That's my thinking...although he also said he recently received a software update as well (doesn't imply its an OTA but a flash directly from Tesla)
Well mine is going in day after tomorrow, Monday, for my Ludicrous upgrade. I intend to ask , but knowing the history of poor communication, I'm not expecting too much info on it when I get to my SC..
But if there actually is something else, I'd hate to have to go back for it. Also it would seem to be harder for them too, if the car has to be taken in to have it done. Think of all the
P90D owners who would have to take their cars in to get whatever this is, .......that's if it is anything.
While it is true that they never promised equal performance between
P85D and
P90D , pure speculation follows here.
Perhaps if there is something here extra, some "special sauce" requiring a code sequence to activate it, maybe it requires going back to the SC, (with more money than the $5K already spent) to get it for
P85D owners, but not
P90D owners.
I'm still mystified as to how they could advertise 10.9 for the
P90D Ludicrous, if it could never do that. Perhaps, and again, this is pure speculation, grasping at straws even, but perhaps, this explains it.
The "horsepower motorpower" thing can be explained as a misinterpretation, i.e. they can say, and apparently have said, that "horsepower motorpower" was not meant to be taken mean the same as "horsepower" as it pertains to EVs. But 10.9 seconds is 10.9 seconds.
But if there were some sort of code sequence necessary to extract more performance out of Ludicrous, well then why haven't we seen or heard of it until now, and with no official word on it yet?
