Tesla is readying a new option, internally … - teslamotors - Reddit Reddit post about an acceleration mode.... There are people corroborating the rumor via their account homepage. However, I can't see it on mine, since I already have FSD, so I don't have any "live"/official software updates available to me. But.... $2,000 for this? Supposedly 10% improvement in 0-60 times (read the tweet thread). Tesla Change Tracker on Twitter Guys....now we're talking about P3D's that might be able to clear 2.75s 0-60. That's Ludicrous (which they probably chose not to say.....so S and X can still have that)

I really hope this is real, I will be in for sure as I have a LR AWD. Tesla is readying a new option, internally called "Acceleration Boost“, costing $2,000 for Model 3. We don‘t know yet in which form it will see the light of day. Stay tuned! Tesla Change Tracker on Twitter
I didnt read it that way. I read it as a upgrade for LR AWD model 3s to have "P" level acceleration. I think its MUCH more likely that AWD owners get the option to buy P, than ALL owners get to buy faster acceleration. We are both guessing, though. /shrug
That was my thought. Then you only need to order a red underline badge right? They did a soft launch with the Stealth orders and will now offer to all? It’s the same price, right?
from electrek, who may also be guessing: "Tesla accidentally leaked a new ‘Acceleration Boost’ upgrade planned for the Model 3 vehicles equipped with a dual-motor powertrain."
Most of the power is supplied by the rear motor, and since the rear motor is the same across all models it is a possibility.
The text shows up for me, a P3D- owner, and it’s unclear whether it was supposed to be hidden for people with my trim or whether it is an option everyone can buy. Especially if it’s $2k, which is exactly the premium over the LR AWD to get a stealth...
