Question about GT and GTP

[ccattie]

I couldn't find out, but does the GT and GTP have the same motors? Was the GT simply detuned or do they have a different drivetrain? If so, has Lucid ever hinted at purchasing an "unlock" to access that extra power? I don't think I'd get it (unless it was hella cheap) but more curious.

It is not purely a software change.

Thanks for that - was just curious. I know early on some things like DDP were in all cars, just locked away.

What’s a “hella”? Is that a new word that passed this boomer by? I do know the Greek word for Greece is “Hellas”.

I'm a Gen Xer - It is slang. As an adverb, it means very or extremely. As an adjective it means excellent or exceptional. It originated in 1970s California English. I think it rose to prominence in the mid 90s when Cartman used it a lot in an episode of South Park. In the early 2000s, the band No Doubt had a song called "Hella Good" which did very well.

Oh, I love that. Thank you!
