Another thought... They mentioned "cherry picking" the best motors to go into the new P-AWD models.
What if they decided that motors that can't do as well with high current go to the lowly RWD, so they needed to turn down the amps on the RWD to accommodate the lower spec RWD motors they will now use for that model?
They want to encourage more people to pony up for the higher markup P-AWD version, so putting the lower spec motors into the pedestrian RWD would fit that plan, perhaps... (?)
Did I interpret that correctly? "lowest sigma output" motors get lot sorted to go to RWD ?
I wonder how long they have been sorting them like that? Have they been hand picking the best motors for a while and storing them for performance production?
