You can only get more performance if the driving circuit isn't already running 100percent of what the battery can offer. In electric bikes the most popular way to get more juice is doubling the voltage which in theory would also work on cars if the drivers can handle the higher voltage.

    If I’m not mistaken the performance model 3 got an over the air update to bring its numbers down to 3.2 sec 0-60 times and the dual motor with performance was brought down to 3.5 sec 0-60.

    This is really incredible and huge step for performance enthusiasts. Improving your car's performance is a huge part of the culture, and it is something that electric vehicles have really not be capable of doing until recently.
    That being said, I'd like to know more about the specifics of the upgraded "ghost" mods.
    What exactly was being changed in the modification?
    How does it impact battery life?
    Are there any unintended side effects (aside from the obvious warranty void)?
    Not trying to poopoo the accomplishment, but in order to see the "big picture" as you described, you should really give us the "whole picture" as well.
