    I don't think the test motors are installed on production models. They're run only in test environments. All kinds of other data is pulled down from them as well. On that note however, as the OP indicates he runs the sh$#% out of his so where does that leave the next guy when/if he sells it? Buyer beware I guess.

    Correct. They test the motors, then they throw them away.
