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

[1.21GW]

We certainly need Dragy to confirm. I have Dragy and currently run 4.0s 0-60(1ft). I hope the update is a real improvement.

I’m just disappointed that it isn’t a full upgrade to Stealth.

Is this only for LR AWD cars?

 

[DekiTM3]

So does this confirm that LG RWD owners are not getting the boost upgrade?

So far it looks like it’s limited to LR AWD (non-P) Model 3s

 

[ducktales]

If they offer an update that cuts .5s off the 0-60 I'm buying. Even if it's several thousand dollars.

Sigh. Keep broadcasting that you want to spend more [edit] than 2k and maybe they'll do it. Too bad for the rest of us that would rather not spend more.

Then don’t spend the money? Spending 2K for an extra half a second is the definition of vanity. (not judging my vain bros and gals) No reason for tesla to give it away and increase the potential warrantee liability.

You missed my point. "Several" > 2k

Save your $2000. Not worth it in my opinion. It’s faster, but doesn’t feel that noticeable. Maybe someone with draggy can post before/after

When I got the free power boost on my MS75D a while ago it was very noticeable and a lot cheaper

 

[MikeTX]

People dismissing this as a minor performance boost will be surprised. This should be a very, very noticeable performance bump. Go drive!

I am very interested in how noticable it is.

 

[PACEMD]

Somebody needs to test this. It could be faster than forward.

I'm on it, should I use track mode?

There is precisely zero way it’s not that noticeable if it’s a flat 0.5 seconds faster. I went from an STI that consistently ran ~4.9 seconds to 60 to a Golf R that consistently ran 4.5 seconds to 60 and the difference was night and day.

I have a long range dual motor with FSD....earlier today I didn’t have the “upgrades” option in my Tesla account... just checked again and I do now...

 

[juanmedina]

So is the upgrade only for AWD or for the P3D also?

AWD only, as of this typing. Not saying that I expect anything for the P3D.

 

[spesler]

I can’t stop checking the car!!! Nothing yet. It must take a long time for the software to travel all the way to the east coast.

Be nice if we got an option for something.... I don’t expect it, though, sadly. Be a nice surprise, though, right?

Mine just did a long screen reboot. Go drive, you’ll notice

 

[PACEMD]

Not an option on my P3D- either. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I can live with a sub-3s 0-60, as non-ludicrous as that may sound........

 

[coleAK]

Just downloaded it. Stupid fast. I’ll bet gained >0.5 sec.

 

[TyH2009]

Tesla is going to make a lot of money in the next few days/week with this.
