Nice numbers - I added Boost on 7/1 and will post my CANbus data in the next day or two. I am running power figures before and after at 45% and 95% SOC.

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

So if motor trend tested it, for example, would they write that the 0-60 result was 3.51sec?

Yup.... so about .4 quicker than the car mags currently have tested the unboosted version
It is amazing how consistent these cars are. My last run was 3.78 vs. JulienW’s 3.77.
For those following along and on the fence....realize most of the gain from the boost is after 30mph. The car, to me, feels like a P that’s a little limited on the jump. The similar trap speeds show how strong it truly is.
And this was with the windows down too.. that extra drag kept me from a 3.493.50 is solid. Nearly at max slope down while still verified. Nice! My best is 3.69 with a .76% gain. Remember to take that tow hook out.

For anyone interested, here are my results for pre- and post-boost upgrade at ~45% and 90-95% SOC. I compared my car (Oct 2018 build with 18.9k miles) to Wugz before and after numbers. For each test, I was about 30-34 degrees Celsius for inverter and stator temps, as well as battery and coolant inlet temps. The data was recorded in TesLax and entered into the graph below.
The results - I was lower than his test car in all before and after tests (but within ~2% across the board) except the AWD+ rear motor max power figures. All-in-all, I'm happy with the noticeable increase in peak power, particularly full throttle pulls from 20mph+. As you can see, there's still a 19% delta in the AWD+ vs P cars.

So if I’m reading that right, my suspicion is confirmed the AWD+ makes more power at 45% SOC than the non boost does at 90-95%. I thought it felt very strong still when I was driving at 48-50% yesterday and was curious, this seems to prove it.

Updated numbers are below, I took the kids out this morning and apparently having them yell " 3-2-1-Go" netted me some better numbers (likely due to warmer battery and motors).
The difference in percentage terms for my AWD pre-boost vs the P model is as follows - Front (-52.1%), Rear (-16.2%), Total (-32.8%).
So the boost is only making the front motor work harder while the rear motor is doing about the same..
Then repeated accelerations should not contribute to increased Rear drive unit failures.

Yes - the front motor max power was increased by about 30kW but it’s still putting out about 30kW less than the P. The rear 980 motor on the P and older AWDs is capable of 265kW so this is 40kW less than that. For those with newer 990 rear motors I’m not sure what the max would be...
Absolutely. The rear motor power is actually reduced on the boosted program. There’s for sure more on the table. Maybe when they give the P3 Ludicrous, when S and X go plaid, our AWDs will reach current P levels.
