Ingenext Boost Modules [aftermarket]

In the spirit of the 980 discussion I do wonder something. If an AWD owner with the 980 suffers a rear motor failure would they replace with another 980 or would the use a 990 instead?

As someone about to swap my 990 for a 980, I was curious of this.

I had my motor replaced. They used the same 980 replacement motor. My car is a Aug 2018 Build.

Can we all agree that we don't have conclusive proof one way or another that 980 motors...

My kids got into a fight yesterday. When I tried to shut them down my daughter said "but (my brother) is being a turd". To which I replied, "You are both being turds and I refuse to be the turd judge. Go to your rooms."

That's a good question. I guess it would also depend what extra programming might be required. Except for the fact that the 980 could be more prone to failure, there should be no difference in power output as programmed by Tesla. And potential means nothing if
it isn't going to be used. I'm curious to see how the 990s hold up over time. So far, I haven't read of a single 990 failure here or on other sites. Obviously, time will tell.

I believe Car and Driver magazine had a long term test Model 3 equipped with the 990 rear motor, which suffered an inverter unit failure. Our Tesla Model 3 Is Up and Running Again after Sudden Breakdown

Their test car was a 2019 model year LR AWD, which puts it in 990 territory.

Mine is a 2018 model (barely, as in 12/31/2018 build date), and has a version "A" 990 rear.

Ok, so the 990s go back further than I thought. I was under the impression based on what I read on the forum, that the cut off was some time around early to mid 2019. Obviously, they were phasing them in months earlier. I wonder what's the latest build a 980 was found in?

The guy with the 12/31/18 build is the only 990 I've ever heard of from 2018.

In the big motor thread the first one previously was someone in the EU (UK I think?) with a Jan 2019 car and a 990.... but 980s kept showing up in at least some US LR AWDs through the summer of 2019 (intermixed with 990s, the earliest US one I recall before this guy being about march timeframe and the latest I think was July/August timeframe)

mine is about to crest 40k miles any minute, if i was past the warranty period, i would go for the power increase.

 

[JTesmod3]

Agreed, the stage 2 just has too many issues. I really dont see anyone doing this.
Way too much risk/hassle/cost/travel etc.
Cant get future updates/have to remove and pay for Free updates.
If someone was really willing to take this big of risk and hassle just to get 3.1 0-60 why not just buy a performance model.

Eagerly awaiting video. COME ON RICH!!!!

I'd probably consider it after all my warranties from Tesla are up... Even then it's still a hard sale for me

 

[SlimJim]

This option would make sense on a leased car.
After you return the lease you still have the hardware you can sell to another buyer to recoup the money.

 

[turbodiesel13]

I agree. For people that have their Tesla via a Lease company currently the car disappeared from the account online and in the app the 'upgrade' section is now disappeared. So for them it;s not possible anymore to buy the tesla official acceleration boost.

Can confirm the same. My July 2018 LR AWD RDU died and was just swapped out. Got a new 980 put in under warranty.

Why would they still be replacing AWDs with 980s then? Doesn’t check out.

Because most likely, it's simply a drop-in and forget it. Anything else might not be compatible out of the box.

Can you state the symptoms?

 

[SdpLV]

Can you state the symptoms?

Repeated Service Required + Power Reduced Notifications

Car felt like it was driving fine but started to make some strange noises when parked.

 

[TwoK4drSi]

If I was EG...I wouldn’t be bragging about this tbh if you’re trying to sell software.

 

[Knightshade]

Weird how the only draggy results they ever seem to get/show are mediocre results on low SoC.

Does their "electrified garage" not contain a charger?

 

[john5520]

I'll reserve judgement until I see some numbers out in the wild.
