Was thinking along the same lines. Hope you make $4000 from this video so you can pay for chairs + A.B. or Tesla gives you boost for free since you’re a promoter Or you can remove the seats from the M3 and use those for dining room chairs..
Been looking into used Teslas (From Tesla) more and more. Particularly intriguing: There are a couple of Model X Long Range Plus out there with 371 miles published range. And most of them seem to come with Full Self Driving for not much extra money because Tesla didn't give the owners anything for it on trade in.
Mr Beard, Thank you for driving all the way to Mexico just to demonstrate the 0-60 pulls 😅. I feel that’s the way to go.. a long range with boost! Can’t wait to see the next generation model 3 with this upgrade.
@@BeardedTeslaGuy I just watched another TH-camr dyno his Model Y LR before and after acceleration boost. Gained 100 HP! I would expect same for Model 3.
I have a 2021 Long Range Model 3 with Accel Boost. Difference between Performance and Long Range + AB is about .20 in 0-60mph and quarter mile. The 3.1* sec Performance is rated as 1' roll out. If you look at your draggy for your faster times you were hitting 3.3 sec with accel boost as your 1' rollout. The Performance models are sold with 1' roll outs compared to standard and long range models. The Performance quarter mile hits around 11.55 on average and LR + AB is around 11.75. The Performance sees that .20 faster time from 0-30 mph, but from 30+ mph they are neck and neck, in fact most times the LR with Accel Boost will finish the quarter mile at faster speeds in many cases.
The beauty about Teslas vs other EVs. The batteries are just so good. Launch after launch after launch 🚀 without depleting the battery. Take that Mach-E!
Best acceleration boost demo video on TH-cam, judging by your initial reaction, it would be heartbreaking returning it... better work extra hard for those dining room chairs 🤣
@@BeardedTeslaGuyThis demo makes me want to get it! And how cool is it that you found that perfect new unopened road that mimics a track to test it on, thanks for posting!
Bought and returned it. It’s not that huge of a difference. Did notice the wheels wanted to spin, but overall I didn’t need it. Power from factory is spot on to control traction. All the best!
I bought the 2022 model 3 performance. I just put on Martian 18" wheels and it is wonderful. Also, if you get the S3XY buttons then you can have one of them switch sport mode and stick it on the back of the steering wheel so it is right at your finger tip. You can also set it so that if you floor that accelerator pedal it will automatically turn on sport mode.
"You can also set it so that if you floor that accelerator pedal it will automatically turn on sport mode." That is an amazing feature. One thing I never liked about the permanent chill mode is that it would never switch automatically when I needed the sport mode to escape a dangerous situation. How does one set this up?
I bought my MYLR used recently with acceleration boost and for the first month had it in chill mode the whole time. I was running late for a golf round and figured “why not some extra power?” I switched it into sport acceleration and sport suspension and BAM! I was legit gitty like “What do I have HERE???!!” My head was hitting my headrest a bunch until I got used to it. Got to my round on time, albeit with a little motion sickness 😂
Did this with the mYLR, just didn't want the range hit of the performance version, or ride quality loss... win win for me. You lose a small bit from 0-30 due to the lesser tires compared to the performance version, but that's about it...
I just bought a Model Y LR, used my own referral code so I got 10,000 points for the shop. Was browsing it and found the $2,000 acceleration boost was available for 9,500 points! Which is crazy because for 9,000 points you would get a wall connector that is only $475. I understand the AB is basically free to Tesla to add to the car, but with referral points it’s basically free to me too. Debated it for about 2 seconds and got it!
Thank you for doing this! I was genuinely curious about the feel, along with the numbers. And if it gets enough views, this video can pay for itself, right? 😄
I’ve wanted to buy this acceleration boost for a while now but couldn’t justify the $2000 cost. Well with the new Tesla referral program the 10,000 credits I got was enough for the software upgrade
Nice to see you making lemonade, I mean, videos with your new toy. Have fun. Perhaps once you get enough views, the wife will be less annoyed with the purchase. For myself, while it is a lot of fun, there are too many higher priority things to spend $2k on right now since I'm in the middle of building a new house in Colorado.
