Elon probably wants to put that pesky iPace in its place

Are we talking about more than the current ~570-580 kW output?
no this in reference to my X 100D tests I did a long time ago, I said Tesla could make it quicker/faster if they wanted... a few said it's not possible or wouldn't happen...
Why not add a clause to the purchase indicating that the current configuration including Ludicrous must remain the same when purchased? Then, if they start stuttering you will know.
He can't put a condition on a lease turn-in. And once it is turned in he no longer owns it. So by the time it is made available to purchase as a CPO, or used, car Tesla could have already nerfed it. So leaving the configuration the same wouldn't be a problem.
He is gambling that he will be able to buy his car back from Tesla cheaper than the residual value of the lease. Tesla could send the car to auction, use it as a loaner, or any number of other things. (Someone may be working with an OA that is looking for that exact configuration and they might get first dibs since they were looking first.)
Not to bring back a dead horse, but has anyone seen any evidence of Tesla reducing power on used P90D cars? I'm about to turn my lease in and attempt to buy it back when it is listed as a used car. If they wanted to reduce warranty costs, they would remove ludicrous or reduce power output on all P90Ds that get resold through them. But, hopefully they would indicate that somehow and not just do it silently.... That would be a problem. I would hate to buy back my own car and get it back slower then when I turned it in.
Already started looking at the Porsche 911 Turbo S to replace my S when my lease is up. Should be as fast as the P100D.
No other performance car in the world does such things.
read bhzmark's posts carefully.
The poster is either trying to wind people up or she/he actually believes that what has been done "in software" is an acceptable practice. If that belief is real, my plan is to understand that point of view as best I possibly can as it likely mirrors the same type of thinking going on within the Tesla brain trust.
Any car that can't at least double it's warranteed mileage while retaining most of it's original characteristics I think almost anyone would regard as garbage. i
The reason this thread and others have gone silent is that most have simply moved on. Tesla is another me too manufacturer that could, and now has, pulled these shenanigans.
