It's not just track mode. They can change the acceleration. I vaguely recall the RWD model was beating its 0-60 times by a lot and they slowed it down well after it was released.

Some people also predicted the performance version will get faster over time once Elon trusts the drivetrain can handle it.

Having an existing car change overnight while you are sleeping is very, very different from buying new vehicle.
