Thanks. That was pretty informative.I can understand not wanting to wade through the lengthy threads on the Acceleration boost....
The boost has no direct impact on efficiency or range. If you drive the car the exact same way, it will have the same range as before.
Now....indirectly, having the boost means that the desire to punch it off a green light is ever stronger, especially when there is a loud muscle car or sports car beside you. That will reduce your range, but not much, from my experience.
I bought the boost and highly recommend it. If you are already contemplating it, you will not be disappointed in it. Also, as a bonus, it balances out (slightly) the power of the front and rear motors, which may come in handy in AWD situations (like snow or ice).
Coke and hookers?Just buy it. What else you gonna spend it on?
They might have corona so I’d say boost is saferCoke and hookers?
Interesting. Has the power balancing between motors been documented?I can understand not wanting to wade through the lengthy threads on the Acceleration boost....

Yes, in the long thread about the power boost, there is a link to an analysis of the impact of the upgrade, which, interestingly reduces (very slightly) the rear motor's power and increased the front.Interesting. Has the power balancing between motors been documented?

Be assured it did not. Just not enough difference for you to notice on the street over a variety of roads.My 2018 had the same power full or almost empty when new.
All EV's performance (or power tools for instance) will degrade as the power/battery voltage goes down. As the voltage drops to probably about 3.5V or lower (or about 330V or so) the amperage/current will go down sharply. This is just physics....My 2018 had the same power full or almost empty when new....
Maybe it did have a little more power depending on state of charge when new but it was not noticeable. Now 90% VS 20% it's very obvious.Be assured it did not. Just not enough difference for you to notice on the street over a variety of roads.
The power output is fairly stable until about 60% SOC, then it starts dropping a lot faster as the SOC falls. However new, without this purchased boost, you'll probably only notice that if you are repeatedly pushing it to the limit over the same extended distance of acceleration over and over, and noting the speed reached or doing a time. For example at a racing road track.
Tesla cars have a max power setting. When that max power setting is low you can run the battery down considerably and the performance is the same. As the cars get subsequent performance boosts that max power setting is increased, that buffer becomes smaller and decreases in state of charge drop below max power more easily and become noticeable.All EV's performance (or power tools for instance) will degrade as the power/battery voltage goes down.

Correct. Power is V * I (current). The drive unit attempts to compensate for dropping voltage by opening up more current. What happens as the voltage drops is the current reaches the top safe limit, either out of the battery or in the conductors & electronics coming to the motor.Tesla cars have a max power setting.
