I drive 200 miles a day and floor it off the line several times a day from a stand still. I’ve had the car 2 yrs and have 70k miles. I CAN physically tell the car is slower after the fix. The car smoothly accelerates vs instant torque. When I used to floor it I could literally hear the tires wanting to break free. Now they as quiet as can be when I launch.
So I looked it up and there are plenty of other owners who can tell the difference as well. This is not an isolated issue I am talking about.
Obviously they can change our maps to update everything, but reducing the torque/acceleration to protect a faulty design is not the same thing. One of the big selling features was the car doing 0-60 in under 3, and the passing power it had on the freeway. Now I doubt it gets to 60 in under 3.
This is no different than Tesla corking the acceleration several years ago when Performance models launched too many times. They eventually reversed the cork after much dissatisfaction from the owners, and allowed them to launch whenever they wanted.
Bottom line is it’s wrong of them to do.