Love this video. I’m in several FB groups and I’ve asked the same question as you. This is super helpful information. I’d love to meet you at the Tesla Takeover as well. 🙌🏻
Cool… I did this for my girlfriends model three last week and she loves it! I already have a model Y performance so she can barely not beat me but… Hey so happy to see you’re going to be at the Tesla takeover next weekend looking forward to seeing you again we met at lunch last year
I have had the acceleration boost on my model Y LR. I can definitely tell the difference, and a surprising thing is my wpm figure has dropped as well despite me flooring at every opportunity - don’t know how that can be so? My wife is also unaware. She always drives the car in chill mode, so won’t feel the difference 😊
Looking at the prices for new ones, a performance model y is only 3800 more. So the difference between that and a long range with performance boost is only 1,800. I think I'd go with the performance right out of the gate
@@BeardedTeslaGuy Yeah, trying to remember all the differences..."upgraded suspension" (for better or worse), carbon fiber spoiler, upgraded wheels, upgraded brakes, slightly better acceleration and top speed...aren't they headlights upgraded too, or did the make them the same again?
After a year with my Tesla Y Long Range, I was accustomed to the acceleration and felt it had more in it. I purchased acceleration boost and it really makes a difference. I haven’t made any measurements though. Is it “worth” $2k? The car was around $60k after taxes and delivery, so yeah, $2k is worth it in the same way $2k is worth blue paint and white seats.
Another way to look at it too is if you want to make any gas car faster, it will cost more than $2k unless you want to just completely void the warranty. So the fact that it's backed by Tesla as well makes it worth it.
Great video as always! My suggestion would be to buy the performance and skip the AB. Buy some 18" wheels and be happy with even a little more speed. The ride is solid on the performance model. That said out of the box like you said its a solid upgrade to get more HP & acceleration instantly without bolting on, wrenching, or time. Instant gratification = love it!
In canada we get $12k incentives on the LR ans 0$ on the performance, and that makes the performance 25k more. So for me LR with AB was the right decision. Depends on the market I guess
Strong disagree. Buy LR and you get a smoother ride, a higher ride height, 4 matching tires that can be rotated, less expensive tires, less expensive brakes, and a longer battery range (which absolutely matters). All of those things are perks over the Performance. The Performance is fun but you aren't flooring it all the time. The acceleration is great but after the fun wears off some, you just want that added range.
Nice tht the upgrade comes right away. Unlike FSD. Pretty cool got ur own test track too 🤣 seeing the joy in in ur face definitely seems worth it. Don’t see them ever dropping the price of this. RIP to your tires now
"The car can already do it. Why should I pay?" I mean while it IS just a software unlock, I justified it as an extension to the powertrain warranty. You're running the motors and battery at a higher spec, meaning they can't guarantee the same results as the lower spec. But for 0-30, it's practically a must for a Model Y. Without it, the 0-30 range is a little..."waiting to wind up" or something.
Remember that most car magazines and manufacturers report the 1 foot rollout time for 0-60 runs. Tesla also quotes this (faster) time for the performance model 3 and plaid model x and s. The fastest 1 foot rollout time you got was 3.39 seconds! A performance model 3 does 0-60 in 3.1 seconds with 1 foot (this is the claimed time. It is more like 3.2 in most cases). This means you are really, really close to the performance after this boost. It’s tricky how tesla uses different performance measurements for different cars to make the performance models seem faster…
Great video. Just an observation, you did the test on acceleration boost upgrade right after the first few test on normal. Not sure if you charge while you where back at home. If SOC is the same as the first runs, you might get closer to .50 second.
I reserved the model 3 the moment elon announced took almost 3 years to get the car.out of showroom into service about 5 years later still having issues with the vehicle.Tesla keeps trying to fix it but now out of warranty naile biting experience. But ill tell you what Once I was able to do the runs with it in the beginning the car in 2018 was doing 3sec 0-60. After several updmgrades they slowed it down and then were charging for it. Yeah. I'm still a fan of the car. But not really happy with my own experience with my car given the number of times and months in service since I took possession.Still today Tesla doesn't acknowledge that my car is completely defective.
lol I did make a short. She was pissed. When she texted me, she said she was on her way home so I started recording and she pulled up a few minutes later.
