Performance software upgrade

[Cars90]

Hi!
Has anyone upgraded the car's performance software? If yes, is it worth the money? Does it feel like any big difference?

Yup, I upgraded the performance software on my Polestar, and it was definitely worth it. The throttle response feels quicker, and there’s a noticeable boost in acceleration. It’s not a massive change, but you can feel the difference, especially when merging or passing..

I don't quite understand this. How could a software upgrade boost the acceleration? I mean, it is software, not hardware. Is there something I am missing?
