VIN gives you some additional hints in the 8 position -- perf or not.
Ludicrous is not different motors AFAIK.
_ What is Tesla's Ludicrous Mode?
For enabled 2016-2020 models, Ludicrous Mode allows more current to flow from the battery to the electric motors. This provides quicker acceleration.
_ What is the difference between Ludicrous and Ludicrous Plus?
Temperature plays a significant role in a battery’s efficiency. In Ludicrous Plus, the battery is warmed to higher temperatures to optimize acceleration. To engage Ludicrous Plus, a driver might have to wait as long as an hour for the battery to warm to its optimum temperature. However, Ludicrous Plus also features launch control. This produces maximum thrust when accelerating from a standstill.
_ Can Ludicrous Plus Mode harm your Tesla?
Tesla recommends only operating in Ludicrous Plus Mode for short amounts of time. Otherwise, it can damage the motor and other components.

Acceleration Modes
The acceleration settings available on your Model X vary depending on options chosen at time of purchase:
- Chill: limits acceleration for a smooth and gentle ride (available on all vehicles equipped with Autopilot hardware).
- Standard: provides the normal level of acceleration (available on non-Performance All-Wheel Drive vehicles).
- Sport: provides the normal level of acceleration (available on Performance All-Wheel Drive vehicles).
- Insane: increases peak torque by approximately 30 percent (available on Performance All-Wheel Drive vehicles not equipped with the Ludicrous upgrade).
- Ludicrous: increases peak torque by approximately 60 percent (available on Performance All-Wheel Drive vehicles equipped with the Ludicrous upgrade).
- Insane+: increases peak torque by approximately 30 percent (available on Performance All-Wheel Drive vehicles not equipped with the Ludicrous upgrade) while also heating up the Battery to its ideal operating temperature to ensure access to 100% of available power. Before choosing this setting, read about Using Insane+ or Ludicrous+.
- Ludicrous+: increases peak torque by approximately 60 percent (available on Performance All-Wheel Drive vehicles equipped with the Ludicrous upgrade) while also immediately heating up the Battery to its ideal operating temperature to ensure access to 100% of available power. Before choosing this setting, read about Using Insane+ or Ludicrous+.