Here is some advice to you: * You must have the SAME STATE of CHARGE when comparing speed * Have the car PRECONDITIONED before you will do the test * Have every test for 5 minutes (or more) per run, so the motor can breath * Use the same track and time as possible * The pressure in every acceleration must be at the same level & intensity iF you can't do all those 5 very important pointers because of the weather or any circumstances, do NOT do it and schedule it NEXT TIME. (By the way, I have an S & X, and even though I don't have a TH-cam channel, I did all the things I said and it shows that getting the Boost makes your car faster than the base speed from the factory) Have a great day to y'all!
Just got a long range Y. I contemplated getting it but it’s not too often I just floor it from a stand still. I would be more interested in 30-60 or 60-80 time. If it made a difference on passing speeds, that would be great.
WOW, the Model 3 Longrange is a lot faster than the model Y Longrange. The Y is only rated at 4.8 seconds 0-60 and the Performance Boost will get you to 4.2 seconds 0-60 which is the normal the Model 3 has from the Factory. I am thinking I might as well get a Model Y Performance just to keep up with the Model 3 Longrange. Nice review as always!
I hope your wife forgives you! Haha, but I couldn't last more than a couple of weeks before I caved and bought the acceleration boost. Though I would love to go Model 3 Performance, I felt like the LR with the boost was the best bang for your buck while still keeping extra range and overall driving comfort. I couldn't bring myself to refund the purchase within the return window.
When I first got my 3, I purchased the boost. Then a few days later I got a refund for it, which they allow just one time. Maybe a month later I was really missing it and got it back, and haven't looked back.
That's what I did with my Y! It was the most bang for your buck back then. Now there's not much price diff and by the time you get the boost and wheels (a must for me), you are almost at the same price
Long range, plus boost, plus unplugged/monster/tsportline wheels and new tires. Ouch. But good ouch. Other choice is Performance, then the suspension is stiff and you need new wheels if you want to maximize range. You can do the comfort suspension, but there's that money again. Pay to play, just like everything else. But fun, though.
It stays with the car. As far as adding value that would be up to the person purchasing the car. It may not be an added value for that person. And if it affects the range much it could be a deterrent to some people but I'm sure there's somebody out there that would be added value
I'm considering it on my 22 M3LR. I don't care about 0-60 so much, so how does the boost feel at 40-50mph city speeds as well as highway speeds? Is the boost still very noticeable and punchy and worth the 2k if "at speed" is all I care about?
I don’t know where got got your numbers. MYLR has always been listed as 4.8 0-60 every time I’ve looked at the website. What I learned today is that my car is already faster 0-60 than I thought. …and my current 12.688 1/4 mile could go below 12.0 seconds with the boost!
Interesting video! I wonder if you ran better tires if you would gain better acceleration. Know someone with the M3P that you can borrow their wheels & tires for a video test? Maybe it is time for new tires?
Loved the video, thank you for that. I am wondering if there is any impact on range and watt hrs per mile in normal driving, after the boost is installed?
I wish they would run a discounted price of $1000, I wonder how many LR 3&Y's don't have AB installed if 1,000,000 x1,000 that a large piece of revenue for basically $0 cost.
@@BeardedTeslaGuy I have tuned many turbo cars especially Subaru Sti's and a Cobb Tuner/K-Tuner is ~$650 plus Air Intake/DP($1000) and adds about the same horsepower as the AB so $1000 is my limit, won't buy until Elon decides to cash in on the 100% profit the AB would yield at $1000 upgrade. I would imagine the take rate at $1000 would be 90%. . That would give every used Tesla LR 3/Y a huge advantage over the competition as a whole and increase the value of all the used LR/3&Y's. Do we have any information as how many LR 3&Y's have been made and how many paid for AB?
