M3P- . What is it, how to order it, etc.

[Jwalker9]

I ordered it ~11:30am ET Wednesday. My delivery date isn't until next Wednesday..

Will be here soon! I was leaving on a trip Monday and emphasized I needed it ASAP. They worked hard to make it happen! Was on lot in town so not too hard to accomplish other than 3rd party financing being set up rapidly to get real done in time for delivery appt. but it all came together in the end!

No, somewhat disappointingly, I can’t find any mention of performance anywhere. No track mode. The console display just said Dual Motor Long Range.
Long story, but there was some confusion over the badges on back of car before I left. My badge says Dual Motor with red line underneath. They took it back and we’re going to change it to performance badging, but ended up that IS the performance badging?
Then a guy came and handed me my keys and said the Performance was a software update that I should see finish very soon.
As of yet, I haven’t found where it definitely has the performance software update. Was
Hoping to wake up this morning and see it mentioned somewhere but I didn’t. Will call them later today.

Interesting the P upgrade seems to be done over the air vs as the service center. Keep us posted.
Also the car came with the performance emblem already installed and not service center installed?
Should say Dual Motor Performance when hitting the tesla logo at the top of the screen.

It doesn’t say Dual Motor Performance on even Performance vehicles. Just Dual Motor, though it does show the red calipers/larger wheels.

If the guy handed you keys, you didn't buy a Model 3!

The card keys he took them went they went to sort the possible badge swap.

Here’s my screen. Again, no mention of performance?

Update! My Tesla app just updated to a red underline! This wasn’t there an hour ago.

 

[Schroeder0202]

Awesome info.
Weird it doesnt show on your main screen though.
Glad this is all coming together now

So do you have track mode in the car now?

 

[Jwalker9]

Wow. My car totally just

updated. Screen now showing performance and track mode where there was previously no track mode. It’s greyed out though. But on my drive to work today, was not there.

Can’t wait to leave work and drive it!

 

[Schroeder0202]

Wonder why its greyed out or if you have to be in veh w cetain settings on to engage.

 

[Jwalker9]

Good question. Will find out and report back later today. Good sign that it’s at least there now though?

Dont know, im not a P owner so dont know how to engage or even why you need it unless you are physically on a track.

Congrats @Jwalker9 .

Now I just have to wait until they accidentally build some PYD- and pick up one of those.

Has anyone (other than me) with a late build (~6/19) LR AWD tried, via the Tesla app, scheduling a "software update" and putting in the note field a desire to add the performance update? I just did that and it allowed me to schedule a mobile appointment. I also sent a text msg to the person that delivered my LR AWD. I'm sure it just won't happen, but I do expect to get a call at some point. At that point, I will ask many questions...

So its all in the software. I said I really didn't need the performance acceleration that 4.4 was enough. They downgraded it to standard AWD and replaced the badge. Picking up within 24 hrs.

Wow. My car totally just View attachment 431599 View attachment 431600 updated. Screen now showing performance and track mode where there was previously no track mode. It’s greyed out though. But on my drive to work today, was not there.

Can’t wait to leave work and drive it!

It’s a good day for an early lunch break.

I wonder what version of the software includes that performance update? Once we know that, we can track on Teslafi?

kinda curious. So you're going to receive a Performance car with the lowered suspension, upgraded brakes, upgraded wheels and upgraded pedals ? What was the cost savings to delete the performance software?
