I wonder if they typically launch with very conservative defaults and over time can learn more about the system and what tweaks can be done without causing too many issues. In ICE there's this whole "chip tuning" culture that does this as well. With a trivial updating process and all the data each Tesla sends, it seems like "chip tuning" is built into the Tesla culture as well.

Good point. Slamming full torque as fast as possible on a Tesla might physically break things and should only be pushed out as an update after appropriate testing. I'm assuming they were not even getting the highest possible torque out of it though. Electric motors are a fairly interesting problem and most of the work goes into dealing with limiting cases. Most of the literature doesn't even deal with some of the fundamental problems and most people just avoid them by leaving a little performance on the table.
