Let us know what you find buddy ;-) I hadn't heard of the secondary limit, but also very few people will take the car all the way up!

I can't beleive the T8, above 140kmh maximum speed of the ERAD, can get to 293kmh only on the ICE!

Yes, but above 250 kph is perfectly possible. Mainly on models before 180 kph limit. The 293 kph car have a removal by Heico. Apparently now they stop at 250-260 kph. Even Heico only garantee 250 kph vmax now.
Apparently the new cars (limit 180 kph) have some more secrets to discover.
I will keep trying.
Thank you very much for your work!

Here's how it works: There are a couple of 2021 cars that do have a 180 kph limit but are still the "old" model with Sensus and 11 kWh battery (45 km electric range). If you take the limit off, this car will go up to 250 kph. This is because the ERAD is disconnected after 140 kph.

The new long range cars can not do this because ERAD is not disconnected. 180 kph is a safe speed where the ERAD is not overheating. As soon as you go faster than 230 kph the car will go into limb mode and force you to stop. This is not an error, the ERAD is getting too hot and needs to cool down. I have seen this twice now with a MY2024 car. After waiting 30 minutes, the car restarts and all errors are cleared. So keep it under 230 kph and you're good. If you do not do this, add 30 minutes cool off to your trip.

Interesting. How can a person tell what ERAD they have? I'm an early 22, so I have the small battery. There is a sticker on it that says ERAD2. Kind of makes me assume the later non disconnect one?
