Acceleration Boost Not Available (Aus)

[Jonnywallace]

Just picked up my Model 3 Long Range, and took it straight to the shop to get the rims powder coated, callipers painted and chrome delete, (tinting done next week) and I’ve noticed that Acceleration Boost is not available in software upgrades in the App or on PC browser. Is it no longer available?

Is your car a 2022?

 

[Jonnywallace]

No it’s 2021, oddly the option just does not appear?

I thought 2021 models came without chrome and had Uberturbine wheels?? Yours looks like a 2020 model to me...so you bought this brand new from Tesla? Re the boost you must ensure your car is running 2019.40.2 as a minimum although I am sure you would have an update later than that! Something just seems odd if your car IS a 2021 and yet you had to do a chrome delete???

 

[Jonnywallace]

Thanks for that - I should have clarified, only did chrome delete on the badges Yeah it’s odd, I’m running the 2021.40.6 update but it is not appearing. The TAC has not yet finished calibrating, so thinking maybe it’s that? I’ve only done 25k’s so far

Dumb question but is your phone paired as a key and are you signed into the same email address as was used to reserve and buy the vehicle? Someone else had this problem and found the option as soon As he signed into the right account.

 

[Jonnywallace]

Thanks Spuzzz, I just checked that but yeah it’s the right account and my phone is paired. Just logged and and out to check though, but will not showing?

Are you sure it is available in Oz?

with all that money you spent, why didnt you just get the performance?

Although I would love the performance:
1) Insurance cost
2) Stamp duty rebate on EV’s below 78k
3) I’ve spend nowhere near the 12k difference between the long range and the performance

The guy at the dealership told me it was, but perhaps it’s not

We are talking about this very thing at the end of this thread over on the Australian section of the forum.
AB is certainly available in Australia. My 2021 LR has the option available for me to purchase. The issue is that the very latest LR cars coming out of China have a different battery chemistry than normal and Tesla haven’t yet optimised the new batteries for the sort of quick drain AB puts on them. One bloke got a reply from Tesla saying that as soon as they sort that out AB will be available as an option for the effected cars.

What does the LR Acceleration Boost cost in Australia?

I assume that is tongue-in-cheek, since you have the Amnesty International logo as your avatar. There’s an easy solution to that… don’t exceed the speed limit. Works for me. Maybe we could start a massive civil obedience campaign and starve the Government of this revenue? That’d really...

Awesome thanks mate, much appreciated! Very interesting, this information is not readily available

I have the '21 M3 LR and it's always been available to me as an upgrade option. Both on my tesla account and now more recently with the software update on the app.
