Informal Model Y Acceleration Boost Comparison

Hardly any difference from what I see here. Is that how it feels? I.e. no difference?

This video comparison isn't a great representation. The difference is bigger as your speed increases. Above 45 MPH it's getting close to Performance levels of power. Initial acceleration is still limited compared to the Performance. The difference in the seat of your pants is significant.

Note that I'm still on the stock Continental tires.
Stickier tires will show off the difference better.
And that slight bend likely ate up some acceleration.
Also, the ambient temperature was considerably less
for the bottom run (October versus June for top run).
Lastly, there was likely some lifting near the end
of the videos, as speeds were approaching 90mph.

I welcome posting of more representative videos.
According to my back-of-the-envelope calculations,
there should be over two car-lengths difference
at the 60-mph mark between the two power levels.

The best way to show this is a baseline dyno run compared to one with Acceleration Boost. While we’re at it someone should also run chill mode.

Looks like Gjeebs did that:

(but not Chill Mode)
