Acceleration Boost option for Model Y available?

[Maryland]

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

Then repeat as necessary

I’m on the fence about this.

How high is the fence? May want to wear a helmet. We only practice safety first here on TMC.

REALLY hope they do this for the PUP, but wouldn't they offer it the same time if they were???

Can you buy it twice and double up on the performance boost?

Heck just keep on buying until you are down to... 4.3 3.8 3.3 2.8 2.3 1.8 1.3 0.8 0.3 ...

Any limits on how many times you can buy for 48 hours & cancel?

Also, any speculation on whether acceleration boost could become a monthly subscription item like FSD may?

Seems acceleration boost would help resale.

I just don't get why trimming off .5 seconds is worth an upgrade. It's a novelty that doesn't materially change the driving experience after a handful of uses. I guess people just love spending money

 

[Tundrok]

Well they did it.

Tesla loves juicing end of quarter revenue by adding in these upgrades

You can only request a refund once. Second time it's yours to keep.

What is interesting is there is no sales tax on the performance upgrade (for me, in NV) but there is for EAP... I wonder why?

 

[jmatero]

This is what .5 second boost did for the Model 3. Expect the same for MY. Skip to 6:50 to see the comparison.

So I bought it and I just took my Y out for a drive. It's faster than my MX 100D. IMO it feels faster than 4.3. Maybe like 3.8. OMG... it threw me back in my seat. Sadly I am going to request a refund too much power for me especially since I got a $500 speeding ticket in my X which I turned it down to chill.

Yeah, this is kinda where I am. Back in my VW/Audi days, $2,000.00 could get you some serious power gains. I remember when $395.00 got you a Total Audi Performance chipset and wastegate spring for a Audi 5000 turbo Quattro that got you like 70hp or something like that.

I'm sure they're under-reporting the 0-60. Owners with the M3 boost (also supposed to be .5 sec improvement) consistently report closer to .75-1.0 reduction in 0-60. Performance model buyers would NOT be happy after spending $10k for similar 0-60 times.

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

I can tell you that I took delivery of my Model Y in July. As mentioned in other post. I cannot keep the peddle down very long at all. It literally makes my head spin. I do not need more power... Love my Model Y...

you can look at it that way. Or, I wanted the perf model. Didn’t want 21s or lowered suspension or $10k more.

this is the perfect trade off. I have more juice, gorgeous 20s and $6k left over. (20s were $2k).

dont need FSD. EAP is not worth $4k for my needs.

 

[Rice&Curry]

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 got an email in my app inbox offering it on my Model Y, LR, ( non PUP) for $2K.

 

[bgrynn1873]

I am thinking that there is no way this upgrade doesn't hit the range of the car. The performance model I believe is only 285 miles and big reason I did not get it. So I am thinking you need to consider losing 10-15 miles with this upgrade.

I understand why people would buy it but Range is the biggest thing with me. No way extra power doesn't cost something. Also I have think that running a motor slower is going be better long term for it. I hoping to keep my Modely for 200k miles.

Can see where people think this is a great option and if you do not do road trips then it probably makes sense but I would be pretty upset to lose 5% in range over it.

Just ones.
It says refund for upgrade can only be made once per upgrade.

It is my understanding that the Aero Wheels and the lack of a spoiler is where the LR Mode Y and LR Model 3 gain mileage. The Downforce of a spoiler may add to traction at higher speeds, but it does create drag... And therefore a loss in range... It is my understanding that that a stealth Model Y gets the same range as the LR Model Y. Tesla does not submit the Performance Model Y for EPA Mileage, financially it would be an un-necessary cost.
