Thread 'Faster Chip Available for Retrofitting in the Air?'

Kyle Conner put up a video two hours ago in which he is testing the newest Air Grand Touring. He said it has a new chip which is much "snappier" than in older versions of the Air . . . and that it is available for installation by a Service Center. Has anyone else heard about this?

Or is this just an erroneous rehash of the misinformation about retrofitting a newer CPU into older cars?

SPOILER ALERT:
I had the live feed on. Totally amazing! He got 510 at a steady 70mph which is insane given EPA 5 cycle is slower speed. But then it kept going! It’s a total zombie car, didn’t die until 525.7 miles! Hopefully this subdues the whiners who complain about range.
 
That’s insane range. Gives me some comfort when I’ve been coming in hot at 1-2% on some road trips on my GT.

Yea but it can't do 600 miles what a POS.
 
It was amusing on the comments how early on in the test there were lots of Stans saying long range model 3 had better efficiency. They were all silent by the end. What was great though was there were many other EV owners including Taycan and EQS and they were all cheering on the Lucid. It’s pretty crazy how the car 3 years on still can’t be bested when it comes to range.

EQS owner here, and cheering wholeheartedly and unreservedly. Pretty sure MoniputerLM is the same.
Of course, with ulterior motive :)

The GT has been further developed and improved during that time, which is a good thing :)
 
I am surprised this hasn't been posted yet! Amazing performance from the new GT. Amazing.

You could also see under Trip A what you should expect as normal driving efficiency 3.7. This correlates closely with current cars as well.
