Is $879 for an extra 20 horsepower even worth it?
For ice cars If you are outside warranty you can just have your ECU remapped and gain much more hp.
I am guessing these remaps will eventually be available for electric motors too
I'm not sure about other EVs, but on the BMW iX, a lot of the computer stuff is encrypted now, and has to be signed with BMW's private key (i.e. they've actually implemented encryption correctly). Apps like Bimmercode don't work on it.
