Acceleration Boost option for Model Y available?

[computerchuck]

Would like all non-performance, long range Model Y owners to chime in here.

Anyone have the option to purchase the $2000 Acceleration Boost upgrade?

I would really like to buy this when I receive mine.

I doubt they will do it as they've done away with it on the Model 3 on their website (I'm not sure about previous AWD non-performance owners). If you order from the Tesla website now you get a performance version and you can opt for the performance package which is no extra cost. It wouldn't make any sense for them to sell a long range AWD and then a cheap performance boost as that's almost the same thing as getting a stealth (or performance version without performance package) M3/MY. Maybe there might be an acceleration boost option that gets slightly better 0-60 but it wouldn't be anywhere near performance 0-60s.

Yes, just as being offered as in-app purchase to M3 (LR) AWD owners.It improves 0-60 by 0.4 seconds if I remember correctly.

I don’t need it, I have a sports car that scratches that itch, and it’s not my car. My lead foot wife, whose car it is, definitely wants it and will scare the hell out of me with it!

Thanks. I wasn't sure off the top of my head how much it improved 0-60 and/or whether or not it got close to P3D acceleration. I just looked it up and it improved times by .5 seconds from 4.4 to 3.9. That's a steal in my opinion. IF it came to the Model Y, and I don't think it will, it would probably be from 4.8 to 4.4 second 0-60 would be my guess as a PYD is 3.5.

IMO, I think Tesla will likely release a boost option for non P for the Model Y and Ludacris mode for all P models. Tesla is money hungry and people will buy it.

I'm ready for it.

How’d you get 5% back? PayPal?

Discover does quarterly bonuses ... so Paypal is on the list till 9/30. So, I used Paypal Key for a virtual credit card and linked that to the Discover card. Then add the virtual number to your Tesla account.

For those of you with experience owning a 3, do you know if the Acceleration Boost is a permanently available upgrade or is limited time?

I take delivery this upcoming week and want to drive it for a little bit (a month or so) before buying it so I can appreciate it or come to the conclusion that 4.8s 0-60 is good enough. If I didn't opt for the FSD I wouldn't even hesitate to buy this right when I take delivery. haha

Thanks for this guidance! I just set all of that up...kinda convoluted...but I understand, since I can't add PayPal directly to my Tesla account.

Now I just need to decide this weekend whether I want both the acceleration boost upgrade and EAP, or just the boost Would get $300 cash back when purchasing both.

Did they ever release a Ludacris mode for the 3? I know about the one for the old S P85D and P90D. That was like $10k right? That'd be too steep for me.

Its permanently available, and I expect it to be permanently available for the Y.
