"Tesla M3 laps track faster than "Alfa Romeo Giulia... matches Porsche Cayman GT4 .. beats a former Best Driver's Car winner, the 2011 Ferrari 458 Italia. . . perches the Model 3 atop the podium as the world's quickest sport sedan" on the track https://www.motortrend.com/cars/tes...erformance-track-mode-release-version-review/

For sure. If I would have known about track mode I would have bought the package and modified accordingly. Hoping I can still get it even with out purchasing Tesla pup. I have already purchased every MPP product you can get for brakes and suspension.

He's always trying to push the P100D even though physics says Model 3 should be better in every way.

Why? It’s literally awd with software, larger diameter wheels, brakes that only provide improvements under repeatative heavy braking, and shorter springs.
Track Mode would conceivable offer benefits to drivers autoxing or looking for a little fun.
The car I purchased was called the “Performance” model after all. I’m getting annoyed with this elitist bs with the “+”. I purchased the car before it was announced track mode would only be on the one with the upgrade package, and my intentions were to have more flexibility with the car.
Won’t happen. The posted update notes specially say it is only for PUP.

I drove around with track mode on and couldn’t spin the tires from a stop or in the corners. There is still supervision from the computer. I don’t see this version allowing us to drift like we all saw in a video a few months ago.
Regen feels less at low speeds and about the same at speeds between 40-70. Couldn’t really get into it as it was dark and lots of traffic. Further testing needed at a real track.

I was referring to Elon who is always trying to upsell people to the P100D for $150k. He said the P100D is faster around a track than the Model 3. It's not.
Wouldn't be surprised if the update is being pushed to P3D+ first. But folks should relax, Elon delivers, just as he delivered a Track Mode he promised would make P3D faster than BMW M3 on the track. If he says P3D- will get it, they'll get it. He's said that twice now.
I noticed the same thing, though i wonder if it behaves differently at various speeds (i.e maybe it limits power more at low speeds). Definitely need to get it out on a track to see what it can do, i'm going to look for an empty parking lot in the meantime...
