I wonder if it’s just for Performance Edition owners?

I got the invite but boy is it sketchy. I only have a GT so not limited to GT PE owners. Using some scheduling aid called SignUpGenius but why send me advertising in the confirmation email?

then you click on the link in the confirmation email they were exposing fullnames in the schedule but looks like they fixed that faux pas and now show just the first name and last inital:

Yeah, initially I thought it was a scam. Checked the email address and looked a little more into it. I just want to lay into them about the 5 sec bs.

And then you have 59 minutes of other insight to offer, I hope you aren't disappointed . I'll guess that it is a contracted market survey firm with a fixed list of questions for future vehicles they would like your opinion.

I am of the opinion the 5 second burst/turbo mode is here to stay and I am ok with that since the GT is my wife's car and she is very happy with the Mach-E. As for me, Rivian delivered me an 835hp R1S so I am no longer bound by the 5 second rule or staying on paved roads.

Don't think that's what it's about but we shall see.
Brother has a rivian. You should be mad it loses to every single drag race to a tesla performance 3 in real world. Not quite as advertised either.

Make sure to be specific.

The issue isn’t just the “5 seconds,” it’s…….

-how dramatic the power reduction is. Other manufacturers lose 70 hp off boost, we lose around 150 hp.

-how they hide the details of the limit and droppoff

-how you only get 5 seconds from a stop and zero seconds above 72 mph

-how dramatic the power reduction is from cold weather, repeated throttle attempts, low charge, speed above 72 and the many other things they reduce power for.

But tell them we like the handling and braking, both of which are superb, but are completely overshadowed by the embarrassing power limitations.

The M3P win is no surprise given the weight and drag coefficient differences. I owned the Tesla before the Mach-E and R1S so I know very well how each compares and the advantages/disadvantages of each.

They fixed it because I immediately saw that and said something. I would also say that you posting that screen shot isn't the brightest idea as some of those names are from people on this forum.

And yes, GT and GTPE owners were invited, which is a bit head scratching given the topic is supposedly about the Performance features.

Probably about “performance” in the generic meaning of the word, not “performance edition.”

I got it and signed up. Thats me at 11 am on Friday. I was one of the first so I never saw any other names being exposed. Not thrilled that mine was.

I've done this one other time regarding the Ford Streaming update. I can assure you its legit and they do send you the gift card at the end.
