My Model 3 was enabled for “performance” just by software download. Supposedly the motors are binned for performance but they are the same motors, at least the 2018 models.

Also, there are more bees now than 10 years ago when they were supposed to all be dying and the polar bear population is not decreasing. Biggest carbon footprint you make is your kids....
