Anyone buy the $2000 Acceleration Boost for M3?

[Seth2020]

For my 2020 AWS LR M3, my app shows me the following available upgrade

Acceleration Boost $2000
Improved 0-60 mph time, 4.4s to 3.9s

Have any of you purchased this? What are your thoughts on it?

 

[Seth2020]

ok, there are some prior discussions on this

Acceleration Boost Upgrade

How noticeable is the acceleration boost from a dual motor long range to a performance Model 3?

But still, if you have a fresh opinion please let me know in this thread

I have June 2019 AWD Model 3. I purchased the upgrade. It does cut 0.5 from the 0 to 60.

I don't feel any difference 0-30 portion. But I feel a big difference in the 30-60 range. People with tools that measure the acceleration say the improvement is across the full range but I only feel it in the second half.

IMO it is worth it.

Literally a 95+ page master thread on this topic right above

MASTER THREAD: "Acceleration Boost" option, discussion as to which models and how much quicker

Here's a spreadsheet I made recently for some comparisons between the LR AWD and P at the various power levels they've been available at-most data from owners who've posted draggy data logs, though a couple are from other sources (and the power data is from WUGZ canbus logs from reddit)

There's a SECOND 5% bump you can buy????

The second 5% bump wasn't a purchase. Tesla rolled them out in two different software updates at no cost.

As for OP's question, I purchased it last week for my 2020 LR AWD. I've driven both this and the performance, and while the performance is quicker, i don't regret the speed boost. I can't imagine going back, and like many others, I'd love if they gave us the option for the extra boost to get to 'stealth' levels in the future.

I'm not sure of the technicalities, but with Wugz findings I'm hoping it's possible since he the rear motor peak power was technically reduced with this acceleration boost. I don't know how it would work in conjunction with the front motor, but in theory there should be some room left even with the 990 motor in the newer cars.

No...there were two FREE power boosts as well. Could even be more free ones, you never know!

Need to see data on the 2018 LR RWD and then for its power boosts. When I got mine there were no AWD models available. Include MR and SR/SR+ versions while you're at it.

Recieved my 3 a little over a month ago and bought the acceleration upgrade. For me, it was worth it. I didn't want to spend the extra money for the performance and I am not a fan of the 20" wheels, but liked the idea of having a little more power when showing it off to friends/family. It ended up being a good compromise.
