Peak Power Increase Model Y Performance?

[amagtibay1]

I was just noticing that the quicker variants of other crossover EVs are now closer or possibly quicker than the MYP. I wonder of Elon/Tesla will send an OTA update to increase the peak power of the MYP 5% (just like they did in the model 3) Im sure no one wants the EV6GT or others to be quicker..... Does any other model y performance owners want a small horsepower boost as well?

Maybe a paid update

EV6 GT rated 0-60 is only .1 faster than the rated 0-60 of MYP. Will have to see if it lives up to those numbers and I am sure there will be drag races with a MYP also. Will be interesting to see.

I launched my MYP on a downhill section the other night.

I felt sick afterwards. Maybe they can add in some top-end power to make it faster than the competition. The power from a dig is juuuust fine.

Isn't the Rivian R1T faster than the MYP now too? Crazy.

In the higher section of the powerband is where the MYP Is lacking.

I've always wondered if Tesla has held back the P3/Y for just such an occurrence. Guess it depends on how many more new EV's come to market with better performance numbers. Only Elon and Tesla know the answer.

This is a GREAT idea, and something I've been thinking about more often as I see more and more electric cars test with very impressive 0-60 times! I certainly would pay to gain about a half second and get under 3 seconds for my 0-60. It's got to be something they could provide if enough people ask about it. In the meantime, the only way I can think of to gain quicker acceleration is installing lighter wheels on my MYP. Which I'm doing!

Yes yes yes yes please give us the power update! I have 32,400 miles on my 2021 Y Performance with the 21 Uber turbine wheels.

How much faster is the EV6 GT? DRAGY results for my PMY

Thanks for responding!

At that speed you're already going to jail anyways so... over 120mph... I'm too old to care.

Just saying, doesn't seem to be a need to shave the 0-60 down much more just because Kia MIGHT do it a little quicker.

I'm guessing that probably won't happen as it will challenge the X and the 3 and possibly limits of the inverter and losing the built-in padding. That said others might get close, closer, or faster but none have been proven to not blow up. Hyundai/Kia still have serious battery issues that doesn't seem to get much media coverage. The MYP has been proven, for ex. by Edmunds test car which has been raced repeatedly since release w/o issue.