Tell your wife those dining room chairs are not going to make money from TH-cam views 😂
Lol

Hell yes!
Awesome video! I’ve wanted to get this for my MYLR, but wish they’d add “Sport” as a third option and not replace “Standard.” No biggie.
Kind of feel the same but this forces you to use it I guess
How does the standard compare to the sport, mileage wise? Did it decrease it or just the same?

It’s tricky how tesla uses different performance measurements for different cars to make the performance models seem faster…
Sounds like some sticky tires and this would beat the P...
As i suspected, 0-30 got quicker, 30-60 still is 2sec. At my model Y it feels that 0-15 is artificially slowed down, similar to chill mode
yea, its interesting to break it down, starts to paint a picture.
It made me smile every time in my MYP 2022. That hurts...

This is a wireless charging phone mount that no one seems to make anymore unfortunately. I love it though
Excellent video I wanted to buy the accelerated boost but tesla dont offer it in Puerto Rico. 🙃
bummer
Here is some advice to you:
* You must have the SAME STATE of CHARGE when comparing speed
* Have the car PRECONDITIONED before you will do the test
* Have every test for 5 minutes (or more) per run, so the motor can breath
* Use the same track and time as possible
* The pressure in every acceleration must be at the same level & intensity
iF you can't do all those 5 very important pointers because of the weather or any circumstances, do NOT do it and schedule it NEXT TIME.
(By the way, I have an S & X, and even though I don't have a TH-cam channel, I did all the things I said and it shows that getting the Boost makes your car faster than the base speed from the factory)

I contemplated getting it but it’s not too often I just floor it from a stand still.
I would be more interested in 30-60 or 60-80 time.
If it made a difference on passing speeds, that would be great.
it does, it adds general power access throughout the band.
6:57 lmao too relatable
I think we’ve all been here
WOW, the Model 3 Longrange is a lot faster than the model Y Longrange. The Y is only rated at 4.8 seconds 0-60 and the Performance Boost will get you to 4.2 seconds 0-60 which is the normal the Model 3 has from the Factory. I am thinking I might as well get a Model Y Performance just to keep up with the Model 3 Longrange. Nice review as always!
hahahaha love it! Any justification to spend money I am ALL FOR!!
I hope your wife forgives you! Haha, but I couldn't last more than a couple of weeks before I caved and bought the acceleration boost. Though I would love to go Model 3 Performance, I felt like the LR with the boost was the best bang for your buck while still keeping extra range and overall driving comfort. I couldn't bring myself to refund the purchase within the return window.
agree
When I first got my 3, I purchased the boost. Then a few days later I got a refund for it, which they allow just one time. Maybe a month later I was really missing it and got it back, and haven't looked back.
Nice
Its good that it got you and your wife talking 😅.
😆
Truth lol
That's what I did with my Y! It was the most bang for your buck back then. Now there's not much price diff and by the time you get the boost and wheels (a must for me), you are almost at the same price
Yea, prices have changed substantially since then
Long range, plus boost, plus unplugged/monster/tsportline wheels and new tires. Ouch. But good ouch. Other choice is Performance, then the suspension is stiff and you need new wheels if you want to maximize range. You can do the comfort suspension, but there's that money again. Pay to play, just like everything else. But fun, though.
got it free from a refer a friend now
I want this so bad. 2k can be a hard pill to swallow though. MYLR here
1 referral will get you enough points to unlock!
@@BeardedTeslaGuy wow really?! If only I knew someone who was going to buy one :(
And they didn’t have referrals when I bought mine last year
Did Tesla take away the option to redeem points for acceleration boost? I don't see it in the app anymore.
2000 for AB upgrade or 6000 for performance jump. This is hard to decide, when performance will give way more for it price.
With 1 referral you can get AB so the gap is even larger now
Thanks for the video, I just got some Tesla loot points to spend, debating whether to get the acceleration boost.
No problem 👍
After purchasing this package. Can you change it back to chill mode and sport mode at any time?😊
yep
Does acceleration boost stay with vehicle when you sell/trade it in? Is there any added value when selling?
