There is an AWD and and AWD performance, and then there’s the Performance Upgrade Package, but the hardware differences between the PUP cars (or p3D+ as it’s sometimes called, even though Tesla doesn’t call it that) are probably not relevant to autocrossing. OTOH, if only P3D+ cars get “track mode,” that could be a big deal.

Re: range. Yes, planning gets easier as you get into the rhythm of it.
Tesla's "updating" existing cars is not going to mesh well with SCCA Solo classing/rulemaking. The two possibilities I see are the classing and rulemaking process advances into the 20th century or Tesla cars get buried to avoid upsetting apple carts.

I think one has a 1% or so chance of happening and the other about 99%.

Will probably only happen after a class gets really screwed up by it, Maybe DS drivers will be the lucky ones next year?
