I went with the LR+boost. I'm in a cold climate and drive in a lot of snow. I wanted the extra inch of clearance, more comfortable ride, and whatever max miles I could get. Overall very happy with what I have!
@@SlowAsianDriver given the price increases over the past year, the price gap between the LR+boost and P is now only $3k. So anyone buying today would have to ask themselves what value they are getting from that $3k and if it's worth it. Before I would have 100% gone with the LR+boost as you saved $6-8K, but today I'd opt for the P given the minimal price difference. For anyone that may read this, just do a cost analysis and see what the price difference is before making up your mind.
@@ashegam The cost of the car may only be 3k however I too live in a state where we can get snow. Meaning I also have to buy an extra set of wheels and tires…which is another 3-4k. If you live in a warmer state and are ok charging out the tires ever 10k miles. Go with the performance no question.
@@ashegam Yes I agree with this hence why I decided to go with the Performance model this time around. I had the 21 LR Y but sold it off due to the crazy market for them early nov last year and immediately put my order in for a 22 MYP requesting it to be one of the 4680 structural pack from Austin. From when I initially bought my Y LR at $49,990, spending an extra $10k for the performance at that time made little sense. Now with the price difference being only $5k ($3k with lr + accel) you get the better looking uber turbines (which now have michelin pilot sport all seasonals), matrix led headlights, and the more powerful 980 motor. plus random goodies like cf spoiler and aluminum pedals. All in all, I think the value you get with the performance now makes up the difference where as before, it was too large of a gap to make sense (early 2020 stealth performance models were the same as long range they just unlocked the performance tune via software at the service center)
I've got the MYLR in Toronto Canada and I had points from my friend who bought a Tesla using my referral code so I used it to get acceleration boost and you get it for good and I did not have to buy it. Plus I have a 7 seater MYLR. Definitely better than the performance.
I just ordered a Model Y LR, I want the faster acceleration but I'm in Canada so we need extra ground clearance due to the snow. I'm really glad I ordered the LR version because I can get the upgrade and get closer to insane acceleration. This will help me outrun the polar bears when they are chasing me from my igloo.
Your article pushed me the final inch to proceed with the Boost on my 2020 Y LR. Just installed this evening. Been debating with myself for a good while. Can't wait till tomorrow and will give it a try.
I'm too cheap for the performance. Also, if I buy myself a $70k car instead of a $60k car, my wife is gonna want one too. So it's not an $8k difference it's a $20k difference. (she doesn't know i'm buying the 2k upgrade)
I went with Model Y performance, I got it for $53,000 with white interior and black paint. Original MSRP was $58,550. So I got for over 5500 discounted. The model Y Long range with the induction rims and black paint was only $1,000 cheaper. Yea would be nice to have more range but I choose for speed and looks over practicality :}
I just took my stock 2023 Model Y Long Range to the track yesterday. Best time 12.69 @ 113.5. I lost to a boosted Model Y and his time was 12.30 and the same trap as mine.
Just an update to my posts of almost a year ago. I own an MY LR with ab. It’s wonderful, much more fun to drive and own than the X5 it replaced ! (Though I miss the split tailgate 😂)
Chose the performance. Range is barely affected by the uberturbine wheels. Neither is the ride quality according to most youtube videos about it. Decided firmly that the overall acceleration boost and cool asthetics with the wheels and spoiler was the choice for me :)
Nice comparison video my friend. I have MY Performance on order now and at the time of order was only 3.5k more than LR. My only concern is the ride quality of Performance and hearing folks preferring the LR. What are your thoughts since you have both side-by-side?
If you have or had European sports cars like Porsche 911 or M3, you’ll find the MYP’s ride quality gentle. If all you have or had are Camry or Cadillacs then you’ll find the ride harsh. With that said, nothing beats the looks and handling of the 21” Uberturbine wheels on the MYP. ✌️🤙
More than $8K, because you will need a set of wheels and tires if you live in cold climate. The P is only available with summer tires so it’s another $3K. Had the AB was available, I would’ve went with a LR+AB instead of the P.
that's because Tesla raised the price on the LR since last year by $5K. Anyone who wants max performance and doesn't care about switching to winter tires or having 7-seats, the Performance is the way to go IMHO.
I’d select the LR version cuz of commuting, but Really like the sporty aspects of the Performance (factory springs, red callipers & Uber a turbine wheels)
I like the video, with new tesla prices discount and 7500 yax credit the performance model y is not eligible, Do you recommend to buy model 3 P or model y long range with AB?
If you want the fastest then get the M3P. Otherwise a MYLR+AB will do just fine :) Btw, I’m addition to the car’s MSRP, income also plays a factor into the $7,500 eligibility. Good luck!
Those 21” tires and wheels are going to be a PITA down the road because of the very low profile tires. Beware of those alloy wheel denting potholes! I feel the Performance model doesn’t differentiate itself enough from the LR Y at the current MSRP pricing. Except for the pedals the interior is identical. It would look awesome with red stitching on the seats and steering wheel. The new price difference is almost $11k between the two.
Don’t I know it about the low profile tires...I just popped one two weeks ago going 35 MPH on a local road. MYLR+Acceleration boost is the more sensible choice for sure.
