Cheetah Mode
It really is amazing how much better Tesla can keep on rewriting and reprogramming their software for its current fleet of awesome vehicles. I’m continuously impressed but at the same time also feeling left out as my already, and aging quickly, 2017 Tesla Model X 75D (friends don’t let friend buy short range versions FYI), will not be having any of the cooler features that are lined up. That is, of course, if I don’t end up paying an additional $2,500 for the upgraded MCU1 to MCU2 upgrade. I have already paid for Full Self Driving which should show up in some manner or another before the end of the year, but how much do you pour into an older car?
