One thing I find ironic about this whole situation is everyone grabbed pitchforks about track mode because racecar but they're more than willing to go to laguna and take those corners in a lounge chair.

Yes but MPP also said that they can upgrade their firmware for each of Tesla's breaking releases to maintain their compatibity.

Next up on the track mode saga.Tesla offers a performance upgrade package for the performance model 3 owners who did not purchase the performance upgrade package. It will be called the performance upgrade package (PUP). Not to be mistaken with the factory upgraded performance upgrade package (PUP) or premium upgrade package (PUP).
It will include bigger brakes that fit under 19” sports, it’s lowered 5mm, and is capable of a top speed of 150mph. P3D+ owners are furious with Tesla because they wanted a performance upgrade package with wheel options other than the 20”.

They can try, and probably succeed, but Tesla could make it really difficult if they wanted to. Think encrypting and signing network traffic, etc.
I thought that 19" wheels would fit on the P3D+, they just weren't an option from the factory...

Yeah, but now they have to pay extra for those. Assuming Tesla even has availability on 19" rims aftermarket right now?

They could but that's a lot of work to insert said encryption on all the drops that hook into the CAN bus, and then thoroughly test to make sure everything still works correctly.
Pretty much. I want to decouple PUP on my car because the Model 3 with 20 inch wheels has the same range as my Model X towing a boat.
Tesla screwing everyone. YAYYYYY!!

But hey, you're on a boat!
Model 3 19" Sport Wheel and Winter Tire Package - Actually, I wonder if you'll need a special spacer as well on the stock 18/19" because of the weird PUP rotor hub flange.
Whine enough, and you'll eventually get what you want: Tesla confirms it's working on an aftermarket Model 3 Performance Upgrade package - Roadshow
Doesn't work in my house, but Tesla needs to make money. LOL

Last I heard the 18" rims were considered a no-go for fitting over the larger calipers.
However, judging from photos, I'd be surprised if the 19" rims didn't fit over them.

Well then... Can everyone here just start pressuring for Luda mode? Thanks!

Sorry I accidentally put that. If I knew i could fit 18" Aeros, I'd buy the PUP right now (as my car is still in build), and swap the tires as needed, but I can't so the P3D+ situation is just not for me.
The closest alternative is TSportline's 18" + buying the MXM4 from TireRack for roughly $2600. You still won't have Aero covers but range hit wont be as bad (5% instead of 15%).
The cheapest option is buy a LRR 20" tires while utilizing the existing rims. MXM4's with acoustic foam doesn't exist in 20" range, and the reduce sidewall does impact road feel from various individuals who've driven both.
Gives people options to get the software, but from what everyone says here - they are going to throw away Tesla's wheels and tires the movement it leaves the service center? So not 100% sure where the win is other than to give people the option to "retroactively" bring car up to 3P+ status in the future? Track software option would basically cost $5,000.

Yeah, because they don't want the range hit from the 20s

Do people still listen to Ludacris?
Personally, I want a ludicrous mode that drops 0-60 to under 3 seconds.

I wouldn't be getting it still, but its at least an option for P3D- owners rather than leaving them stranded without recourse.

I guess my old self is stuck on word of mouf and red light district. Under 3 seconds would be fun, maybe it can shout something too so the people trying to race us can hear us. Won't see us, but maybe they'll hear something besides a whoosh
