enjoy the car anyhow?
Taking delivery of a new P90DL at the Tysons store in Virginia on Monday. This thread has me a bit worried. I'm wondering what I'll do now if the max battery doesn't peak out above 454kW ...

While you're doing the inspection during delivery take a picture from the front right wheel well of the battery part number and compare to a known 494 kW. If you think something is off don't sign the delivery paperwork. That's perfectly acceptable to do absent a due bill.Taking delivery of a new P90DL at the Tysons store in Virginia on Monday.

I thought about offering that up as a solution too.
But the trouble is the other gentleman, eclipxe's car is a late build, possibly with a late battery in it and he's only making 454KW or so.

Yet he also said he produced only 454 with and without max battery. I don't believe this is possible so I'm throwing that account out. We really just need more data. I'm certain within a week enough folks will have checked in with their results that a pattern will emerge.
I have a refresh P90DL. I can't log higher than 454kW. 90%. Max battery on or off.
so did I. and until I get scientific proof that my car is impaired its still more powerful then the regular p90d, and thats what I paid for. could it be faster still, some might say yes. eventually it wont be the fastest and I fully expected that when I wired the funds.If I"m paying $10k for the latest and greatest L and some L's are better than others, that's just not going to sit well. And it will affect the value.
But seriously, you will still enjoy yours and unless you are hunting for E/T's at the track or your neighbor has one of the very few cars that are actually quicker, then you really wont notice.
Seriously, if three of us roll out of the dealer with the "same" max'd out insanely expensive sports car and the guy in front of me and behind me gets 50 extra HP, you can understand how that doesn't feel right. It's a little different if everyone after me gets an upgrade. Painful, but kind of understandable. Of course I will love the car. I already do. But this is potentially a serious depreciation issue. And tracking it is not out of the question. I've been to Summit a few times in my GTI and am sorely tempted to take this there as well.
truth. we need more people logging their cars. this discrepancy might have been going on for a while. or it could be something bad QC... or maybe elon just like some folk more than others.That's fair, but I think we are all blowing up a bit on this. We still do not know what's happening and we only have a tiny dataset and speculation to go on.
Here's my speculation - this is a software-only change. It is not triggered by a particular firmware or hardware build, but by a feature flag - Tesla is A/B testing with customers in the field and gathering data.
To clarify my earlier comments - At 90% battery, I've tested both with Max battery ready and Max battery turned off. In both cases I have not logged higher than 454kW.
Thanks for the clarification. That's what I thought you meant.
Also the "feature flag" comment is an interesting one when I look at it in the context of zhur0002's response and results. And look at it in the context of the "special sauce" hubbub from a couple months back.
If they rooted that car and it gave them access to some menu or another allowing them to switch something on or select something, then that could explain those trap speeds.
