Bought a P90DL from Tesla that does not have Ludicrous Mode

Yeap.
Tesla strips FSD from new/used inventory and Ludicrous from P90D"L" to sell as P90D in order to sell faster by lowering $.

Is Ludicrous Mode written on order agreement as a separate line in addition to Performance Package?
Or just indicate the model name is P90DL?

This is incorrect info. The L’s are more money and clearly denoted differently and posting 3 second 0-60 times
 
no - no badging - I asked about that when I saw the car. The display has “signature”.

From what I’ve read - they used to be able to upgrade these cars but they stopped offering that as a service. I certainly wouldn’t pay for it now but somewhere along the lines they started to advertise this car as Ludicrous. To me, that’s on them and they should make an exception and do the upgrade or buy it back completely (including sales tax, etc). Might have to get my lawyer involved but did not want to go down that path. I’ll update when I finally get a hold of Tesla.
I am not an Attorney, but I think that this would fall into True in Advertising Laws, Truth In Advertising.

When I was a young kid in the mid 60's we would race Slot Cars, think home electric model cars on steroids. The Tracks probably averaged 75 to 100 ft. A local store had a number of cars miss priced, in those days there way a price sticker from the store on the box. We scooped them up. They were not happy, but they had to honor the price...
 
If the OP bought a car with Ludicrous mode, he would know it because the cost of the car would be significantly higher than the cost of a car without Ludicrous mode. And the 0-60 time should be around 2.8 seconds. This is unmistakable when reviewing the car on the website. Second, the sales agreement specifically says "Ludicrous Mode" on it on a separate line. If you didn't pay significantly more for your car than for a MX 90D and/or you didn't get the separate line entry that states you have Ludicrous on your sales agreement, then you aren't guaranteed to have Ludicrous. I did pay significantly more, I did get the separate line item, and I do have Ludicrous and Ludicrous(+) on my car. Why Tesla would advertise the car is a P90DL when it's not a P90DL is a mistake on their part, but I don't know if you have legal recourse if you don't have the separate line item on your sales agreement or if you didn't pay significantly more for the car.
