I got my model Y long range a year and a half ago. I added the performance upgrade as soon as I got home from picking it up. It’s so worth it. It’s like having a high-performance multi use vehicle. 39K miles no issues. It’s like a dream. I drive a lot so it really matters to me. Saving hundreds per month vs our Prius, that’s how good Teslas are.
The blue with white interior is my favorite match, I only wish for the light wood accents instead of the plain white ones, and maybe , blue accents in the interior, either by the stitches, and some other areas , what I really wish though , is for tesla to make a two level sun roof cover , one with a mesh (P.S. I also wish some door window mesh covers that come from top to bottom along the window and push against the door plastic to have a seal, for areas that have loads of bugs like mosquitoes or other small and annoying or maybe even harmful things like wasps or Australian critters.) and a reflective top with insulated bottom full top cover above the mesh that is made to reflect the light and heat and not trap it, I wish for them to make it automated for performance by default, but to be able to pay like $500 for the motorized version in the long range versions of Y and 3.
Great video as always, do you have any plans to do a range test on the new model Y rear wheel drive? Would be interesting to see how it compares to the equivalent model 3 rear wheel drive with the same lfp 60kwh battery pack. Thanks again
That is a more accurate video about the performance boost. You don’t have to reply when I say, I watched the CarWow video with your download of the boost on your car but after the download, when he went into the settings, it was in chill mode, but if you had raced in standard mode it would have been in sport mode. Anyway the video was effective and will probably encourage some to buy the upgrade 👍. Just a side note, I have a model y long range, which I received a few weeks after you and I had a BMW 3-Series in that light flat blue pull up next to me and start revving with popping and banging going on. I’m always in chill mode but I couldn’t resist the challenge so I quickly changed to standard mode and hit the pedal when the lights turned green. I heard him go for it with the engine screaming and popping as his auto box changed gear but it got quieter and quieter, I didn’t just beat him, I annihilated him. At the next lights he pulled along side of me with his passenger window down so I wound mine down, he asked “is that one of those model 3 performance Tesla’s” when I told him “ no, it’s a model y long range” he said “f**k me that’s f**king quick”. The BMW 3 didn’t have any badges on the back but wasn’t very old so I’m not sure if it was an M3 or not. My point is if your car was in standard mode on the first run I’m sure it would’ve beaten the Porsche Macan GTS off the line even if it didn’t beat it to the finish, it would’ve been a lot closer. Am I right? You don’t have to answer. 😂😂😂
Good video. For £1500 though you’d expect a substantial difference. You’ve got some balls doing that drag by the side of your office. Don’t take a lot for that to go wrong. Had a mini speed wobble a few times flooring it at the lights myself 😂😂 TESLA FOR LIFE
Do you have to inform your insurance company if you boost power? Usually more power means higher premium, and they might not pay claims if not informed about modifications!
That's kind of a scam. You already own all the parts on the car that allow this performance, they just "unlock" it. Reminds me years ago a car salesman asked me if I wanted the factory car alarm for $275. I opted for it. All he did was activate it. I already had the alarm on the car.
Are you legacy obliged to inform your insurance company that you have upgraded the car like if you have a IC car re-chiped or modified . Great videos keep them coming
Good video. I got a MY Performance in the UK due in a few weeks apparently. Want to come down and have some bits done with you guys. Look forward to seeing you guys.
Thanks, but those 0-60 tests are sooo boring. Already tons of videos about that out there. All I want is a proper test which finally shows the difference for real life situations. Like, accelerating out of slow corners, or simulating overtaking a lorry. Is the Y with boost still significantly faster or does it only shine in a standing drag race?
@@RSEV What I meant with my little rant is: what happens with the 40 to 70 times? (tbh I’m from Germany so 60-100 would be interesting to know, too). I’m specifically curious at which speed the boost doesn’t make the car any quicker. And it would be awesome if someone made a video about that, too.
