Performance Boost Available

[Protect1989]

I caved and purchased the boost.

holy *sugar* it’s a night and day difference. Remember the first time you drove and Tesla and you had that rollercoaster feeling in your stomach? The raw power that hooked you into the vehicle in the first place? The boost brings that feeling back.

On the standard Y, the acceleration has sort of a slow roll out before it really starts moving. This solves that delay. It’s literally almost a question of if it’s too fast (it’s not, but you get the point).

happy to answer any and all questions. I tried downloading a 0-60 app but it’s unreliable and spotty.

I can’t wait for some real comparisons measured with a draggy.

Will Tesla put out a software update for boost on the MY Performance like on the M3 Performance? Do you think its in the works? I've been driving my car for about a month and a half. I believe there's plenty more power in the MY Performance! Fingers crossed....

Just to confirm....the upgrade does transfer with the car when it sells? So its $2000, but you would just be paying for depreciation b/c it does increase the value of the car, correct?

There has never been a boost option for the Performance. There were 2, 5% power bumps that all model 3s received but the Performance seems to be near its limit now.

I don’t think it increases the value of the car at all. If you’re trading it in to Tesla, they will remove it anyway, so that they can (possibly) sell the same “upgrade” to the next buyer/sucker.
If I was looking for a used MY , I would prefer one without the boost, less abuse by previous owner

I was able to sell my Model 3 privately and actually got MORE calls because it included the performance boost.

Purchased it for $56k, received a tax break, and sold it for $50k cash. Now I’m in a Model Y LR with acceleration boost and have zero regrets!

As someone wise said once, there’s a sucker born every minute. I’m glad you found one to sell your car to.

I floored it a few times and did one from a dead stop. I noticed a very slight difference. My wife and daughter didn’t notice at all.

Just curious: after receiving the update, did you do a reboot? I've seen others talking about not noticing a difference until after rebooting.

(I haven't bought this upgrade yet, so I can't add any data points)

"I hooked up my Dragy GPS and it ran 12.26 @ 113 mph. 0-60 3.9 with a 1ft roll out. 19" Geminis LR AWD"

3.9sec puts it only 0.4 from the performance! Oh man, if this is verified, it's a no brainer if you were on the fence for the performance.

Ugh this doesn't help me hold out. I can hear my wallet screaming from the other room. Must resist.

i was guessing 4 sec since model 3 with boost 0-60 w/ rollout is about 3.6 i think. .3 sec better than w/o rollout.

Tried the upgrade....I can definitely tell a difference. Floored it before and after the upgrade, and just like most here on the thread, before, the MY doesn't really push you back into your seat until ...30-40mph or so? After the upgrade, I feel that push into your seat near immediately.

I really need to try out a model S ludicrous mode now....I can barely imagine what that would feel like.

Don't....your car will feel slow afterwards. The G forces on that car is painful...i'd probably black out in the Plaid version.

Any idea if this coming to S LR?

I thought the Performance M3 went from 3.5 to 60 to 3.2 with the boost option??

 

[KenMast3rs]

Insurance probably doesn’t cover this cost if you got into an accident and get a new Y, huh?

No they were free upgrades

Lol that's me. I even posted the Dragy screens in the reddit thread and here.

I saw that. I posted this here before you sent your screenshot on Reddit. The results are incredibly exciting.
