Car guy here, had fast cars all my life, Tesla-wise I had a P3D+ and a non-P 3D LR, so 3.1s and, what is it, 4.3s 0-60 MPH, respectively. When I got my P3D in ‘18, 3.1s was fast outside select clubs; these days, it’s nothing special. 4.3s is borderline slow, there are RWD cars (as in, not AWD) w/o a ton of horsepower that can achieve mid 4s and lower. There are RWD cars that can achieve 3.1s and below w/o being exotics (tho at substantial price premium over a P3D). Talking sedans/coupes here, all SUVs are slower for the same power output, because of weight and size. Now $2k for a substantial boost? 100% worth it. I’m buying the non-P Y because we need the 7 seats (the only reason we’re even looking at the Y, we were perfectly happy w/ the better handling 3 otherwise), it’s a no brainer to pay $2k and get it to be ballpark what our non-P 3 LR was. $2k given the performance gain is fantastic.
Lastly, if you’re not someone who cares that much about acceleration, it’s NOT worth it. Y’s plenty fast stock. There will never be a need to have the boost “to merge safely onto the highway” or other such nonesense. You’re driving irresponsibly and dangerously if a car even 3s slower than the stock Y is too slow for you to feel like you’re safe to merge onto the highway. The stock Y is a stupid fast car. It will scare most of your friends (it always feels faster & more dangerous when you’re not the one driving).
