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

[turok3000]

I hate to interrupt the debt conversation with trivial stuff but I dug this up in the source code on my upgrades page. I have a LR RWD. There are different versions of this statement. Will follow up with more in a moment.

FYI - this has been posted multiple times in this thread already.

Please do. That quoted text is clearly designed for the LR AWD.

This appears to be only for the LR AWD. There are no other versions of the text in the code with the exception of different languages and different units of measurement. If that's the case, $2000 for 4.4 to 3.9 seconds is underwhelming. Wasn't $2000 all Tesla was charging for the stealth P3D?

Hey, anyone know how much a $300,000 house with ludicrous mode cost?

Sign into your account. Select Manage. Select Upgrades.

Nope...I see nothing. Maybe because I already purchased everything.

I have a July 2018 P3D+ everything....

If you have FSD you won't see the upgrades page. If you don't have FSD and have the upgrades page but don't have a payment method on file you won't see the disclaimers on the bottom of the page.

So....how would I get the upgrade?

OR

will it be free? ( fingers crossed ).

With the potential power boost, we might need to come up with another acronym (P3D-, P3D+, AWD,...)

naw just do it like other cars.

Factory LR AWD
Upgrades:
-Accel Boost
-FSD
-Custom Wheels
-Etc

 

[CMoZ]

This is my point. When the same model car costs 15k less a year later. That directly impacts it's resale value for people who paid 15k more.

Which is why it would be wise for people losing out to consider buying other brands for their next purchase.

LOL other cars are not going to be better THAT's the point

Well if this new feature is purchased and stays with the car when you sell it....then it needs a different name.

I think you have to work that out with your insurance agent.........

 

[avalpert]

It essentially adds 250k to the cost of your next home. This is what you call more debt.

Um, that isn't what you call 'more debt' if you are trying to use the words in any way close to their literal meanings.

Presumably your page would then have an upgrade tab to purchase from

Insurance?

I want the update.

yeah, it doesn't though.

In 2018 it was $64,000 for a P3D- or $69,000 for a P3D+

And you were entitled to a $5000 refund from Tesla and a $7500 federal tax rebate.

Leaving net prices of... $51,500 for a P3D- and $56,500 for a P3D+

If you order today a P3D+ costs...$56,990.

And is missing about $500 in hardware your car came with.

In other words it's the same damn price as 2018


I know math isn't your thing, but $0 is less than $15,000.


For the P3D- assuming you can find one to take delivery of before Dec 31, that would be $50,990 minus an $1875 tax credit, so $49,115... or about $2000 less than 2018 including the HW differences.

Again, $2000 is less than $15000. A lot less.

And if you can't take delivery in the next 13 days the price goes up $1875 to, once again, be virtually identical with 2018.


MATH! TRY IT SOMETIME!


(Disclaimer- there's spots where pricing on colors changed like 900 times that might change the final net numbers for some folks- but it's be on the order of 1-2k, nowhere near the $15000 hysterics stuff[/B])

 

[VQTRVA]

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.

Is track mode equivalent to a limited slip diff?

True, but was joking about it for posts and signatures.

What?

It doesn't have an upgrade tab. That's the point.

Just messin' wid youse........

You want an update for a vehicle config you don't own that makes it slower than the one you DO own?

Weird.
