Acceleration boost upgrade
- Thread starter sevusal
- Start date
They still haven‘t added a Standard option for AB right? Would be nice if it had 3 modes: comfort, original standard, boost. I’ve wanted to buy it but I already accelerate too fast for my wife in the regular LR.
Full Self Driving ($12k)
Better tires (Either summer performance or all-weather (3 peaks symbol) tires
Different wheels
Coilover suspension upgrade
I just noticed acceleration boost is no longer listed as an upgrade in my current app or online. Only premium connectivity (got FSD in 2020).
I wonder if either the FSD beta program influenced pulling this (quietly pulling the option later in the game) or the new availability of Tesla auto insurance in Virginia. Both would benefit from drivers without it.

Am I the only one that thinks the MY is fast enough already? The 'standard' MYLR can already smoke 90% of the cars on the road. Heck, I drive in chill mode half the time and I'm still never lacking enough acceleration. To each their own, but personally I could find better uses of $2k than to take my car from insanely fast to ludicrously fast.
Yes, You are the only one LOL, Just kidding they are insanely fast, but fast is like eating pringles, you can't eat just one. I was crazy enough to buy a MYP.

Same, I got mine for the brief period in February 2021 when the LR AWD was $48,000 -- didn't want to spend the extra $10k for a performance. Now, I'd just go with the performance.
That is what I paid for mine also and as soon as I took delivery at the service center I dated it before the first drive. I really wanted the myp. Now if only there was a way to control power fror front to back like a drift or trac mode. This big girls starts to rotate in the corners then the fun police cut in. Oh well love the ab.

You don't know much about modding and tuning cars huh? That could cost you upwards of 10K dollars to do on an ICE car, and then you'd fail smog. In some states, it's banned and when caught you'd have serious fines like in CA.
I know guys who spent $30,000 on an engine to get a half second faster in the quarter mile reliably. This is the cheapest performance upgrade I've ever seen for that much return

Agreed. I had to spend ~£9k to get .5 faster to 60mph. Cooling, turbo, upgraded radiator, upgraded fuel pump, injectors… This was on an already fast production car <5s to 60mph and a top end of 175mph that would struggle to keep up with an MY.
I think £1.5k is incredible value for something that can be unlocked in seconds and requires no physical upgrades.

If you’re someone who obsesses over maximizing performance and getting the absolute fastest car possible, then the acceleration boost is reasonably priced.
If you’re driving anywhere besides a track then it’s rather pointless.

I’m going to purchase the AB as I’m used to the standard acceleration now and others have said the mid range is improved for over taking. 
If only Tesla would do a Plaid MY…

Sure they would. For 50k more LOLI’m going to purchase the AB as I’m used to the standard acceleration now and others have said the mid range is improved for over taking.

I’d be happy with ludicrous option for MYP to bring 0-60 to 2.9 sec ..sub 3. I’d pay for that!
