Threads like this are one of the reasons I pretty much stopped frequenting/contributing to this board....no one was given anything they weren’t promised.....

The motor change in the BOM has zero effect on the rated 0-60 time of the vehicle you purchased....

Change was due to a balance in production builds. When the SR+ was released, AWD R motor capacity wasn’t increased immediately, and there was an excess of P R motor...change to the AWD R motor happened around the the release of the Y.

And then people don’t understand where the price drops are coming from. Hell I over paid for my model 3 in 2018.

Looks like fun. Adds the rear heated seats, but I’m going to wait for the heated wheel option to to make it even better (not that they are even working on it)- although I may have the 990 motor unfortunately.

If yours is new enough to have a heated wheel (ie basically just built) it almost 100% has a 990.
