Acceleration boost thoughts
- Thread starter Noahmy
- Start date
When the price difference between MY LR and MYP was $10k - $2k Boost was no brainer.
Now I would get MYP. You get a lot for $4k difference.
And I do not think Acceleration Boost will get faster, then there is no point to get MYP.
The difference in acceleration already is not that huge for average Joe.
For true fans MYP will always be much much faster
then MY LR with AB.

then MY LR with AB.That makes more sense, I wasnt thinking about the old price gap between the two. I took advantage of the 7500 discount from Tesla but they only had the long range and not the myp in my area. I probably wouldn't even really use it since I have a 2 month old but apart of me would just like just having the capability to punch it lol.

AB already gives about 2/3rds of MYP performance. Adding more does not make sense.

If you got the $ it’s seat of the pants fun.
But yeah I sit and wonder hmm… why didn’t you just get the MYP?? I skipped it due to suspension drop and I could hear members of my family complaining about ride height.
I traded it for complaints about “why are your seats white?!?” And “you do everything on this screen?” lol. They shut up when you punch it.

I got acceleration boost but usually drive in chill mode 
I don't own an Austin-built SR Model Y; perhaps someone who own's this model will read this post.
Looks like the Austin-build SR MY with the 4680 battery used to have acceleration boost but it was removed: Acceleration Boost for 4680 Model Y removed from Tesla mobile app
It's probably a mistake given that the screenshot saids "4.8s to 4.2s", the SR MY from Austin has a 0-60 of 5.0s.

in the entire time that acceleration boost has been available (even with the model 3's), i don't recall hearing that the amount of improvement changes.
that being said, to me, acceleration boost is only part of the equation. the suspension also plays a role, too. I like the stability (especially for an SUV/crossover) that the model Y performance has when cornering or exiting/entering a very curvy on/off ramp for a highway when no one else is in front of you. It's like the model 3 (which a much lower center of gravity).
unfortunately, i haven't been able to push it, since the times i test drove the model Y Performance has been when it's been very rainy or sleeting. and it's still very cold (ie - freezing temps) and i'm not stupid/that skilled.
i wish i didn't have the 21" rims with the extremely limited tire selection and easy curbing, though.

You can safely go wider on your next set of tires which will add comfort and regain curb protection, 275/35 and 295/35 are ideal if staying with stock ubers.
Also, be careful of the compound of your tires. If you have the Pzero summer tires (or any other summer tires), they harden and can crack at 45F. The warranty on them will also be void if used in that temp, etc etc.

i have too many roundabouts where i live to trust fsd..... but they also make spirited driving a bit more fun, esp with the MYP suspension (without the body roll)

There is no such thing as a MYSR from Austin.
You may mean the MYAWD from Austin, which seemingly does have AB, however it's working from a slightly slower platform, and at one point wasn't available - they kinda were not thinking of it when they built that thing.

The energy density of those ones is lower too iirc so AB would be limited by that I suspect.

It’s not that bad, I was zoned out one time and caught off guard by a roundabout in an unfamiliar town with a humongous fire truck that was waiting to enter which just confused me who’s turn it was along with other tourist also. It pulled it off successfully but slow, and better than what I would have done.
