"Acceleration Boost" option, discussion as to which models and how much quicker

[MrSlippery]

AB was fun for a day and I’m a speed junkie, but to me I just couldn’t tell that huge of a difference to feel good about the 2K. The LR is just a dang fast car as is.

For the price it is a great bang for your buck, however like any vehicle modification your body quickly adapts to the feeling and it just feels normal.

You are right the LR is fast as it is, the AB for me is a no brainer as I know I have spent far more than that on my WRX's over the past 20 years with no real return.

No doubt gaining a half second for 2K is great! I’m a new owner and having driven suvs for the last 14 years no AB is keeping me happy for now. I’m sure I’ll come back to it down the road.

You are right. I feel that the car is not as fast as before, but when I show the acceleration to anyone, they feel sick. So yes, my body adapted quickly to the feeling. Anyway, no regrets

that feel when you forget that you're in Chill Mode and lean on the throttle and wonder why the car is going so slowly

 

[cardsdoc]

Agree with above that you acclimate pretty quickly to the LR + AB acceleration. 2 weeks in and it doesn't seem quite as fast anymore even though I know it is. Still very fun and love having an under 4s 0-60 car that didn't cost a bazillion dollars.

Bought the boost last night. Tried to shoot some quick film for my youtube and then hope to bring it to the dragway today, But got totally rained out, so that stinks. Youtube video up by tomorrow

I definitely feel its worth it. A very noticeable surge from 20-80mph

bought the boost, and it was enabled in the vehicle within 60 seconds. Crazy how responsive!

 

[indyjaco]

The boost is great and worth it. Its just wild to be at 50 mph so easily in the land of 30/35 mph zones I live in

I bought it on day one and would do it again . I wonder if Tesla will ever offer an update that will allow stealth performance for an additional 2k or so for those already with acceleration boost

It’s possible with the earlier dual motor cars with the 980 motor, but for the vast majority of dual motor long range cars with 990 motors, they don’t have the hardware capable of it.

Tesla removed some MOSFETs from the inverter on the 990 motors to save cost.

I had the AB for a day. Didn’t feel worth it. Only seemed faster under 35mph. Rolling on at freeway speed to slip into a spot for a lane change or merging on a short on-ramp felt about the same.

Differences at each 10 mph boosted vs non-boosted:

0-10: 0.08
10-20: 0.06
20-30: 0.08
30-40: 0.05
40-50: 0.07
50-60: 0.07

Which all adds up to a total difference 0-60 of 0.41 seconds.... but really the 0-30 (0.22 quicker) and 30-60 (0.19 quicker) splits aren't too far different from each other.


(all #s cited without rollout)

There's tiny bit more available after that with the boost than without, but not much... (they finish the 1/4 mile 0.45 seconds apart in the data I've got for example, so only 0.04 seconds different from the gap at the 60 mph mark.

Love watching your videos. Anxiously waiting for you to run. Still waiting for my delivery(ordered 6/27). Spec is same exact as mine. I am going to add boost soon after delivery as well!

Both track days (Wednesday at 6pm) have poured with rain.

This Wednesday is looking to be much of the same. This car is cursed haha

On the brighter side, I did just pickup the car back from getting a bunch of PPF and some ceramic tint.

Fingers still crossed for Wednesday.

11.8@116 is the goal

Looks like liquid glass. Nice !

Again looks like more rain, so unsure if I'll get it to the track tomorrow.

fingers crossed

A year later and I think this is my best 0-60 (by 0.01 of second) yet.

Do you have these difference breakdowns above 60 mph? I think the previous poster was really talking about freeway speeds (>60mph), which I also didn't notice a difference vs no AB.