I would also be very interested to see how effective the acceleration boost is for overtaking on motorways! I wonder if the acceleration boost is also as effective for example from 50-70mph so you can overtake quicker
We bought our Model 3 LR in March last year. So quick! Then I saw a TH-cam video of the difference the performance upgrade makes. I knew I was going to buy it, even as I told myself (and anyone who would listen) there’s no way the car needs it. Sure enough, I did. Immediate and obvious change. It was a no brainer. Spend the same amount on a performance boost to an ICE car and what difference will it make? Hitting the upgrade during the daytime just brought forward the inevitable - I would have done it late at night after a couple of glasses of red anyway... Cheers from South Australia! Love your channel.
The day Tesla offered PB on my 2020 LR AWD I bought it. I couldn't get a .6 second reduction in times for $2K on any ICE performance car I owned while keeping the factory warranty intact and being 100% streetable. Who else offers that.

@@lastnightsfavorite and your post contradicts the enthusiasm American owners exhibited when they discovered their MY’s were getting the LG batteries too 😂
@@maxflight777My comments with links of proof and search suggestions are getting deleted by the algorithm I am afraid. The US market never got the LG battery packs.
I've gone for MYP simply because the lease company my employer uses doesn't allow modifications, so acceleration boost would not be an option. I also like the red calipers and think the slightly lowered suspension suits it. Good practical information as always guys 👍
I think it was worth it. You don't feel like you're wanting for the Performance model. So you get the slightly better ride and higher ground clearance and save a lot of money.
We added boost to our Model 3 LR. Times went from 4.4 seconds to 3.7 seconds. For us leadfoots we love that difference - it brings our car up to the "kick@ss" level.
I've seen several videos looking at this. What I've gathered is that the added boost is primarily in the lower speed ranges. After the initial jump, the difference in acceleration levels off to negligible. I've seen similar results comparing LR vs the Performance. Almost all of the difference in 1/4 mile times vs the LR is gained in the initial 0-60mph portion of the race. No real gain beyond that. Whether you'll notice a difference in range apparently depends to a large extent on how you drive. If you are accelerating hard from starts, your range will diminish, and a bit more so if you have the boost.
I'm really confident to say that the advantage of the Petformance lasts up to 80mph and i would guess that the Acceleration boost would to. After that they are about the same, maybe evene a slight adavntag to a normal Lr with Aerocaps
Are there any insurance implications with the Acceleration Boost? I just bought our end-of-lease M3LR, so it's the first time I've had the option. I am so tempted, but it really is fast enough, and £1500 probably keeps me in electricity for the next 4-5 years!
I have the boost for the Model 3. It is decissively faster than without. Sure "only" 0,6-0,7 seconds faster but it is actually a rather high percentage so the car changes from being gently fast to punchy fast. I never regretted that update. The EAP on the other hand is Notre worth it in Europe as you have to confirm the lane changes.
@@renebergqvist599 That's all? In Austria you have additional to the indicator to pull gently on the steering wheel into the direction of the Lane Change. If you push to hard it will cancel AP. Very annoying
I suppose it is a nice addon feature, but unless I am going to drag race my buddies, Impress my friends, or go to a drag strip, what is the sense to having this little extra hp to do 4.2 seconds in 0-60 mph. If I wanted to do this I would of bought a Plaid S model. Now there is some Accel. speeds. Being retired, I just drive around town and not on any major freeways, etc anymore. What, am I going to screech away on every stop light??? I don't think so unless you want to buy allot of tires all the time. Isn't the stock setup fast enough with 4.8 seconds in 0 to 60 mph??? Also stock top speed is 130 mph ( battery drainer speeds). So how about the top end speed with the Accel. Boost. Is the vehicle any faster than 130 mph with the boost???? But I will say, all of you have fun with those that want to pay for this option and need it for some crazy reason. It is not for me!!!! take care.
