I absolutely have no idea why anyone would compare minor revisions with an engine change, is that some kind of hobby in this forum?
What is your evidence the engine change isn't minor?
Do you have any?
At all?
Also, that "A, B, C...G" revisions thing?
they do that for the motors too
Again- check the parts catalog.
There's been at least least half a dozen different versions of the 980 motor for example- nobody cared.
This time the engine was changed.
...and?
If the max output for that config was already software limited to well below the max of either drive unit, what difference does it make?
I ******* want to know if that is really all for nothing and I don't believe it until I heard it from Tesla (they do not seem to like tot talk about the fact that the promised power output is only available for a certain amount of time and it may be irrelevant in most countries, but not in Germany).
You again appear to be confused between 'Max possible output on a certification document' and 'Max output the cars software ever called for'
It's possible to reduce the first one without changing the second one
at all depending on the specific numbers.
Again this
exact same DU change happened on the LR AWD in early 2019.
It did not change the performance or output of the actual car
at all
Because the output is software limited, not hardware limited.
- but why would that be kept secret?
Not sure what you think was "kept secret"
If it was secret how are we discussing the fact it's documented in public papers?