It stays with the car. As far as adding value that would be up to the person purchasing the car. It may not be an added value for that person. And if it affects the range much it could be a deterrent to some people but I'm sure there's somebody out there that would be added value
so the model 3 LR with AB is as fast as a model y Performace. interesting.
yea pretty much
Hope you're not living in your faster MYLR now! 😅
Thanks for risking all to give your fans all they need to know!
Haha
I salute you brother. Hopefully your wife didn’t get too mad about the 2k acceleration boost haha
I'm considering it on my 22 M3LR. I don't care about 0-60 so much, so how does the boost feel at 40-50mph city speeds as well as highway speeds? Is the boost still very noticeable and punchy and worth the 2k if "at speed" is all I care about?
Nice! Even stock LRAwd makes me light headed.
yea, its fast out of the package
I sweat everytime and hang on for dear life when passing peeps.
do you have to change it to sport mode eeverytime you get into the car? or does it just stay?
Set it and forget it
It's too rough on the tires, but in a pinch, it might be good to be able to accelerate out of a bad situation.
How come my long range acceleration will take me from 4.8 to 4.2?? are the newer long range model Y's at 4.2 factor? mine is a 2021.. Thanks!!
That’s a model 3 in the video.
@@stiben718 ahhh oops thanks man!
This is a Model 3 LR
Acceleration boost is ABSOLUTELY worth it.
its a beast
Sucks it not available on my brand new Model Y from Austin with the 7680 batteries.
Yea, that 4680 Model Y doesn't seem like it's going to get it either.
I don’t know where got got your numbers. MYLR has always been listed as 4.8 0-60 every time I’ve looked at the website. What I learned today is that my car is already faster 0-60 than I thought. …and my current 12.688 1/4 mile could go below 12.0 seconds with the boost!
This is a model 3, not model y
@@BeardedTeslaGuy whups! I got so used to you being in MYLR.
Interesting video! I wonder if you ran better tires if you would gain better acceleration. Know someone with the M3P that you can borrow their wheels & tires for a video test? Maybe it is time for new tires?
Yea I would for sure. Traction could have been better.
Bro I hope you have one of those nice memory foam mattress for the back of your Y. U are gonna need it!
lol😫
Actually i think he created one and sells it. Lol X 2
Haha
Certainly worth sitting on the dining room floor 😂😂
lol
Wondering if better tires would make a difference, assuming you were using stock ones? What size rim/tire combo were used in this test?
Factory wheels and tires
Appears my Tesla 2018 doesn't offer this upgrade.....too bad
Loved the video, thank you for that. I am wondering if there is any impact on range and watt hrs per mile in normal driving, after the boost is installed?
I dont know what, if any, impact to normal day to day driving would be.
You need to get her the dining room chairs, man. Fair's fair.
Lol
What was your state of charge before and after the runs?
100% down to 90% at the end
Odd. I dont have the option in my 2018 LR
May not be available for first gen configurations
@@BeardedTeslaGuy Ah. that makes sense. I got all excited lol.
when you sell or trade in the car. does the speed boost give you ability to ask 1k more or so?
🙃BTGs kid hiding in the back seat
Haha I have 2 boys and they love fast acceleration!
I wish they would run a discounted price of $1000, I wonder how many LR 3&Y's don't have AB installed if 1,000,000 x1,000 that a large piece of revenue for basically $0 cost.
I wish they would too
@@BeardedTeslaGuy I have tuned many turbo cars especially Subaru Sti's and a Cobb Tuner/K-Tuner is ~$650 plus Air Intake/DP($1000) and adds about the same horsepower as the AB so $1000 is my limit, won't buy until Elon decides to cash in on the 100% profit the AB would yield at $1000 upgrade. I would imagine the take rate at $1000 would be 90%. . That would give every used Tesla LR 3/Y a huge advantage over the competition as a whole and increase the value of all the used LR/3&Y's. Do we have any information as how many LR 3&Y's have been made and how many paid for AB?
To infinity, and beyond!
heck yea!
