NZ Model 3 RWD (60kWh) performance improved?

I got my Model 3 RWD in March 2022, and once the battery is warmed up it performed pretty well, however it often hesitated in acceleration when I put my foot down (though pulled strongly from about 70kph). Other members have noted that the acceleration doesn't ramp up strongly until 60-70kph.
However recently my Model 3 has been performing much better. It now doesn't hesitate when I put my foot down and starts accelerating strongly from about 50kph (even when the battery has not been warmed up). Wondering if this was fixed / improved by a recent software update or if there was some other factor in play here. Has anyone else noticed a change?
Really happy with how its performing now.

over last few months driving is much improved... I use FSD all the time and now it doesn't play stop and speed up anymore, instead it smoothly slowly drives in traffic situation. same with speeding up, and Thump sound when trying to accelerate on inclined road... many things improved.

Something improved/fixed? no one knows, as our cult leader at Tesla likes secrecy and loyalty... everything need to know basis and no one is allowed to speak ill... none release note in updates mention fixes, bugs, gotchas etc.

Simply enjoy improvements, until in next update it's messed up, like navigation (random signals on road and random indicating on itself)...
