Acceleration Boost Upgrade/option inbound?

[rotor2k]

(But I have no option to buy the upgrade).

 

[G26okie]

I have a P- and see no options to upgrade anything other than FSD...

The option isn't available yet, only the footnote has appeared on the page so far.

 

[Val33]

The source code of the upgrade page for me (M3LR) says 'Improve your 0-60 mph acceleration from 4.4 seconds to 3.9 seconds with an over-the-air update'

Very tempting, but not sure its really worth £2k

 

[ACarneiro]

We sort of saw this one coming quite a while ago, really, didn’t we?

Agree, probably not worth the cost.

 

[pdk42]

Hmmm - it's clear to me that the LRAWD which I have is software limited below 30mph. Acceleration above that speed is phenomenal. Not sure I want to spend £2k for a quicker 0-30 time.

 

[NewbieT]

No idea how it would affect car registration or insurance group.

(M3LR) says 'Improve your 0-60 mph acceleration from 4.4 seconds to 3.9 seconds -Val33

SR+ also says " Improve your 0-60 mph acceleration from 4.4 seconds to 3.9 seconds with an over-the-air update." Assume this can't be right so perhaps not for SR+.

Nothing showing in my account other than FSD

I'm quite capable of having pulse-raising moments when hoofing it out of roundabouts with just the standard LR AWD (which behaves under those circumstances as if it's rear-wheel drive, as it definitely power oversteers). If I had more acceleration to hand then two things would be certain to happen:

1. My risk of scaring myself shitless would increase even more.

2. My wife would shout at me a great deal more than she does already...

I have the P+ and find that it’s full force acceleration is met by some with nausea and/or anger. A fair amount of people laugh, but a fair amount hate it. I’ve cricked my wife’s neck, and I have to go easy with children in rear facing car seats whose head is thrown away from their seat not into the headrest like everybody else’s.

Unfortunately the guy that broke the news many many many months ago I think got banned for spreading rumours. He even said wait for Santa so got the timing to perfection.

given up trying to find the reference

 

[R.A.G]

My P+ is already mental quick so I’ll need some convincing.

Agreed, they’ll need to be offering something pretty spectacular to get M3P drivers coughing up for even more performance!

 

[DaveMUK]

I’ve got a model X 100D and I see the same text on the upgrade options page.

 

[Nitramman3]

Is this available for the P+ With FSD or just an upgrade to get LRAWD closer to the P?

 

[pow216]

Well, it's showing up when I log in and I have a P. Hard to believe it won't just be for the LR though.

 

[Rooster6655]

Well for £2k most people could have got a P- so hardly a deal!

With great power comes great responsibility.

(my completely original thought).

 

[Andrew_SE23]

I image that this would be of most interest to people who bought the P+ so they could make it a P++.

Personally, the only thing that would dissuade me from purchasing it would be the faff of insurance policy alterations.

edit: It is annoyingly rare that I drive the car without either my wife or doggo inside, so accelerating hard is my infrequent dirty little secret.

M3P..... it’s good to torque

 

[Fraank]

I image that this would be of most interest to people who bought the P+ so they could make it a P++.

And the people who bought a P- can have a P-+...

This upgrade sounds intriguing, but as a leaser I will have to remain at the window, peering in at the Elon Christmas Tree and it's pleasing delights.

So I have a M3P with FSD , I had heard about this over the air update coming. However I inferred that it was a standard update giving an extra 40bhp (or so) and had assumed it was part of the update service to the M3P... is this not the case, would I have to pay for this ?

Very likely won't apply to your car. The most likely candidate for this are the Dual Motor non performance variety. An attempt to fill the 1 second gap between the performance and non performance 3
