If they were smart, they could have set the test conditions to the SAE standard conditions so the correction factor would be 1.0. But who knows what they did?

what I REALLY want to see is actual Torque curve at the wheels vs 'ground speed', unadjusted, for all the different Trims, AWD/RWD, SR/ER battery combinations.
The reason being that the Trim levels could well have different default settings on the Inverter Controllers managing the actual output ALLOWED thru the motor(s), and of course the AWD/RWD motor settings, and the voltage & capacity differences in the SR /ER batteries..... One thing I am super interested in is if the extra voltage availabe with ER battery adds enough torque to make up for the added weight in acceleration, or not.
As far as future 'tuning'.... it will probably be software hacks into the controller to allow higher current at the expense of battery life. Totally removing any Warranty on inverter, motor, and batteries, just like any race modification to ICE motor would negate factory engine warranty.
The only other mods that will be performance oriented with be those that reduce weight.... starting with light wheels, then going after all the excess 'comfort and appearance' weight of panels, cameras, heavy stock seats, etc.
