What happened the the "Performance boosting firmware update" Elon mentioned?

[stevezzzz]

Scott I understand and agree with your points.

I am just growing tired of the Elon tweets hyping this stuff and not delivering, and coming up with bogus or no timeframes.

Hey, get in line! I'm still waiting for the pano roof sun shade that's on my Due Bill from September 2012. :wink:

If your battery dies because you tracked your Tesla the warranty won't cover it. They'll know you did it. Even if the range is reduced the warranty doesn't cover reduced range.

Yes it will cover it. It covers it against all kinds of abuse even intentional.

Except in the cases of a collision, opening of the battery pack by non-Tesla personnel or intentional abuse (lighting the pack on fire with a blowtorch is not covered!), all damage is covered by warranty, including improper maintenance or unintentionally leaving the pack at a low state of charge for years on end. The battery will be replaced at no cost by a factory reconditioned unit with an energy capacity equal to or better than the original pack before the failure occurred.

Cool. Some times it's awesome to be totally wrong

Yup, and I have done over two dozen track days in various ICE vehicles, but you'll never see me abuse my battery like. So they only people this will benefit are those going to track them. For everyone else, the industry wide insurance rates will tick up as top speed is one of those variables they use.

German autobahn?