"Traffic light Grand Prix"...???? You guys are absolutely BONKERS...! 😲 There looked to be literally only a gnat's whisker between the wing mirrors and you guys were having to stamp on the brake pedal at the end...! Just nuts... but great fun 😉
That traffic light Grand Prix was funny 😂. Got my model 3 performance on order which they say is due this month but we’ll see. Can’t wait. Keep up the great videos, they’ve been really informative to someone entering into Tesla ownership for the first time 👍👍
I have a steep drive … like many in Portugal. (Perhaps 21degrees) I’m not sure the approach and departure angles on the “performance “ MY would allow me access without scraping the lower bumper trim ! Acceleration boost is a good way of getting “half-way” there…. Towards “supercar” performance
We own a M3LR and a MYP, I think (it feel that’s way to me) that the M3LR would be faster at highway speeds than the MY performance. Obviously the Y performance is savage fast from 0-70 or so. Good video!!!!!! Good to see the comparison
I was wondering how much different 0-60 performance between M3LR w/AB and MYP. In terms of numbers, they are 3.7s and 3.5s (some M3LR AB owners reported 3.6s as well), so not that much different. Did you measure and compare them?
@@bhbae1 I don’t have performance boost on my M3LR but based on what I have seen it should be pretty much dead even with a model Y performance. Both around 3.6-7 to 60 and both around 11.8 or so in the 1/4 mile. I think the MYP would be a hair ahead to 60 and then the M3 would be a hair ahead in the 1/4 mile. Personally no interest in getting the boost, our M3 feels plenty fast the way it is.
Another good video however my Y will primarily be used for work and I’ve never had a vehicle that will do 0-60 in under 5 seconds with 4 wheels , so its plenty fast enough for me .
Hi Richard, when you did your review at the fully charged live event, you mentioned something about the air suspension on the truck & then said, ahh we’ve a video coming regarding that on one of our cars. Does that mean you’ve installed air suspension to a model 3/Y? If yes, are you going to be offering that as a service you can provide?
Awesome video, love the content and the comparison. I’m wondering what kind of impact this has on range. Does it decrease the range? By how much? Etc. again, thanks for the great content.
Another excellent video - great that you can compare the cars side by side. On the CarWow video, it seemed to me that the performance boost on the Black Model Y really kicked in a few seconds after launch. You then saw it pull away from Yianni's car. My M3P would have left the Macan behind from the start. Do you think that the power curve is a little different with the upgrade or does it just come down to the additional weight of the Y?
Tesla quotes the 4.8 0-60 mph time for the stock Model Y Dual Motor without subtracting rollout. They only quote the 1 foot rollout times for the Performance models.
It can do 4.8 seconds, literally dozens of tests right on here with it hitting that time. The model 3 LR has done 4.1 seconds and I believe 4.0 seconds with motor trend so not sure why these tiles are a little slow. Conditions I guess
@@maxflight777 low SOC affects the performance models a lot more than the LR ones however they are setup. The cold really doesn’t affect the acceleration at all. I would guess at 30% state of charge this car would still be around 5 seconds
@@raydoherty5419 cold affects acceleration. He stated these cars were at 90% SOC which is plenty to get full performance. Preconditioning the battery affected my Model 3 Performance more than anything else.
It’s worth noting some actually don’t like the fact that a larger part of PB. Is it makes casual acceleration much better but you have to learn to apply less pedal pressure, feathering it in.
AB just finishes off my Y. I totally agree the AB works well when combined with the suspension, makes me think the suspension was designed for the performance of the AB long range Y. My understanding is that the rolling pick up, 30mph plus is very similar to the performance, it certainly feels well quick! Can't quite get off the line as quick as a Y performance as the performance has bigger drive motors.
Didnt you do the boost on the black Model Y with carwow? Or was that a setup against the Porsche Macan GTS? What suspension mods are available for model 3 and Y?
