Acceleration Boost Not Available on 2024 Models?

[KMC_307]

It really depends on where you are in the world and your lease arrangement. I’m in Australia and lease my car. As far as Tesla is concerned the car is mine… the lease company just paid for it. I can purchase the upgrade if I want.

So I would say it’s probably different all over the world, and maybe even depend on the type of lease you have.

True, apparently a leased car is not the same everywhere in the world. N some countries it’s more like a rental, some others refer to a loan (where the bank technically only gives you the money and you buy it yourself) as a lease.

They could also explain it that this feature will cause more tyre wear.

Only if you stomp on it all the time. But you will go through tires fast doing that with any Tesla without the Acceleration Boost. I had my 2018 Long Range Model 3 with the Acceleration Boost almost 5 years and the tires were fine. The biggest factor is tire pressure and how you drive.

I agree, but leasing company isn’t gonna take my word for that

I just returned my model 3 from lease. 70k driven and still on the original tyres. (Did had winter and summer set of tyres)

I found this post on Reddit.
Looks like not all MY LR can get the acceleration boost, and Tesla explained it to this owner by saying the battery he has is at fault.
Has anybody else heard about this?
This is the kind of thing that can really upset some owners, I can sure see that.

Hey all, I am thinking of downgrading my Model Y Performance to Model Y Long Range and being able to get acceleration boost using Tesla credit is a deciding factor for me. Is the option to use Tesla points still an option for 2024 MYLR? Thank you in advance!

I merged your new thread into this one as this thread has a discussion on the topic you were asking about. Doesnt look like its available at all on all versions of this vehicle, whether credits or with cash.

thank you for merging. I couldn't reply to this thread initially. Really? it's not available at all? Is this just on the 2024 model Y? I have asked a few of my friends and they have the acceleration boost available on 2023 MYLR

I dont have a 2024 model Y so I dont know myself. The feedback is in this thread, however. I wouldnt buy one expecting to be able to get acceleration boost. You should probably keep the car you have or decide if you can do without.

I have a March 2024 MYLR with acceleration boost bought with referral credits, so availability is definitely not a model year thing.

We have a 23 MYLR. I noticed last week that the option was missing, but it has reappeared since then. I'm thinking I should get it sooner rather than later, just in case they decide to eliminate it for good at some point.

I just purchased a 2024 MYLR AWD 7 seater and I don't have the option to purchase the Acceleration Boost (AB). I called Tesla twice and they said my car doesn't qualify for the AB due to the type of battery that I have. They mentioned that I have a BT48 battery and the cars that have the battery BT37, BT38, BT42, and BT43 qualifies for AB. What that all means, I have no idea. They also said there's nothing guaranteed that the BT48 battery equipped cars will get the option for AB. I talked with sales manager I dealt with at the dealership and he will be talking with his master tech and will let me know if there are other options. Is your car's origin, Fremont? Mine is.

I purchased a 2023 MYLR AWD in January 2024. Acceleration Boost was an option in the Tesla App at the time. Recently I subscribed to FSD, and was going to purchase AB, but AB was gone and is still not there. If it appears again I will buy it, but it seems like that option has been eliminated.

Interesting. Is your MYLR a 7 seater?

No. 5 seats.

AB is available for all Model Y Long Range trim. All years. Not available for other Model Y trims anymore.

If you already own a Model Y Long Range, make sure you have the car added to your Tesla app. In the Tesla app, scroll down and select “Upgrades”. Then click on “Software Upgrades”. A screen will open with two tabs. Select the second tab that says “Buy”. You’ll see the Acceleration Boost offered here for purchase. It’s $2000 if buying with money.

There are people in this very thread trying to purchase it as we speak that can’t do so
and are getting told different things by Tesla themselves.

Do you work for Tesla? What is the source of your absolutist and claimed factual decree on this matter?

Bingo! Thank you. You ate absolutely correct.

I have a March 2024 Austin built MYLR. Purchased AB using referral points within 24 hours of taking delivery. It's a fun, nice addition. Definitely wouldn't spend $2k on it though.
