That is interesting, but after paying 4k more for a P model I must say a bit disturbing.I received the VIN (PF714xxx) and inspected MYLR today - I was told it just came off the Fremont assembly line yesterday. 8th digit of the VIN is "E" and it has the 980 rear motor.
LR above has the same motors as my and other Performance Model buyers and the difference in HP in this case is only a programing limitation on the LR's ?
So now some E 8th digit Vin Fremont cars have the same motors as a Performance model?
Are the driver boards identical as well?
When buying the Performance MY over the LR what does this description from the details page Really mean??
"Performance All-Wheel Drive"
Have only had my car 2 days and really Really like it but thought I was getting a higher power higher duty drive train/system. I guess there is value in having Tesla warranty for the 3.8 seconds to 60MPH versus buying a tuner to unlock it and losing the warranty
Track mode has value as well.
