said he would handle it, and he did. All Stealth owners who asked for the rebate got it. And, within 60 days or so, all Stealth Ps were also retrofitted with track mode via software update.
Since then, all of the 2019 Stealth Ps have reported track mode either at delivery, or shortly after via flash.
So.... ALL Ps HAVE TRACK MODE. I don’t care what some delivery or sales guy says, they are wrong.
