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

[WilliamG]

Well this is all interesting. I’d be amazed if this update is meant only for the LR AWD to P update. Way too cheap (and is the actual price between the LR AWD and 3P-).

I would *hope* this is a model-specific upgrade with each version getting its own performance update. There’s no doubt these cars are held back (especially the 3P models which really are slow for the first second off the line before all hell breaks loose).

Guess we’ll see!

I concur!

Is this visibility only for people who already got their VINs assigned?....because I havent

the source code (that shows 2k price for example) is visible to anyone

the one-line disclaimer mentioning the SW version needed for "acceleration" upgrade is only visible to existing owners (delivered car) that does not have FSD- because it only appears on the "buy FSD" page.

Ah ok makes sense. Thanks for the clarification!

I have a 2018 MS 75D and I have the same verbiage in my account. It may be showing up unintentionally for everyone but will most likely only be made available to those who would benefit from it. I doubt my 75D will be as performant as a performance model.

I hope this is a full AWD to P3D stealth upgrade that includes track mode. I'd pay $2k for that but probably not for just the acceleration boost.

For AWD owners wanting a P3D-

Code snippets indicate that it's a 0.5 second 0-60 upgrade, not a full AWD to P3D- upgrade.

I'd pay that for some type of "Track Mode" for the RWD.

Shows in my account and I have an SR+


Won't buy it if it's not a considerable second or so increase lol

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?

No some of us paid 10k more for this upgrade, although some were refunded $5k back. Still it was never a 2k upgrade for most people. I hope it's something else.

If it is in fact AWD to performance for 2k it will seriously hinder my decision of whether or not I want to buy another tesla. Probably cancel my truck order too.

Although perhaps the value of my car is already degraded since there were a few P3D stealths sold at low prices. It means I would owe more for my current car than it would cost to buy a new improved one after a year of payments.

They already sell the Stealth Peformance for only $2k more than the AWD (when they have them in stock...).

I know it really sucks for those of us that fell for the demand levers. I feel bad about what they did for people who fell for the buy FSD now or pay more later, only to give it away at a lower price later too.

Would be totally hosed on my purchase, paying more for white paint too. I would for sure have just purchased an AWD back in the day if they release this now.

I have a Long Range Dual Motor (non Performance, EAP, no FSD) and I see the Acceleration Boost for $0.

I paid the same for my non-P 3D as I could have got a stealth now. Granted the tax credit is way less now, and almost gone. Anyway, that's how tech works. Early pay more so everyone else can pay less. I don't know why everyone has to complain about it.

If you don't like how tech pricing works, I would defiantly recommend canceling your truck order. The same will happen with that.

No upgrades option when I click manage on my car. Also none if I click on View Details there. No idea where people are seeing this.
