Model 3 LR. Has acceleration boost upgrade been discontinued? [ no ]

[Bluedogger]

This was at the local drag strip tonight. 2019 LR with acceleration boost 11.86 at 115 mph. The best times I can find online for the Performance is 11.7…
so I’m very pleased.

I feel like I've seen some performance models doing 11.5-11.6 on YouTube. But still.

Performance runs 11.5-11.7 at 116-118 and accel boost runs 11.7-11.9 at 115-117. There are a few outliers that are slightly faster or slower, but that's the general range seen.

What would the cost saving be, going with a new Dual Motor w/ Boost today, as opposed to a Perfromance?

A few thousand + your soul.

Your auto insurance too for the time you own the car. I'm in CA and it would have cost me on avg $50-60 more/month.

Looks like Dual Motor with boost would run 51,990, vs the Performance at 56,990. I seem to remember a lot bigger price differential for the Perfomance model when I ordered back in 2018. The current $5k price difference including boost option definitely makes it worth it for me to go Performance again when I re up.

Here's one for you. 11.488

Another one here. Clearly faster than the boosted long range. Is it worth the extra money? Probably not.

Actually it seems that the performance is only faster than the long range from a standing start and only with over 60% state of charge.

Can anyone elaborate on what Wheely said?
