Tesla only makes 2 motors for the Model S. However they make 4 different versions of the "D". All 4 have different 0-60 times...WITH THE SAME 2 MOTORS. Why? answer = The batteries. Not the motors.The front motor maybe, but not the rear. I don't know about the S100D
I must admit that the P100D has a different relay and wires to handle the current draw, however Tesla allows that because the depletion rate of each cell in the battery is at an "acceptable" number. Tesla warranties the batteries and they just aren't going to allow motors on the non P100D to degrade a product that they cover under warranty. They protect their warranty with software limitations.
