    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).

    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!

    apparently it's for any of the dual motor variants. P, Stealth, and AWD

    Seems too low a price to convert AWD to Performance, so maybe something else?

    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

    So does that take the place of ordering a stealth?

    I’ll assume this won’t apply to rear wheel drive

    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?

    Why?

    The current price to get a P3D- is $2000 more than an AWD

    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...
