If @Urbancowboy 's refund is a smooth process, then this will be a great way for more people to try and decide. Although if others have his same first impression about the Boost, then there may not be very many refunds.
Thanks Urbancowboy for doing this and sharing your experience.
I hope you have the opportunity to experience the full boost on dry roads, warm batteries and higher SoC... before asking for the refund. That way you'll have a true test when you go without.Quick update. I bought it
First of all, I don't know who in the world says they "butt purchased" an upgrade. You tap buy, then another webkit page loads where you hit buy again, and then you get the Apple Pay UI that requires me to tap the side button on my phone twice and auth with Face ID. It's impossible to accidentally purchase this.
To confirm, there is a refund option in the upgrade section of the app within the 'purchased' tab. It says you have 48 hours, and tapping it opens a simple form where you choose why and submit.
I went driving for a while tonight, and despite some rain and wet streets (and starting at only 70% SoC) I can say it is MUCH quicker. Pretty impressed so far. Looking forward to the weekend.
My strategy is to request a refund even if I'm completely sold to see how much I miss it after having it for a couple of days. That seems like a pretty good value test to me. If I can't get it out of my head, one tap and it's back. What a time to be alive... I figure it also can’t hurt to provide additional comments in the return form saying I want closer to P speeds and/or track mode.

So how do you like it so far after driving boosted car for couple days? Not worth the $2k like I mentioned but better than nothing if you have the money. It’s as you said more violent but not the “feeling” you would get with a performance.
It’s very noticeable, and I think it is the same “feeling” you get with a performance from a roll. The DragTimes video highlighted this pretty well.
