Request: Increased Top Speed update for Gen 1

[Wilsonos]

I see the new Quad motor looks like it has a higher top speed. Couple videos at the drag strip see it hitting 129. Wonder if Rivian will increase the top speed of the Gen 1 if you order the high performance 22" wheel and tire package. I know it would require a software update, Telsa does it with the Plaid. Could be a nice extra for us Gen 1 owners to let us know they haven't forgotten us.

From what I read in articles it was for short amounts of time in launch mode that the limit was raised to 130. One article specifically stated this was to address the quarter-mile time where it hits the limiter. I know our Bosch quads are capable of similar, but were never unlocked due to tire ratings. I doubt we will get this since they can’t ensure safety, but it would be cool

I'd be happy if they bumped it up just enough to beat the CT in the 1/4!

I think I'd rather see Rivian spending their time/money in different areas, like improving Highway Assist/Driver+.

I'm sure it's just a few lines of code... but there is a lot more involved than just that aspect.
