Acceleration boost upgrade

[Destiny1701]

If you wanna make your long range like a performance edition...

GHOST UPGRADE

It's almost scary.. You need to have the right motor (980 or 4D1). Here's a video to help you find the number motor. The Ghost doesn't work with the 990 & 780 motors. The update transforms your dual motor into a Performance It adds 150 HP to your car... You'll be able to do 0-60 MPH in 3.2...

This is will only work for early mid 2020 models. 980 motors stopped after Tesla caught on.

AB is terrific. I got it back in May of 2021 immediately after I purchased my Y LR.

Agreed. It’s not just 0-60, it’s the entire power band that sees an increase throttle response. Particularly 30-50 or 50-90…quite impressive and makes the car feel 500lb lighter imo

Like everyone has said it’s well worth it. My Lr with boost stays with (sometimes pulls slightly) with my buddies myp from 25 ish on up. But it doesn‘t launch as hard. My wife appreciates that part. I like the passing power while at freeway speed. Best of all you keep your warranty.

You always had this option but, until recently, I don't think you could do it through the car's interface. That's probably why you only just noticed it. I think it was only available through the app before.

I did it after about 10 months of ownership -- I agree with the others here that it's noticeable and was worth it to me who was starting to have regrets about not getting the performance model to begin with.

Careful, trying it out will cost you $2k, Once you feel the difference in pull it will be hard to give it up. You will get used to the difference but it won't be within the 48hr window LOL

I haven’t purchased the upgrade yet. However, I was over taking some cars on some country roads in Scotland yesterday during a trip. I am already impressed with the standard performance. I was passing cars that normally I wouldn’t attempt unless I was on my GSXR1000K4. The instant torque is incredible!

I’ve owned very fast ICE cars that came with all the exciting drama of noise. The Y does it so quietly, almost stately. I’ll be adding the boost on pay day. Heck yeah!

I've owned my MYLR for 1 month and I'm still getting used to the car, learning all of the features, and getting used to driving the fastest car I've ever owned. I'm going to wait a few months before trying the acceleration boost - I want to really be used to the car as it is now - after that, I think I can better judge if I really want the boost. Honestly, I've had very few moments where I could really floor it, so I don't know if I'd really get to use the boost much if I did buy it.

If only they would offer this for the MYP!

Oh like insane mode or ludicrous? I’m praying they do! I’d be all over a 0-60 3.0 flat for the MYP! However I think they have maxed out the output for the current motor/2170 battery config and weight of the vehicle

 

[advocate8]

the other way to look at it is... it’s nearly 10 percent improvement.

While I agree, one can only hope. They ought to just use the new MS plaid motors that are carbon wrapped. Tune them down, and offer AB packages. This would also reduce cost of the plain motor, standardize the motor for production cost reduction, etc.

But not a chance that is happening..

I used the 48hr test option over the weekend and OMG this is so much fun! I have submitted a return for now just to wait for a dry roads to have a no-accel.boost experience and then get it finally!
It's 100% worth the money!

 

[patnshan]

It's totally worth it. It a huge difference in acceleration. You definitely feel it. I thought I'd try it and return it, but was hooked on my first drive.

Not or the current price no. Add 40k to the MYP price and maybe sure. Right now Tesla is recovering their R&D on the expense of inventing the carbon sleeve in the first place lol. It comes with a hefty price tag for now. They don’t even use it for the LR model S or X…which is still pricier than an MYP.

I agree if it’s cost effective to provide this motor over the current, they will eventually do so.

Interesting, it really was not worth it for me. It is definitely way faster, but it seemed like the car wasn't really meant to handle the extra speed. Even with sport handling on, the extra speed made the car not very comfortable to drive. Fast yes, but not very enjoyable for me at least. Just my opinion

I know what you mean, that got me to think perhaps it needs some downforce aero help…spoiler, diffuser etc. Or better tires?? Anyone with any mods see any improvements?

downside of purchasing the AB when you trade it back in dealership does not give you that value, and next customer loses the AB?

however if we sell the vehicle privately, next customer continue to retain the AB?

It seems like every used car Tesla sells has AB already installed.

Perhaps this has been answered already. But how much does AB affect range provided you're driving the vehicle normally and not hooning it all over the place?

If you drive with a light touch on the accelerator pedal then no difference. The Driving Pedal options change from Normal Mode or Chill Mode to Sport Mode or Chill Mode.
