Anyone regret buying the Acceleration Boost for their Model Y?

[Tedkidd]

Performance is $5k more...?

 

[whisperingshad]

Now it is yeah, was 10k

 

[Tha_Ape]

Now it is yeah, was 10k

it was a no-brainer for me then. I can understand the consternation now

 

[BudYSir]

No regrets paying for the extra giddy up. But now kinda having regrets not going with the performance.

I’d say it’s worth 1-1.4K but 2k is a bit out of reach. I will say that the cost delta between LR and Performance, it IS worth it when you think about total
Cost of vehicle.

Just think of it like how you would treat an ICE... I've gotten headers/intakes/exhaust/tune/etc on my ICE cars, so getting AB was a no-brainer for me. Only reason I didn't get performance is becuase it doesn't come in a 7 seat configuration.

Any idea if it degrades the battery faster over time by having it enabled? (Regardless of turtle vs spirited driving)

If I knew I had a 82kWh battery I’d get it, but if my battery is on the low end 75kwh - think it might degrade it too much

 

[Paige111]

It wouldn't any more than a P model would

but the M3P has the 82KWH battery - the LR might have a low 75KWH battery - it would degrade quicker. If I knew I had a 82KWH battery -I’d for sure get it

 

[DayTrippin]

No impact on your battery degradation that I can tell. It is not like you can continuously use it and it basically just improves your 0-60 times. Don't see any improvement at let's say 80 mph and up.

Best mod though I've done to both my Y and 3. I hope they'll come out with something similar for my S as well.

The only thing the acceleration boost will degrade is your wallet and your Tesla Model Y's rear tires.

I have a 3 - do you think AB will increase in price ?

I have no idea. So far the $2k price has held.

Not really

It will be interesting if this becomes available for the acceleration boost: Tesla Track Mode coming to non-Performance models

 

[DayTrippin]

Per Elon in response to a treat it is supposed to.

 

[pt19713]

He has said a lot of things that never come to fruition. I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[DayTrippin]

They could be lies. Biggest ones all concern fool self driving ...

Or maybe it is just Elon time is incomprehensible by us mere mortals.

 

[Tha_Ape]

I think his "ok", is acknowledgment, not agreement

 

[Tedkidd]

Curious to see what happens with track mode.
Expect itll arrive in 2 weeks.

 

[DayTrippin]

The boost is all gone pretty much by 60 mph. In testing on my Y, it knocked about .4 seconds off its 30-70 mph sprint and made it comparable to a MYP in that speed range.

I didn't see a huge difference in the 0-10 mph range, but basically, it knocked off about 0.1 seconds off every 10 mph interval to 60 mph.

I picked up my MY yesterday that was on hold since 2020 at the 49,990 price.

Wondering if it’s worth getting acceleration boost and wheels or just selling and getting a MYP with how prices have been. I also have a P ordered at 63990 price currently on hold.
