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

[SteveS1979]

How odd. What version are you on? Did you go into the car software settings and click advanced? If you have, go to where your car has a WiFi connection for a while, go back to standard and then back to advanced. For me the instant I clicked purchase my car rebooted for the upgrade. It was wild. Good luck

What version software is your 2020 running? Any build from 2019.40.2 will do

2019.35.106 I have had it on advanced the whole time. Will try switching to standard and back asap.

Yes give that a shot while connected to WiFi. I’ve forced new software downloads that way. Also you can go into your Tesla app and click service and then software. Explain the issue. I did it that way back in the day before the advanced button was around.

Please do post an update. Just got the text that my car will be built in the next 2 weeks, sure would be nice to know that this upgrade works on brand new cars.

I can stomach a $2000 update that brings the car closer to that of the performance, but the additional $6000 on top of that to get an actual performance is difficult to accept, especially since they don’t give you a break for not selecting the additional package with the wheels and track mode.

Service said to call back in a week if it still hasn't updated.

Not totally on topic, but I just dropped my car at the service center for some work and got a plain old S 70. This thing is slow!!!

Yesterday on a wet HOV onramp and a below 50% SoC. A little too much elevation at end to be valid but still a decent time with the wet starting conditions and lower SoC.

Will there also come a 0,5seconds acceleration boost for the Model3Performance? Would love it.

All evidence suggests the HW is not capable of reliably doing that

Just got the icon for update available... Should know tomorrow.

can anyone in here confirm that their 2020 model 3 was able to succesfully receive the boost upgrade?

I'll let you know tomorrow if mine works...

The boost upgrade is not a software download. Very shortly after you purchase it, go into your drive settings on the car and you will see "Chill and Sport" vs. your previous "Chill and Standard" options.

Not available with the software version on my Feb build 2020 model 3

not available even after all software updates?

It is embedded in ALL updates from 40.2 on. You were obviously on an older version. When you buy the update Tesla just flips the software switch and after a reboot you have it. Nothing is downloaded/installed on the car. In my case I was setting in my car and hit buy/Apple Pay on my iPhone and in less than 5 seconds my MCU reset. When it booted back up I had the update. So in effect it was nearly instant.

Still waiting for the update. Should get it tonight as I will be connected to WiFi.

Currently on 2019.35

Before connecting to WiFi you should have seen the little yellow download indicator. It should turn green when connected to WiF. You can hit Software and see the progress. You can also see the progress on your phone app.

All over it!

 

[SteveS1979]

Consider me boosted! It feels like there's just a little bit more urgency in the pull... Best $2k I've ever spent? No. But I definitely don't regret it. It's actually probably better I went a couple weeks unboosted.... Gave me a chance to start to get used to the old pull. Now I can get excited for the new sensation.

FYI your app screenshot shows your VIN and presumably your home address. You may want to delete it. Nice car name BTW!

Glad you got the boost. Agree it's not life changing, but it is fun
