Acceleration Boost option for Model Y available?

[rscottv]

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.

FYI - Discover limits the 5% to the first $1,500 of purchases for Restaurants and PayPal for the period. So if you already have spent money on either of those categories, that will count against your perceived cash back. If you have not, the max you could get back from the promotion is $75 ($1,500 * 5%). Just wanted to make you aware so you were not shocked if you did not get the $300 back.

(From Their Site: Earn 5% Cashback Bonus at Restaurants and PayPal from Now–September 30, 2020, on up to $1,500 in purchases.)

Used Apple Pay so got 2% cash back.

Ah, thanks for the clarification! I'll have to look, but it may make more sense for me to use Apple Pay with 2%.

Now waiting for the software update...still on 36.4

I need an affirmative but less enthusiastic poll option.

I doubt they will do it as they've done away with it on the Model 3 on their website.

Well they did it.

As the OP, you know I would buy it.

For those purchasing the upgrade don't forget to budget some extra money for tires since they will certainly need replacing sooner then you initially thought. Oh and have fun!

 

[oknish]

BOOM! Just purchased it. And with 5% cash back using my Discover card!

Thoughts on it? I just got our MY LR on Wed, 9/23, and now am tempted. Just need to justify it in my mind

Unfortunately, wet roads today. So no real "fun" happening off the line. But, it's definitely noticeable.

I guess I am using the cash back to justify then I mean how can I not save $100 even if I have to spend $1900. Amirite?

 

[rglore]

here’s what happens when you purchase the upgrade before you get the 36.10 software.

 

[camthehombre]

what was that?

Yeah, I was wrong for sure! I also didn’t expect them to bring back EAP. Can I get a job as a reverse fortune teller?!

Bro.....first you told me roads were wet and now you are raining on my cash back parade. Come on, now!! She already has enough reasons to say NO.

Jokes aside, after 20 years of marriage they kinda know what you're going to do. Soon as I sent her a screenshot of the available upgrade, she only asked when

I’m on the fence about this.

Pay for it.... try it out.... cancel if you don't like it. No risk.

I’m on the fence as well. Haven’t ever merged on the freeway and needed more acceleration. However.... it’s very tempting!
