That was a issue with the Model S, not with the P3D. I suspect that when they switch over the S to the new style batteries, it goes away.

But by switching over to the Model 3 powertrain, Tesla will lose their 0-60 crown. The 3 might have better cooling motors, batteries, and efficiency, but the S launches faster despite being much heavier.

So Tesla gets to pick whether they want a Model S that doesn't overheat, or a Model S that's slower to 60 than a Taycan.
