You’re a bit confused…Tesla has not “always” been installing performance motors in LR. And the so called “stealth” was still sold as a performance MY and only for a very short period of time.

Ok, my tracking spreadsheet is getting a bit too big to share the image, but I am seeing some trends. First off, some MYLR vehicles initially had the F in the 8th VIN digit, identifying as a performance (and having the 4D1 motor). That has seemed to stop with all recent MYLRs showing the E digit.
Most of the Fremont MYLR vehicles are shipping with a mix between the 3D5/990 standard and 3D1/980 performance motors - manufactured from Nevada (TG1 code on the motor). Most Fremont build MYPs are getting the Austin build 4D1 motor but some have the 3D1/980 performance motor.
Starting in January/February, most of the MYLR vehicles from Austin are shipping with the 4D1 motor, which makes sense since the 4D1 motors are manufactured in Austin. Before that, they often received the Nevada built 3D1/980 motor. Austin's 4680 battery MYAWD is typically shipping with the Nevada built 3D5/990 motor.
A "head scratcher" for me is seeing a few March 2023 Austin build MYLR motor plates having a GFB motor, which means the motor was manufactured at Giga Berlin. I'm not sure why, since the 4D1 is being produced in Austin (Giga Texas)? These motors were received by TMC members Christian87n, evRob78 and 949r6. In regards to 949r6, the motor plate was a bit hard to read (perhaps a stamping error) for the GFB but it seemed to be built in 12/21/2022 with the vehicle manufactured in March 2023.

Thanks, JCLJ! Did not catch I had a Berlin motor - looks like my motor was built on 10 Feb 23 - vehicle manufactured in March. Wonder if demand in US for MY was high due to rumors that tax credit might end, and motors were the critical path, so Tesla imported some Berlin motors to keep production up.
Any difference between Berlin and Austin 4D1s? Would hope they're identical.
Read post #204 in this thread, Jim Smith did some data logging with Ingenext and highly recommended the upgrade.
This. Thanks. I really need to get more posts in so I can react to posts and get a Signature line etc.. Still new to these forums..
Incredibly high if you order Model Y Performance!
LoL but he is asking for a LRIncredibly high if you order Model Y Performance!
My tracking has been focused on US/domestics motors, but we did get a couple responses from Canadians. I'm not sure why. but their Fremont built MYLRs received China built motors (3D6 or 3D7).
