    As much as we should hate Tesla, in 2019, they increased the Model 3’s power FOR FREE. I was at 5.2 seconds 0-60, and that was a free update to 4.9s 0-60. I didn’t even have the AWD or performance model. They figured out how to make the motors better and just gave it to everyone. Why isn’t VW doing the same? Fucking greed.

      VW are worse. They are handicapping features of the car unless you pay the extortion.

      They didn’t figure out how to make the motors better. They just moved the safety margin