I think I saw you touching your phone whilst in control of the car…. I thought that was now breaking the law. Even touching your phone these days is an offence. Even to see the time.
Awesome video as always Richard! I asked the service center last year about to uncork my RWD 2016 facelift S70 and they sent me a £600 quote. They would release 5kw battery capacity and would unlock the full potential of the motor. An extra 20milles range and a little bit faster acceleration was not worth for me (as the model S is pretty fast anyway) but probably there are plenty of people who are happy to go for it. To pay £1500 for a sport mode for Model Y? If it’s really makes the car as fast as a performance version, I think it’s worth it!
I've had mine for 2 days. But I'm already here. Hahaha... its only a 2 year lease can I justify it???? I've only got accesorys in my shop section no boost options?
Probably because you are not the owner of the car due to the lease but set up as a driver instead. Only the owner sees the boost options in the app while the registered drivers only see the accessory shop.
It was but since replaced because legality is in question… It was reflective and correct size and spacing etc but it seems a bit of a grey topic and someone even said adamently that on newer cars it’s now illegal

@@LocTran-ws2ip bigger wheels and performance suspension give a rougher ride and the tires are more expensive to replace. That’s why
Maybe you can find a proper place to do drag race?

Hi Richard, when you did your review at the fully charged live event, you mentioned something about the air suspension on the truck & then said, ahh we’ve a video coming regarding that on one of our cars.
Does that mean you’ve installed air suspension to a model 3/Y? If yes, are you going to be offering that as a service you can provide?
oh.... need the M3LR with AB too to get the full suite (and drop a M3P for completion)
Let's be real, its not 10k
It's 8k for the upgrade to performance
No one wants those stock 19" wheels :)
Michael ! As a MY LR owner … I agree ☝️
Love your videos Richard. I think you may have just cost me another £1500 when mine arrives.
Awesome video, love the content and the comparison. I’m wondering what kind of impact this has on range. Does it decrease the range? By how much? Etc. again, thanks for the great content.
Shouldn’t affect it all. Same speed needs same energy before and after.
And indeed my efficiency seems no different at all.
If you scared of range issue. Just put it back to chill mode
Lol. It's worth it cos Yanni got so confused when Matt upgraded the MY.
how does this impact energy consumption in real world use
£1,500 for 0.7 of a second… absolute bargin 🙄🔫
Jailbroken Tesla's get this for free but it's a bit finnicky with updates and such.
I saw the hilarious Carwow video... Great follow up!
Super comparison.
I saw you do this on Matt's carwow 😂
Will this upgrade help on AUTONOMY?
Why would it?
Another excellent video - great that you can compare the cars side by side. On the CarWow video, it seemed to me that the performance boost on the Black Model Y really kicked in a few seconds after launch. You then saw it pull away from Yianni's car. My M3P would have left the Macan behind from the start. Do you think that the power curve is a little different with the upgrade or does it just come down to the additional weight of the Y?
I was surprised how the Y kept pulling against the Macan!
Tesla quotes the 4.8 0-60 mph time for the stock Model Y Dual Motor without subtracting rollout. They only quote the 1 foot rollout times for the Performance models.
It can do 4.8 seconds, literally dozens of tests right on here with it hitting that time. The model 3 LR has done 4.1 seconds and I believe 4.0 seconds with motor trend so not sure why these tiles are a little slow. Conditions I guess
@@raydoherty5419 Cold batteries and low SOC ? 🥶 U.K.
@@maxflight777 low SOC affects the performance models a lot more than the LR ones however they are setup.
The cold really doesn’t affect the acceleration at all. I would guess at 30% state of charge this car would still be around 5 seconds
@@raydoherty5419 cold affects acceleration. He stated these cars were at 90% SOC which is plenty to get full performance.
Preconditioning the battery affected my Model 3 Performance more than anything else.
@@LearningFast a cold battery does but not cold weather.
