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

[CDennis100]

For me I simply wanted 0-60 times in the 3s rather than 4s. I now smile every time I hit the “gas pedal”…errrrr…ummmm….accelerator.

Anyone with a Acceleration Boost 2020 M3 LR AWD notice a delay in getting firmware updates lately? I am currently 73 days from my last update and about 13 builds behind what other M3s have seen in Australia. Tesla tell me there are no updates for my VIN. I suspect I am just the current Patsy to sit on an old reference firmware for while. But it did occur to me that having acceleration boost makes my car a bit if a unicorn. So I thought I'd ask here so I can rule out having Acceleration Boost as a cause of the delay in updates. (Yes I have done all the other things to encourage my car to update & it has averaged 19 days between its 30 updates in the past two years.)

I haven't noticed any delays with updates lately. Might be a country specific issue? I'd call them.

I’m getting updates fairly regularly with the boost.

Thanks Fellas. Seems its not the boost causing my delayed updates then which is good. Just how the cookie crumbles. Will sit back and wait.

Did quite some search here on this forum and elsewhere but could not find any definitive information about HP and torque numbers for the M3LR with and without acceleration boost ($2K upgrade option).

So without acceleration boost, I think the consensus on these numbers for the M3LR is as follows:

346 HP
389 lb-ft torque

I could not find any definitive numbers by how much the acceleration boost improves these numbers but read somewhere that it adds about 50HP. Could not find any torque improvement numbers though. Do you have any pointers on this? Thanks.

I have somewhat relied on this:

There is also this: Tesla Model 3 - Wikipedia

Thanks, I saw that but could not locate any numbers when the LR is upgraded with the acceleration boost.

Pretty sure I've posted this multiple times already in this very thread.

Thanks, did not see this before. Here is a noob question: Are the numbers on Wikipedia and on some car sites way off? I see there that the hp for the M3LR is listed as 346 and M3P as 450

(moderator note)

To be fair to @t.e.s.l.a_dude , they did not post in this thread originally. They started a new thread, and I moved their new thread into this one since it was on the acceleration boost. They may not have seen this thread since I "unstickied" it a month or two ago, since the AB has been out for long enough already that I didnt think we needed a sticky post on it any longer.

Thanks for re posting that info.

The data in my sheet is from CANBUS measurement of the power going to the motors WUGZ posted on various Reddit threads (I believe he's done a number of these, so he might have some results single-digit HP different from the ones I used, but should be close enough)


EDIT- actually looking at the post 3 above mine- in that one he lists some #s, indeed 2 of mine are exactly the same (base and 2nd 5% boost), 1 is 2hp different (1st 5% boost), 1 is 5 hp different (AB)

Still waiting if Black Friday/holiday sale on "Acceleration Boost"

In my case I will take delivery of the car in 2022 So it will be a while until my acceleration gets boosted...

Are you one of those folks that has been waiting since last year when they didn't offer one then either?

 

[RyanS9500]

Paid $2000 for Acceleration Boost and although it was probably more money than I should have been spending it does kick a bit harder and I love it

 

[Snowball316]

yup

 

[jkeyser14]

If Tesla offered a discount on Black Friday then I would probably not be able to resist buying it. I really don't need it though and thus far have convinced myself to keep my wallet closed.

 

[t.e.s.l.a_dude]

I am convinced in getting it once I get the car, though convincing my wife will be very very hard for the extra $2K
