My LR has the same motor. Mine was built in June 2020 and they were having trouble with a shortage of standard motor.
It’s [980] the motor found in performance 3’s and y’s. The LR’s typically have what are known as 990 motors, which are supposedly not as powerful.

I saw a video where a Model 3 owner showed the motor identification plate without removing the wheel. He just stuck the camera back there.

Absolutely zero immediate, practical benefit of any sort. It’s just for laughs and giggles at present time.Without an official (or unofficial) software unlock / upgrade, is there any immediate benefit to having the 980 instead of the 990?
