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

[Apprunner]

Well the M3P is not that much faster but is quite a bit more expensive and comes with wheels I don't want. SO it would also cost me 3k for new wheels plus I would have to try to sell the wheels it comes with. The LR AWD with the ingenext module is still $5,600 cheaper than the model 3 perf and comes with wheels I like and plan to keep. 0-60 in 3.7 is still a lot of fun and not that much slower than 3.1. IF they still offered a stealth performance model 3 I would have definitely gone for that.

from a performance perspective, 3.1s is way faster than 3.7s. It’s about 2-3 car lengths instantly from a dig which is quite a bit. Dropping 0.5s is hard to do once you are under 4s. I ran a P100D and it’s about 0.5s faster from a dig without Ludicrous on and it felt like the car murdered me easily. Pretty sure that’s what a Boost LR AWD would feel like

isn’t it 3.1 with rollout on performance vs 3.7 without and 3.5 with on a boost LR. So it’s really only about a 0.4s difference

Again, again, again there is 0% extra drain from Acceleration Boost if the cars are configured the same and driven the same.

You are comparing Coke and Pepsi or Apples and Oranges.

I agree that there should be no difference if they are configured and driven the same. Even if the extra 'boost' acceleration is used, the difference should be minimal because these are electric motors and not internal combustion engines. They don't become wildly inefficient at high power settings. At the end of the day, the kinetic energy change is exactly the same whether you are getting from 0-60 in 4.2 seconds or 3.7 seconds. There are undoubtedly SOME inefficiencies, but I'd wager its in the low-single-digit arena.

 

[momo3605]

Anyone know if 2021 LR with accel boost is actually 0.2 seconds faster than 2020? I’m looking at used model 3 LR AWD with accel boost on teslas site, and they still show 3.9s 0-60

bump! Anyone know?

Already asked and answered in another thread.

2021 Model 3 Acceleration Boost Videos?

tl:dr- no difference

I'm in the same camp. I'm going with LR AWD but would really, really, really prefer the stealth. Anyone know why they stopped offering it? Tesla, if you're listening, please offer a M3P with the ability to choose smaller wheels at a reduced cost. That would save many the hassle of having to sell the big wheels and tires.

That was my dilemma also. I got the LR AWD + boost and happy with it. I didn't want the 20's nor the hassle of changing the wheels myself.

Anyone know if the LR boost model 3 has similar 0-60 as MYP? Seems on paper they both do 3.5 with 1ft rollout. I’d be curious to see a drag race lol. Has anyone found any youtube videos of this?

Looks like it would be close between a 3AWD w/AB vs Y Performance. Here is a Dragy of a Y Performance 0-60 and my last 0-60.

That's incredible. I was looking for some of those comparisons. My cousin and I are going to take our cars to the track this summer to go head to head. He's got the MYP and I have the M3 w/boost.

I was looking up numbers for each, turns out even the quarter miles are almost identical as well. 11.9 at 116mph. I'm taking delivery of an Accel boost 3 in a few days, and i was worried it would not have that neck snapping acceleration of the Performance models, but i drove the MYP and I thought it was more than fast enough, i felt queasy after like 4 0-40 red light launches haha. I'm excited!

Hello All, I'm hoping to purchase the acceleration boost for my 2021model 3 long range (UK). The only option I've seen how to buy it,is via the Tesla app but I don't have the upgrade option. Can you buy it elsewhere?

So, I got my Boost 50 installed. That was kind of challenging, with the angles to get the harness attached to the MCU. Used a channel lock to hold it and get it to the right spot.

Anyway, it’s pretty sweet. I did 0-60 in 3.9, no rollout. That was at 50% SOC, and on an incline. So I guess that’s the same as when everyone quotes 3.7 with rollout. Whatever. Maybe it could do 3.7 without rollout if I had a higher SOC, and a flat surface. It literally made me nauseous. I will never need to accelerate that fast, but it’s fun to know I can, and know I can light up almost any car that pulls up beside me.

I have a 2018 AWD, so I could do the ghost, but honestly, why? This thing is nuts fast.

Playing with the other settings. I noticed that when you use the window button for the rear seat heaters, the on state is not reflected on the center display. So no way the know if on or off, or how high, unless you use the app.

I haven’t gotten the door unlock to be just right yet, but I’m zeroing in on it. The frunk and trunk open is cool, but I don’t have springs to lift it, so not terribly useful for me.

wiper cycling with the left stalk works too, but again, no UI feedback, so not terribly useful for me.

overall, a fun way to make your friends and family barf when you accelerate.

Its available on the tesla website as well, under 'upgrades' for your car.

oh definitely should be quicker at higher SOC. There’s a decent amount of power loss at 50%. Try again above 70%! I think you’ll see a substantial improvement

Jan, SoC 85% and little slower but was slightly uphill.

Something went wrong with my last attempt with boosted LR AWD:
1) times are very similar to P3D (!)
2) it's INVALID by Dragy but incline is not the reason:

Probably a GPS reading or calculation error that caused it to read the wrong time/speed/distance.

BTW G's graph, partial times 0-10 0-20 0-30.....0-60 seems corect, distance(ft) correct too.
There are no graph spikes, and 1ft time seems correct too.

Obviously it is wrong since the AWD w/AB can't do that. Also how many times have you repeated it and got that time as Valid? Post a Valid time and I bet it will be >3.6S 0-60.
