Acceleration Boost Per Sales Representative

Do you have the 16v battery and Ryzen MCU? Because that, not model year, is what it does not work with.

Most 22s (which began shipping months ago) do not. But most NEW ones will.




Warranty on battery and drivetrain would also potentially be at risk.

Even if you remove it, it's not like Tesla can't know you had it.

Famously after the maker claimed it was "impossible" for Tesla to know, Tesla pushed out an update that specifically posted a message to users telling them they could tell it was there.

The maker then had to scramble to make new hardware that avoided the message. But there's still plenty of ways Tesla can know it's there, entirely via remote monitoring.

(the most obvious would be simply a line of code that records any time your car accelerates at a greater rate than its factory config says should be possible- there's nothing whatsoever the 3rd party can do to "block" detection like this).



As I say, it's YMMV on if those risks are worth the small cost savings vs buying it from Tesla instead.


Possibly of value to folks:


Post about someone who recently got locked out of using their car with having incompatible drive software with this mod, ended up having to remove and reapply SW update to correct.


and then starting from here:

Multiple posters confirming this mod physically does not work with the new Ryzen MCU and 16v battery.
Im sure there are those share of folks who have issues and those who are enjoying it…eh ever works. 🤷🏽‍♂️ fyi for me it was $800 cnd vs $3000. So cost benefit ? Hmmm 🤔

There are also features other than Boost which are also a net positive. But your correct in terms of risk factors. There are always some.

Also that same thread it was noted the owner ran an update without verification by said 3rd party as known by most who have it. There are hundreds if not thousands enjoying the product just fine 🤷🏽‍♂️
