Anti stealth is some nonsense a member here came up with because he wanted the looks of the Performance Upgrade Package on a non Performance Model 3.

What the heck do these terms mean? P+, P-, Stealth Performance, Anti-stealth

'AWD+' or 'AWD Plus' is the term found in some config XML and does indeed coincide with the Marketing 'Acceleration Boost' upgrade available to non-Performance Dual Motor LR AWD Model 3s.
'Stealth Performance' can also (and most fittingly) mean a mid/late 2018, early 2019 Dual Motor LR AWD Model 3 reflashed to full Performance spec (with or without track mode)... 18 Aeros or 19 Stilletos, regular brakes, regular calipers, ideally black/wood trim interior, no cf spoiler and no Dual Motor or Dual Motor underline badging.
While 'Anti-Stealth Performance' I assume can just as easily refer to any stealth Performance Model 3, which has been brought as close to the typical Performance spec/look. Silver or Dark Grey 20s, larger disc brakes, red 4-pot? calipers, cf spoiler, Dual Motor plus red underline trunk badge, slight drop,, misc suspension tidbits.

All performance cars have track mode, AWD with $2k power upgrade does not; stealth performance originally only came with 18" aeros but later, in the newer waves of them, some could be 'found' with the OEM 19 or 18 depending.

Not from Tesla, they are both red and larger front and rear. Aftermarket painting is what some do
Pretty sure SR is Standard Range, not Short Range.

Nice point.
So does EAP mean
Enhanced Auto Pilot or Early Access Program or .....
just kidding.
Thanks. There are a fair amount of Performance cars out there WITHOUT track mode. These are the true stealth performance cars from late 2018 early 2019 that started their lives as LR AWDs and were subsequently reflashed to performance motor spec on or after delivery (sometimes by mistake, often since the owner ordered a Performance but received a LR AWD for whatever reason).
This is also the reason such Stealth Performance cars came with either the 18s/Aeros or 19s/Stilletos.
This form of Stealth Performance is different from the one you describe (sleeper, not immediately obvious Performance trim Performance cars).

This post confuses me - ALL Performance cars, stealth or otherwise, have Track Mode unless the owner has blocked firmware updates for 6+mos.
My car is an original Stealth Performance, delivered to me Aug 8 2018. I swapped out the 18" aeros with the OEM 19s on the RWD car I traded in for the current AWD Performance. It was Performance without upgrades, specifically ordered by me with that config because I didn't want the 20" rims nor loss of range; it was a performance trade off I was willing to make.
The guesstimate by many is that some errors in Stealth Performance cars delivered with "just" AWD software but could be re-flashed is based on the fact that 980 vs 990 motors were on all Model 3s in the beginning thus all AWD could be so flashed. Like many, the Dual Motor (red underline badge) did not come with my car but showed up some months later. Anyone with Performance software can get that badge if they want, only those with performance upgrade can get a spoiler from Tesla.
Only in the newer waves could you potentially get a stealth performance car with 18 or 19, when I got mine there was no option from Tesla. Annoying but conveniently I had those rims on my RWD so I swapped them; those with the 18s were the original stealth performance cars.
Tesla also recently muddied the waters a small bit by offering essentially the AWD+ package, a $2k firmware tweak to increase the performance making it closer to any Performance car but no Track Mode.

FWIW, Elon consistently refers to the Performance as "3P." I've started using this. And 3D for AWD (could not find how Elon refers to this - multiple AWD references of course). But whatever floats your boat.

Whatever term is used, is it safe to say all “Performance” models can claim to do 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds?

Nearer 3.0 if you're talking "magazine" measured times using 1 foot rollout... (likewise the AWD is roughly 3.5 and 3.9 measured that way depending if you have the 2k acceleration boost or not)

I *think* Stealth Performance means you can rip by a cop at 160 mph and not worry about being seen or ticketed or jailed.
Hmmm....if traffic isn't too bad on the way home from work, will confirm.
Spoiler alert: no I won't...it's suburban Boston. I'll be lucky to get up to 45.
I've updated the SR for you: both what the acronym stands for and the interior
But it isn't Mickey Mouse crap - there are differences (and the + is official Tesla designation on the SR Plus, though admittedly they don't use the + sign). It's a way of delineating the differences that do exist.
