"Acceleration Boost" option, discussion as to which models and how much quicker

Tesla is readying a new option, internally … - teslamotors - Reddit

Reddit post about an acceleration mode....

There are people corroborating the rumor via their account homepage. However, I can't see it on mine, since I already have FSD, so I don't have any "live"/official software updates available to me.

But.... $2,000 for this? Supposedly 10% improvement in 0-60 times (read the tweet thread).

Guys....now we're talking about P3D's that might be able to clear 2.75s 0-60.

That's Ludicrous (which they probably chose not to say.....so S and X can still have that)

Hmmmm, skeptical.

I really hope this is real, I will be in for sure as I have a LR AWD.

Tesla is readying a new option, internally called "Acceleration Boost“, costing $2,000 for Model 3.
We don‘t know yet in which form it will see the light of day. Stay tuned!

Upgrade to Stealth OTA?

 

[ModelNforNerd]

Update to Stealth OTA?

apparently it's for any of the dual motor variants. P, Stealth, and AWD

 

[MacGreiner]

Seems too low a price to convert AWD to Performance, so maybe something else?

I didnt read it that way. I read it as a upgrade for LR AWD model 3s to have "P" level acceleration. I think its MUCH more likely that AWD owners get the option to buy P, than ALL owners get to buy faster acceleration.

We are both guessing, though. /shrug

So does that take the place of ordering a stealth?

 

[T3SLAROD]

For $2k I’m in....

 

[Johnny Mac]

I’ll assume this won’t apply to rear wheel drive

That was my thought. Then you only need to order a red underline badge right? They did a soft launch with the Stealth orders and will now offer to all? It’s the same price, right?

Why?

The current price to get a P3D- is $2000 more than an AWD

My wife would kill me, but me too.

from electrek, who may also be guessing:

"Tesla accidentally leaked a new ‘Acceleration Boost’ upgrade planned for the Model 3 vehicles equipped with a dual-motor powertrain."

Most of the power is supplied by the rear motor, and since the rear motor is the same across all models it is a possibility.

 

[diamond.g]

Wonder if it shows for 990 AWD folk as well?

 

[huangm777]

The text shows up for me, a P3D- owner, and it’s unclear whether it was supposed to be hidden for people with my trim or whether it is an option everyone can buy. Especially if it’s $2k, which is exactly the premium over the LR AWD to get a stealth...
