"Performance" easter egg on model 3?

[ericscottf]

Hi all,

I recall that there was an egg on the model S/X awhile ago that allowed higher trim models to emulate the lower trims - mostly there, I think, for the showrooms to be able to show off all levels of the car w/o stocking all of them.

I'm considering swapping my S75D for a non-P AWD3, and got to test drive the RWD and performance 3, but not the AWD.
I definitely wouldn't trade my 75 for the RWD, and the P-3 was definitely worth trading for, but I'm not budgeted for the P-3... So the only power level of the car I couldn't test is the one I'd get, which my showroom didn't have.

I asked a few employees about putting it into simulated non-p mode, and they had no idea what I was talking about, and I didn't think to search for the egg to try it to see if it would work. The internet is not helpful with whether or not it would work on the 3 as well.

Anyone know for sure?

Thanks

Hold the Tesla T logo and then enter the word "performance". I don't know if anyone has tried this in a 3 yet...will check this out later.
What does this do? (holding "T")

Please let me know if it works in the 3, I don't want to waste anyone's time by scheduling another drive if I won't get any more info out of it.

Thanks

It doesn't work on the 3 (as of a week or two ago when I test drove a P3D+ anyway)

I've tried "Performance" and it has no effect on a LR RWD. I've also tried just about every other word/term i can think of that is semi-related

Just tried this, and nothing happens.

Maybe someone can download the firmware and search through the code to see if there is an Easter egg for that.

The “performance” code hasn’t worked in few years now for S/X

Yeah. I remember using it years ago but can't remember the last version when it actually worked.

I test drove a P100D about 3 or 4 months ago and the menu was enabled on it FWIW

Probably need new code as it didn’t work today

Could be something only enabled on test drive S/X cars anymore I suppose... (though that makes it extra weird they don't offer same on the P3D+ test drive cars)

I don't think that you will find that much difference in the RWD and AWD non-P versions. Was the RWD not enough for you but the P AWD too much?

I was able to enter the performance code in an AWD Model 3 in a showroom yesterday. The only option that came up was “70” and “Max”. Just tried it in my Performance Model 3 hoping to get “70”, “70D” and “Max” but nothing came up. Maybe if it’s in showroom mode?

would be cool if the AWD-3 owners could get temporary access to what the P version would feel like... we all know it's the same hardware and just a software thing

Does nothing in my performance model.

Having driven all three variants, I’d say the AWD is noticeably quicker than RWD.
