Thanks for clarifying. I never really looked into it in detail, just knew of its existence.The 3rd party full unlock does not work on any LR made in over 2 years.
It only works on the LR AWD cars that got a 980 rear motor (these cars are physically identical to the P3D-)- so just about all LR AWD made in 2018, and SOME made in 2019 and that's it.
LR AWD since mid-late 2019 use the 990 rear motor which can not be fully unlocked even by 3rd parties as its a less capable motor.
I don't know if they still make them or how that even works. But, I've seen them for sale used from Tesla recently (here is an example: 2019 Model 3 | Tesla )I don't think they do stealth anymore? They used to. Now it's just the acceleration boost upgrade. Which isn't as fast. Really interesting about the mod but it sounds a little risky.
Hmm how's the radar? Does it really help? Can count on it almost always? It might change how I drive haha. I heard they have radar detector detectors.
You can find them quickly using https://ev-cpo.com/ ... just search for Model 3 and select performance as the trim. Then just look at what wheels it has. Anything other than the 20" will be a stealth if I'm not mistaken.
I'm very happy with my Valentine 1. I had an older model that plugged into OBD2 port so that it would auto-mute at lower speeds. However the Model 3 doesn't have that port, so I upgraded to the latest V1. It is MUCH better. Combined with a companion app on my phone it quickly learns all of the false radar signals and stays nice and quiet pretty much always unless there is actually a threat. Can you rely on it 100%? Nope. But, has it saved me from getting a ticket? Absolutely - probably 2 or 3 tickets in just the past year. Radar detectors won't do anything about LIDAR/laser except let you know that it's too late - so on highway it's best to use a combination of Waze and V1. Sometimes police do use radar on the highway and when that happens you know about them wayyyy in advance. The biggest reason I bought it was because pretty much every ticket I've gotten has been on back roads when the police car was driving in the opposite direction with radar on. In this situation its a life saver and totally worth the investment to me.
