I'm on 2.16.17 FW and I have the same menu on my 70D also. Haven't tried it yet. We 70D users need a speed bump anyway since it already is software limited.
Sadly wk057 has been MIA since they changed the look of the website.
He does have his own website wk057's SkieNET but currently no forum. Appears to still be active hacking away.

I'm curious if it is a power percentage not imitating a certain battery size car. So 70% 90% or max being whatever the car can handle.

I installed the update last night - will check again.
Does your 60 have Autopilot hardware? Mine is a Classic -- so no AP. There are some 60s with AP (produced for ~5-6 months before the 70 was introduced...)

So I tested it out this morning, no dice. I have the menu, but any of the 70, 90 or MAX gives the same usual performance. I even logged with the REST api, the power output has been the same.
using v7.1 (2.16.17) and the "performance" code brings up 70, 90, 70D, 90D, and Max. This makes me curious.

On a P85D yes and most likely do works as its used on those cars trim to show the different power level to future customers during test drives.
Went for a drive today with the menu activated. I didn't notice a power difference but did notice that when closing out of the window, it'd always default back to 70 when I opened it again (I have a 70D). I tried driving with the menu open set to "Max" to see if there was a noticeable difference.
Can anyone confirm what's going on here? Is this just a menu left over accidentally by Tesla that doesn't change performance or perhaps only works when the car is in some sort of demo mode?

I'll want to play around with power tools for actual measurement, but I was at 90% SOC this morning and selected "max." I launched from a complete stop and lost traction to a greater degree than I'm used to. Probably just a placebo effect, but we'll see what power tools has to say.
I set mine last night on the way home to "70" and plan to drive it that way for a few days. The difference is obvious even with 3/4 accelerator press.
I'm curious how the following compare for my car...

Works on my P90DL with latest firmware.
The menu is a bit buggy (whenever you open the screen it defaults to 70, so to be sure you have chosen the right option you need to select something you don't want, and then re-select the thing you do).
The difference is immediate and obvious when I choose 70 - as you'd expect.
And... though it's probably me imagining things... I think that "max" feels quicker and more aggressive than normal. So this could potentially be the option MotorTrend got access to. Or it could just be that "P90D" means insane and "Max" means ludicrous.

Nearly Insane
Can anyone with an 85D confirm this works? 90D owners have confirmed, however I have heard nothing from 85D owners. It doesn't seem to work on my car.
Hmm, actually maybe I retract that.
Looking at people's photos it seems that it offers a list of the lesser performance variants relative to the car you're in, plus "Max" which presumably means the vehicle's full native power.
So on mine it lists 70, 90, 70D, 90D, P90D (i.e. insane) and then Max meaning ludicrous.
On another photo from an insane P90D there was no P90D option in the list; just the first 4 and then max.
Sorry, no 2.6s to 60 here today methinks :-(
@mgboyes - I think you're theory is close but I'd be willing to bet lunch my P85D (lud) can beat a P90D (non-lud) off the line. As such, I think Tesla's algorithm is "lacking" because it doesn't give me an option to compare "P90D non-lud" with "Max".
Also, it would be nice to have "P85D non-lud" in there so I can use the feature to evaluate the $5000 I spent to upgrade the fuses, etc.

I tried this on my Wife's X with 2.15.17 and it worked. Also note, the power limitation (yellow dotted lines) on the instrument cluster when 70 is selected.
