How do you know that you’ve received the acceleration boost upgrade?

I won’t get into the pluses and minuses of buying the performance boost. I toyed with getting the Performance version, but $10k was too much for things I didn’t need. Another $2k was a lot, but not enough to dissuade me. After buying the upgrade, the instructions were that the update would be pushed while I was parked and connected to WiFi.

I didn’t see anything the next morning like I normally do with a software update (i.e., asking me to download, then showing release notes). Does that mean it hasn’t come yet, or is this update more stealthy? If so, how do I know I received it? Is there some new setting I haven’t noticed yet? Thanks!

 

Yes. I just couldn’t remember if it was there before. I gather from your post it wasn’t. ;-) Thanks.

 

There is that.... Honestly, my LR AWD was plenty fast before, but I couldn’t resist.

 

Yes. It was fast before, but a bit silly fast now - Something you’re familiar with in your Performance M3. Fortunately, I like silly. My 29 year old daughter, on the other hand, told me today to please stop with the rocket launches.

 

@Postal M3 - Yikes, I would hope not. Interestingly, in July, Motor Trend clocked the LR AWD at 4.0 for 0-60, much faster than Tesla’s rep. I wonder what they’d get if they redid the test post-boost. Getting 3.8 with the boost would split the difference between the promised 4.4 and the Performance 3.2. Maybe that’s what Tesla had in mind, but if Motor Trend got a 10% acceleration boost from the upgrade on top of their faster time from July, they could conceivably clock a LR AWD with boost around 3.5!

 

Yeah. I love the nervous laughs I get....

 

Actually, I sailboat race back East during the summer and “horizonjob” describes a successful move or series of successful moves where the competition sees you near them and then in short order you’re just a dot on the horizon, thereby pulling a horizon job on them. I am familiar with Horizon High, though I live near and my younger daughter went to Desert Mountain.

Seems that everyone I know in Scottsdale is either looking at, buying, or has bought a Tesla. On my short commute to work, I will count 6-10 easily, plus there are now about 10 in my company’s lot. The HOV lane is often called the Tesla lane.
