Stop by your service center and ask that they remove the limiter. I guess they just forgot to do that...

Dang
I was just there yesterday for something else (Just broke my rear bumper :(!!)

It's a shame they will have me go back to get this removed !!

That's not a good sign!
What is PDI about ?!

But I
must say I am happy to learn that car was being protected and wasn't abused abuse because this way can't be abused easily !!

I don't think you even have to take it in...I think they can turn the limiter on/off remotely. I have at least heard of it happening remotely (by request). Try calling and asking...

Was it in Valet mode?
Did they do remote fix? Or did you have to go to Tesla Service Center?

Once you get into Factory Mode there is a simple setting to change this.

He he, I've thought about putting something similar on my wife's car, but figured that wouldn't go over so well once she got on the highway the first time.

I hear they remove the limiter remotely. Meaning you don't need to come in. They might just need to verify a few things, i.e. it's indeed not a loaner car.
