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

[mchas]

Does the price include a service guy coming to install the little red underline below the badge? If not, this would create even stealthier stealths.

My account showing acceleration boost only with purchase of FSD. Both 2019 & 2020 cars.

I don’t think it says that at all. It just added the disclaimer to the fine print section.

Once it is for sale there will be another line item with actual details and a buy button.

 

[brkaus]

I have 3 cars in my profile. The 2 with fsd have no wording about power increase but the 3rd with no fsd that has the wording about a power increase. Maybe will be a carrot to buy fsd? A gift for us that bought fsd?

The two with FSD have no additional options available to purchase, so there is no need to display the purchase disclaimers.

Here we go.....

Yet another feature that increases the value of the car that you can get insurance on if its totaled.....or can you?


Does this option stay with the car when you sell it...or.....?

Lets hope for a Christmas present 14 or 30 day trial of acceleration mode! I am sure that would increase sales.

So wait....does this option make a regular dual motor into a performance one?

What will happen to the "already" performance versions?


This is toooooo confusing.

Actually makes an SR+ a lot more intriguing, if true. . .

You going have to wait for TESLA to release all details, not read bunch of guess answers on internet.

Good question. My guess is that if the car was totaled and it was my fault or no fault my insurance company would not cover upgrades or modifications. This would include things like paint correction and ceramic coating as well.

But if it were entirely the other driver's fault I would pursue them for the full cost to replace the car including all modifications, and I would likely be able to get the full amount from them. But it would be a long drawn out negotiation with threats of a lawsuit before they conceded.

It will make my Performance model less valuable apparently (rolling eyes)

I can see it now. Allstate is going to look at this upgrade like they look at my Unlimited Supercharging.

Although....maybe not - since this upgrade actually has a price tag to it.

I thought your issue was that Allstate couldn't quantify a value for FUSC. I assume this upgrade has a fixed price with a fixed deliverable item?

That's why I said:

Would be a great way for Tesla to sell some more fsd packages, include a 10% power increase with the package, since it doesn’t look like fsd in town will be released by the end of the year like Elon said it would be.

 

[arghx7]

so should I skip paying this month's rent or all my medical bills to afford the MOAR POWAH update???

 

[TomT]

Not worth $2K to me for a 10% improvement.

 

[prettig]

2K for what ?
Being faster than the rest...... we already are ! (M3P)
Way too much for something you will hardly ever use.

 

[MacGreiner]

I must be out of touch. The difference was much more when I bought my P3D-.

Appears not, AWD 4.4 to 3.9 according to the source code reported in another thread

That is probably closer to a 20-25% power upgrade since it is a 10% 0-60 upgrade (so .4 to .5s increase depending on model). The last 5% power upgrade increased 0-60 by ~0.1s
