I don't see how 130mph isn't fast enough.
For 100K+$ and nearly 1000 hp? No, not fast enough but I could live w 130mph.
But 112 mph with 600 hp at 80K$? No thanks. Iā€™d prefer to have the MS and use my MY for camping/service calls.

I mean, all this acceleration and then Donk after just 7 or 8 seconds? Iā€™d rather they give us the plaid motor. But I get it if you want a work truck or donā€™t speed. . Not everyone has that NEED FOR SPEED.

The only time I've been north of 100MPH is on a track. Top speed is not a high-priority feature for me.

Seems like a reasonable question if youā€™re gonna have a 2.6 second 0 to 60 845 something horsepower super truck.

As been said itā€™s tires tires tires rating
If you could override the software, the thing will probably do one 160+ of course tire failure at that speed will not be pretty
So more dragstrip less Autobahn

My TRX limit hits at 118. Though a little bit of a letdown the few times Iā€™ve hit it probably a good thing itā€™s there.

Unsure why going over 110mph or 130mph is a priority for you, but to each their own.

Do you live near the Autobahn? Do you live in an area in which cops don't give speeding tickets? Maybe a sports car is what you are looking for? You have several options to pick from between $80 and $100K.

It is physically limited not software

Man. I wonder why vehicles look different. Itā€™s like they are designed a particular way for a particular task or something. Man, I sure feel like going fast so much, all the time, Iā€™ll just use my SF90 to pull my 18 ft trailer up to Tahoe for the weekend, will sure get there lickety-split and pass people in the passing lanes the whole way there.

As been said incorrectly

the software limit is there to keep these motors from spinning into oblivion

but donā€™t tell too many people, because I do still want one of yā€™all to learn this the hard way on video for us to watch

I have had the model Y at 159 mph, nailed at 158 mph for quite a while in Oklahoma, then I knew I hit the holy grail of Y performance.
bold move on oem suspension - not the most stable at high speed (unless glass smooth and straight). I have KW coil overs on mine, just for that reason!
