Elon has more recently (maybe 6 months ago) tweeted that they can't really push Model 3 further...but people are hanging on to the 3 year old tweet?

Yeah.......whatever. He still spouts a lot of crap that never happens. You can call it whatever you want.Sure, but if person A says X, and someone reports that person A said X, that is hardly speculation.
Now, saying that person A will not accomplish X, that is speculation.
Ack, they got me. I missed the date and thought that was a recent tweet. I get the joke now.Elon has more recently (maybe 6 months ago) tweeted that they can't really push Model 3 further...but people are hanging on to the 3 year old tweet?
When this came out for the S was it only on new cars? Or did they do a software update for existing cars?

I assume you mean this one that he states "*might* be able to increase M3P power output a little" ? Makes sense for the P3D atleast.
Because that is what it is, speculation:
Tesla Model 3 with Ludicrous may be coming as Model S, X receives 'Plaid' updates
In March, we got 5% more power and .1sec drop in 0-60 times for $0.
He sure does... some of it is plain dumb ... some of it is childishly hilarious:Yeah Elon says a lot of things.......
There was no impact to 0-60 times from the advertised power upgrade.
But it did cost $0.

You have a weird interpretation of what that tweet and response."Model 3 would beat Taycan ... because it has more range"
is the epitome of a lame excuse.
If either stock TM3 or MS could beat Taycan on Nurburgring, Tesla would have been driving them them there already.
Instead, they shipped an MS-plaid prototype, then shod it with R-comp tires, to try to beat Taycan.
'nuff said.
Link?Im not optimistic that it will happen but the only thing I see that supports the idea to uncork more power is that in the motor thread a recent poster stated that the HP rating of the 980 used on the RWD models is higher than the current HP rating of the M3P 980 motors. There might be some more headroom but I still don't see it happening as theres no real competition to the 3's speed yet anyways. Maybe when the new BMW M3 goes on sale.
Maybe he’s waiting for the C8 Vette to come out.I'm just gonna put this out there from what Elon said earlier today regarding potential future power upgrades to the Model 3...