It’s worth noting some actually don’t like the fact that a larger part of PB. Is it makes casual acceleration much better but you have to learn to apply less pedal pressure, feathering it in.
remember to turn off obstacle aware acceleration in autopilot settings for best performance
How do I turn it off?
£1500 extra to beat me off the lights 🤔
Worth every penny😊
what a rip off! the car is basically hamstrung from new and you have to pay to get what it could have had straight from factory
Does anyone know what happens with UK insurance when you apply this upgrade? Do they charge you more?
Oh if they added track mode to acceleration boost they would get my 2k dollars...
Well I guess you had to make this video since Mat forced you to buy the upgrade !!😂
Simple config update costs 1500 pounds. Nice one, Tesla... :)
Just a side comment, the colour makes a difference so these are nor identical! :-)
Great content, very interesting
You found the ‘cheat’ code 😂
‘YYYY up, down, faster, faster….’
The modern engine remapping :)
Had a few of of my old ICE remapped, which made a similar performance upgrade (relative to its original figures)
AB just finishes off my Y. I totally agree the AB works well when combined with the suspension, makes me think the suspension was designed for the performance of the AB long range Y. My understanding is that the rolling pick up, 30mph plus is very similar to the performance, it certainly feels well quick! Can't quite get off the line as quick as a Y performance as the performance has bigger drive motors.
Performance has the same motors, just rated for higher output.
They only include roll out on the performance models
Remember the times tesla claims are always with the smaller wheels available on the model
Didnt you do the boost on the black Model Y with carwow? Or was that a setup against the Porsche Macan GTS? What suspension mods are available for model 3 and Y?
Yes. It’s the same black car here.
Coilover adjustable kits are available for both 3 and Y. Even air bag kits too actually
Great video Richard. Bought this for my 2020 M3 - handy for those overtake manoeuvres you wouldn't attempt in most ICE cars !
I think I saw you touching your phone whilst in control of the car….
I thought that was now breaking the law.
Even touching your phone these days is an offence. Even to see the time.
yawn.
For the drag Race IT would look Nice with a drone shot
Be interested to see the difference from a roll at 50/60mph
Awesome video as always Richard!
I asked the service center last year about to uncork my RWD 2016 facelift S70 and they sent me a £600 quote. They would release 5kw battery capacity and would unlock the full potential of the motor.
An extra 20milles range and a little bit faster acceleration was not worth for me (as the model S is pretty fast anyway) but probably there are plenty of people who are happy to go for it. To pay £1500 for a sport mode for Model Y? If it’s really makes the car as fast as a performance version, I think it’s worth it!
🤣🙉what I like about Tesla is fun
I've had mine for 2 days. But I'm already here. Hahaha... its only a 2 year lease can I justify it????
I've only got accesorys in my shop section no boost options?
Probably because you are not the owner of the car due to the lease but set up as a driver instead. Only the owner sees the boost options in the app while the registered drivers only see the accessory shop.
@@BizzMRK tesla removed it as an option
which part of eastern europe are you from?
That had to be the funniest "drag race" I have ever watched
Remind me not to buy a car from R Simmons 😉
Definitely thinking about adding to my MY LR
Would be cool to check these cars on dyno.
When selling your Tesla, does the acceleration upgrade transfer to the new owner?
Yes it stays with the car
Off topic here, is the number plate on the blue model y a vinyl sticker? Is this legal and where can I purchase it from?
It was but since replaced because legality is in question…
It was reflective and correct size and spacing etc but it seems a bit of a grey topic and someone even said adamently that on newer cars it’s now illegal
@@RSEV Good to know thanks for the reply. I quite liked it gives the car a clean look. Keep up the great content! Looking to get my Model Y in October
Do you think there will be any higher consumption on the boosted car ?
Nah
What happens to range, when the acceleration boost? Same same, or less range?
Same
I'm glad that guy asked you
Thanks for that £1500!
iPads on wheels
Worth it!
