Yeah, little known fact. The Tesla Model 3 Performance and the Model 3 LR AWD have the exact same batteries and motors. There's literally nothing stopping Tesla from offering an even higher performance boost for LR AWD owners to grant the same 0-60 as the Performance model, but they don't because it would cannibalize Performance sales.


I present you with Flir 80×40 resolution E4, one setting away from full 320×240 E8

Oscilloscopes are another product notorious for shipping same hardware with different jumpers/variables in the firmware.

I wouldn't say nothing. A higher power profile will cause more wear, leading to more warranty claims. TANSTAAFL.


The warranty is likely to expire before the higher wear actually starts leading to reliability issues.

I'm also unsure how much it really makes a difference in an electric motor compared to a combustion engine. Unless you're going to the track (or significantly breaking speed limits), you're only putting extra wear on the motors for 2-4 seconds at a time, which is all it takes to get to your 40-70 mph target speed.


That's okay, warranties exist for a reason.
