Acceleration Boost 2022 (UK)

[JOIIESY]

Hi guys. I'm currently in the market to purchase a Model 3 in the next couple months to replace my ICE. Currently coming from an RS3 8V FL so I'm ideally wanting to keep the performance.

I did have my decision set in stone for a LR then purchasing the performance boost for £1500. However, I've heard it's no longer available on the refreshed 2022 model with the larger capacity batteries. Is that correct?

I'm also looking to get the car on lease, which I believe you can't get it anyway through lease (even if was available), unless the lease company agrees to purchase it through them. Just trying to think whether I go for the LR and hope it becomes available to the refreshed 2022 model, or make the stretch for the performance model.

The lack of AB and some uncertainty about how Tesla manages FSD at trade in is almost all that's keeping me from handing in my 2019 P3D-

The difference after trade in is about £2.5k or £4k with AB.

It is no surprise that some LR owners consider the good value acceleration boost option ... it's also no surprise that potential buyers who are uncertain about going Performance or LR look to save money by going the LR/AB route ... but surely Tesla will realise that they are losing sales of the more expensive vehicle. For all we know this may be a factor in the non-availability of acceleration boost. It would be a good idea to make absolutely certain this going to be available again before committing to a purchase, if this is your plan.

It's menetioned on the other thread that soneone got a reply from Tesla saying the AB will be available once they are finished testing with the new battery.

A Tesla demonstrator at Those Park told me that the AB is available on the LR anytime after taking delivery as long as the vehicle is not on a lease.

Unfortunately many people working for Tesla don't know what they are talking about and/or Tesla don't keep their staff informed. What he said was correct for the LR up until around 4 weeks ago - any new ones with the higher capacity battery don't have the ability to purchase AB at the moment.

Yep classic Tesla, many answers and a guessing game as to who is right, best bet is the information on the forum.

You can still purchase AB on a lease (mine is leased). Just have to do it through a service centre and not via the app.

I may purchase the AB at somepoint in the future, what's the deal in buying this if it's a car directly leased from Tesla? I do have the option in the app to do it so just wondering do i need to go to the service centre instead?

I've got the new LG battery pack and Acceleration Boost is now available to buy within the Teals App . It wasn't there a few days ago.

Yup, me too. I have the E5LD variant of the M3LR. AB wasn't available for purchase in the app when I received that car. Is now available for £1,500.

That’s great news, thank you for updating thread.

Phewww...I was about to "pull the plug" on my LR.

 

[Daveybabs]

sorry but you put in 20 kwh and the battery is 80kwh - kw is the charging rate - kwh is the stored energy



....pedant hat off... ;-)

Hi Mr H, sorry to hijack this thread, I'm trying to message you direct but unable too, (think because I haven't posted enough) I'm looking for someone to install a power frunk on my model 3 lr MIC 2021 model. I have the EV offer variant C pack in hand. I'm based in Lanashire (Clitheroe) is this something you still do? Again apologies for reaching out this way, just didn't know how else to get in touch, cheers Dave.

I would also be interested in this mod.
I'm based in North Shropshire, if that's not too far away to consider.

Just following up for any viewers of this thread: Acceleration Boost is confirmed to be immediately available for the 2022 LR vehicles.

I was planning on getting it immediately before I collected the car, but I must say I find it insanely fast already - much more than I expected or anticipated from YouTube clips. It's great to know though that if the wow factor ever wears off down the line, you can restore the sensation with this upgrade.

as per description - AB would reduce 0-60 from 4.4s to 3.9s

 

[Nick77]

I thought it was 4.2 to 3.7.

Performance model being 3.2.

 

[MrT3]

Correct. 4.4 seconds is the 0-62 mph time (100 km/h)

It's not a like for like comparison, as the P at 3.2 includes roll out, where the LR doesn't.

Reality it's neck and neck, tested a few times, nothing noticeable in it.

Thought I would add my 2p worth to this thread.

I have installed this on my car and it's a tricky one to either recommend or not.

Personally I have always noticed a slight hesitancy on accelerating from a stop on the LR, it always felt like there was just a miniscule delay before anything happened and its always irritated me and to my mind it felt like it was there by design to put a bit of distance between the LR and performance. I'm happy to report that (for me) AB seems to have addressed that. Like most reviews it seems to have addressed the 0-30, which I guess concurs with my original gut feeling.

Do you notice the difference? Its subjective but to me yes for the reasons above.

Is it worth it? argubably not due to
a) cost
b) complicates insurance a little more,
c) you only make use of the benefit from a standstill mashing the throttle
d) even more complaints from the wife about making her feel sick

But I'm going to keep it, I need the bragging rights
