Yeah exactly! This is a fairly one-sided thing, and is for the track right? So you don't need hundreds or thousands of employees testing it everywhere. They probably need to of course validate the UI, and the road and track behavior and tuning, but I don't believe there'd be too much to it outside of that. The bulk of development was likely completed at the Nürburgring already. So the testing period for final release may be much smaller.
And, it seems to be based on the .44 v11 branch, so they know those errors already - as it has been out for a week.
If they do that, it would further devalue the flagship Plaid. There is little sub-Model differentiation as it is!
Exactly! 100% this.
Yeah I'm unsure in what sense they are using Palladium here, because as you say, Palladium was code for the refresh in totality. However, to temper expectations, I think they may mean Plaid in this case, as when Palladium was described (even though it was for MS in general), it was mostly referred to as a tri motor car with an entirely new interior and a new cooling system. Very little was known about the LR until Tesla announced it.
Yeah that would be kinda bad for the Plaid lol. In this case, I would look at what is included in the M3 line, as Tesla as a whole is forming their lineup to be really uniform, and the LR does get an acceleration boost option, but no track mode. I would think the same thing happens here.
Because Tesla likes the profit margin of the Plaid more than the LR?! Certainly fits their build profile of mostly Plaids!
I don't see it as a thing to get sales. Not at all. I view this as Tesla finally getting around to providing what they always were going to. Very little people will know about this update unless they really follow Tesla, and heck they may not even notice the option to activate it!
Well, it’s a publicly traded company, so there’s a constant and increasing pressure to grow exponentially. And, supply has caught up with demand for the Plaid, so…. they need to do something with the new MS and MX line to satisfy the Street and shareholders!
That's like saying... Well, it's 5 o'clock somewhere! lol ENJOY!
Sure, but again, this is a very niche thing to do. So niche that there is no way it's for press or sales. If they really needed to get attention, they would bump the range or performance, or drop the price. That would get noticed. And yeah they've met demand for Plaid, but LR is still a while to go. It's not like they need to spur sales. Remember that just because they've met demand doesn't mean that demand slows down; it just indicates that production is going well. I personally doubt that they will ever have a "demand" problem for S and X. The growth in demand for EVs as a whole ensures that I think, along with all of the constant press with the Plaid.
For anyone curious, had the PS4 all seasons installed today on the Arachnids. 265/35/21 front, 295/35/21 rear.
on the bright side, my delivery window jumped forward to 1/4/-1/8 so looks like I'm getting a car next week? I really hope so.A no brainer….
Not much… only the addition 350+ HP you Peacock owners feel when you mat it
