What does the LR Acceleration Boost cost in Australia?

[Flatbat]

Just log a service request and ask for update if possible. Could be issue with update cache, car not marked delivered, etc.

Already done that. There are no updates due for my VIN according to Tesla even though my car represents 0.1% of the Model 3 fleet on Teslafi.

Anyone else around here got Acceleration Boost?

So no acceleration upgrades for newly delivered LR in Australia.

Thanks for posting here, I was asking the same question! I guess we’ll just have to wait…

Perhaps with they next main build after mine 2021.32.x, they started bundling the work in progress AB that will ultimately support the LFP batteries.

They aren't using LFP in any LR. The updated battery is the new slightly larger capacity one.

Oh I see. Thanks.

Yep can confirm my new LR cannot download the Acceleration Boost... Sad Face!

Is yours with the LG pack (i.e. MIC version built this year around October or earlier?)

 

[0CO2]

Ordered it on the 29th of October and picked it up on the 30th of November. Not sure if that means LG or not…

Does anyone else have a new Model 3 LR that is not showing availability in their app? I've had mine for 2 weeks now, uninstalled and reinstalled the app but still not showing. Anyone else had the same issue?

 

[doggy1]

Mine is 12wks and the option is still in the App. There is a whole thread on this and related AB matters further down the page.

Yes, see What does the LR Acceleration Boost cost in Australia?

It use to be $3000

 

[stinger01]

I'm just wondering if anyone has the Acceleration Boost upgrade available on a new LR model yet?

Still not showing up in upgrades

 

[jamesgo]

I wonder if it's only for Nickel battery powered cars. I have to say the Acceleration Boost was a noticeable improvement.

I can get a speeding fine in a Yaris (or insert name of lame car that can go faster than 50km/h here).

Cruise control is your friend. I just got into the habit early on of using it almost everywhere. It has saved me being gunned by a radar hiding in the bushes quite a few times, as well as fixed cameras I just forgot were there. I don't worry about speeding any more. Just one of the many advantages of our cars. But of course it's tempting to give it a squirt sometimes!

I find I'm using TACC less and less since it keeps braking and beeping at me as I steer around cars parked on the left hand side of the road. It needs to get better at identifying potential collisions (or more specifically, when the current trajectory is close but not going to hit the car) before I'm confident with using it. Occasionally I'm not ready for those cars on the side of the road and it slams on the brakes, despite the fact that I am easily going to clear it. It's just not clever enough yet. Likewise people that drive across in front of you. They don't stop, but the TACC tries to, and panics. My other half won't use cruise at all. The bong is my friend to be honest. I've been using cruise on city streets for years. But my previous cruise wasn't as clever as TACC, so it didn't brake for things I'm not going to hit!

I had a situation the other day where TACC nearly had me run up the back of a car - it appears there's a blind spot for TACC.

I'd come from the M4 east bound and was transferring to the M7 south bound. I'd left TACC on while I was on the slip road. It had slowed to 90 then 80 and had then increased to 90 then 105. As I was about to enter the M7 there was a slow car passing the exit in the left lane. TACC missed it completely and I was only a couple of metres from hitting it when I braked to turn off the TACC.

They don't stop, but the TACC tries to, and panics.

I get this occasionally, but on the whole it's pretty good. I don't use it in stop start traffic, or on twisty hilly roads where it can't see the lines. Also, my early MS TACC is by Mobileye (HW1), while the M3 TACC is by Tesla. Their behaviour may be a little different.
