But it costs as much as the regular performance version... whoever ended up with a stealth, congrats! Your car just appreciated in value.

ha! this is the reverse of the situation when Tesla decided to add the Performance upgrade free back in 2018... guess that means everyone who got a cheap stealth needs to give Tesla a $5000 refund check, right?

Yup but that's not the price I saw - oh wait, Canada!

So they are removing track mode from the P3D- now? I wonder if I still have that feature on my older P3D-?
Also, both cars are the same price? So the performance upgrade is free right now?

And finally, they reflect the EPA ratings of 322 miles and 299 miles so maybe we'll stop getting those questions?
299 mile range for a performance+ while the stealth has 322. Interesting trade off. I don't see why the price is the same for both given the costs for everything the P+ has. My guess is to increase profits since people would be paying the same money for less.

No update has removed my track mode; I'm inclined to believe it's just a website thing. Fingers crossed they don't bother to remove track mode just cause you don't get Tesla's brake kit etc. It's pretty clear a fair number of folks do track these cars and improve the brakes etc beyond what Tesla offered and Track mode is required!

ooh...good catch!
Kinda reinforces what I said all along that TM was specifically designed for the P wheels and especially brakes.

Also makes the 2k LR AWD acceleration boost a decent deal again.
Especially since it looks like the P3D- no longer gets track mode (since they specifically list TM as something the Performance Upgrade adds now)

As usual with Tesla, it's totally ambiguous based on the way the website displays it. It shows you get everything even without selecting the option (which obviously isn't true - though admittedly those features are listed below that option so presumably are all included in that package). But then when you click the option another "performance option" dropdown appears. If you click on the website to "show those details", if you were literally interpreting what was going on, I guess you might conclude that the Performance upgrade package includes ONLY this stuff. But frankly it's all screwed up:
I would not read too much into this. So we've gotten rid of the questions about 322 mile and 299 range, and now we'll have 7 new threads about whether Track Mode is included on the Stealth or not. Good news is that Groundhog Day is coming up. I'm going to put myself out there on the side of "Track Mode is still included with the Stealth."

Are the older cars actually 322 mile rated now too? It's possible they will no longer offer track mode, but if they do then they should remove it from the performance upgrade listing as that is technically not part of the performance upgrade now.
Also price should be lower for not performance upgrade since well, the wheels and brakes are cheaper and you also get aluminum pedals and spoiler with the upgrade. Who wouldn't want the upgrade!?!

It's also worth noting that on the website right now, the price is the same whether or not you select the option (I see now that the OP pointed this out). It's odd. Maybe they are coming around to @Knightshade's theory that that upgrade package is worthless?

I don't think that is the case I was thinking the same thing about the top speed. but when you click it you see a new drop down that lists only brakes spoiler and pedals. so those are the things a person would be paying for and not getting. also the smaller tires are cheaper as well... i think trackmode and the higher top speed are still apart of it. only reason you get better ranges is because of the smaller tires.

Disagree. We need that button in this forum

No one knows. But likely they will never actually display 322 miles. Even the 2020s don't display 322 miles yet (not that it matters at all, necessarily) - they seem to display 314 miles instead...(odd). Assuming a software upgrade comes out for the 2020s that actually updates them to 322 miles, then we'll have a better idea of whether they are going to mess around with older vehicles. (They may well improve efficiency on older vehicles, but that doesn't mean any of these displayed numbers have to change.)
