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

[Mrcarcrazy]

I came here to say “if you’re asking the question, the answer is yes”. Haha

Maybe this is a dumb question but how exactly do you do a rollout?

You don't "do" a rollout--- including rollout or not is a difference in how you measure.

Lots more on it here

We're Making a Slight Change to Our Acceleration-Testing Procedure

Our results will now include the industry standard 1-foot rollout before the clock starts on acceleration runs.

the timing device starts after the first 1 foot (12inches).

Basically you get a running (rolling) start before the timer begins.

Another way to look at this. The non-performance models are ~0.2 seconds faster than the specs indicate.

Most 0-60 specs subtract the time it takes to travel the first foot. Sometimes this is oddly worded "with rollout" meaning "without the rollout time included."

I suspect the non-performance Teslas include the rollout time to make the delta between them and their performance versions seem larger.

For the MY:
AWD: Real 0-60: 4.8 (spec:4.8)
AB: Real 0-60: 4.2 (spec: 4.2)
Perf: Real 0-60: 3.7 (spec: 3.5)

I mean, yes - absolutely that’s why they do it.

Now that the shrunk the gap between the performance and LR, it really isn't worth going with boost. If were in the market new, I'd go with the MYP over the MYLR w/boost and sell the heavy wheels and buy something better.

 

[MY-Y]

I'd likely do the same.