Can you post the speed difference between AB vs Performance at 0-10 MPH, 0-20 MPH, 0-30 MPH, 0-40 MPH, 0-50 MPH, 0-60 MPH in a table format comparison? Thx
I love that you said you don't want to do another in depth review since there are lots out there. Lol. This was a very unique video and I love it. I have a totally random question. What's the tint levels on the LR? The performance looked like 35 in front but the LR looked darker. Also any noticable diff in kw/h usage between the 21's and the 20's? Thank you so much. 🙏🏼
@@SlowAsianDriver wow that's 30% on the front windows of the LR???? 😳 Lol it looked darker than that. That's amazing. Getting my MY in 2 weeks so I'm trying to figure out what I want to tint the fronts as. 🙂
@@SlowAsianDriver thanks for the info - my interest was *further* Boost [for Long Range]… but see the Long Range has hardware limitations, with its smaller rear motor than the Performance
Long range all the way, yeah Performance is good when escaping zombies but I'm not tryna be speeding all over town and draining the battery. I stay by a school zone and its not worth it.
Thanks Nick! Both my neighbor (it’s his LR+AB) and I (I have the P) get around 260 miles in warm weather (80% SoC) with our cars. In the middle of the winter we are around 230ish. We typical drive around 70-80 MPH on the highway and are not shy about doing a few spirited accelerations. Hope this helps.
@@SlowAsianDriver Thank you very much for your reply! That helps a lot indeed. So the conclusion is... Long range will not give more range but a slower and more economic solution! Thanks again!
For everyday driving you won’t notice much difference. You can always pay $2K and get the Acceleration Boost on the LR and you are almost as fast as the Performance. Good luck with whatever you decide :)
Nice video! still undecided! i heard that car insurance is slightly more affordable for the performance model, perhaps becuase of bigger brakes and tires that grip the road a bit more...the pragmatic side of me says long range...the artistic side of me loves the beautiful details in the performance
Hi Elise, the insurance are almost identical for both. Performance is slight more due to the higher sticker price. I do think the Perfomancr’s wheels completes the car, but do keep in mind that if you live in colder climate you will need a set of winter tires as the Performance comes with summer tires only. Can’t do wrong with either choice. GL friend :)
And u took off early on the other try . The performance is just a better choice 💙 in my opinion i love the extra speed & will be getting mine in one more week !!!!
I had to go through this decision recently. First I ordered the Performance. Then a week later I changed it to the Long Range. This was purely based on cost. I would have rather had the Performance. Now I'm not sure if I should purchase the acceleration boost upgrade.
Great video comparison I have the performance and I wish it has the booster option to make it even faster. Besides the acceleration, performance comes with Bigger Brembo breaks, better tuned suspension for track days and I will choose performers over regular trim.
Very cool review! A couple of tenths of a second doesn’t sound like a lot on paper but it sure does look like a lot on video. Everybody acts like the difference in range is so substantial, I could see if it was the difference of 300 miles versus 400 miles but it’s like 20 miles difference. I’d take performance 🤙🏼
💯. The pricing difference now is even less and the Performance comes with all season tires for anyone living in the cold climate. Only reason to get the LR would be for the 7-seat configuration.
You obviously have to defend whatever you have but there are honestly zero good reasons to go with the performance. The cost difference combined with totally impractical wheels and tires is more of a detriment.
You get the performance if you want the faster car. Everyone getting the performance is gonna have the cash to swap to different wheels and tires, and upgrade to a good set of coil overs that ride better then the normal model y and the performance. It’s a pay to play game, you want the better faster car you gotta pay.
Truthfully, while the Performance model is very impressive, the long range+boost model is overall a better bang for your buck type of car. Half a second of speed difference for an extra six thousand dollars is a bit hard to take when you also get: -20~ miles less of range and no winter tire option. For me the LR+B is the way to go. Good on anyone that gets the Performance model, but it certainly isn't for me.
Amazing that a year later you are still one of the only content providers who has this comparison. I own both the MYLR AB (2021) and MYP (2023) should I do a similar comparison video?
@@brianhersh620 I would just go with the stock autopilot. I would say FSD is the absolute worst investment you can make regarding a Tesla. It is far and away NOT READY for primte time. Just look at all the things like the summon videos where the cars drive over curbs. Factor in they removed radar from the latest model 3 and Y's so everyone just became beta testers on the new software in effect. Save the current 10k asking price and invest it. Or wait until there is a subscription version and try it long term before you buy it.
Does the LR model feel like it doesnt launch from a stop before and/or after getting the acceleration boost? Drove a demo Model Y LR today at Tesla and it felt underwhelming upon acceleration, more of a gradual increase in power as it gained speed. While the car said "standard," I am wondering if the demo model hindered any bit of launch. Performance model definitely pulls u back in the seat.
I just added the Acceleration Boost to my LR. It was already crazy fast before and now it's insane. I can't imagine how fast the Performance is. If you could get the Performance with the smaller wheels and higher ground clearance I probably would have gone for it but the roads where I live are so bad I would probably pop a tire on a monthly basis if I had the 21s.
Tires on 21" wheels are more likely to "pop" than the 20". In the past 2 years, I've only had 1 flat due to a massive pothole...and I mean it was massive...and I wasn't paying attention b/c I was on AP and drinking coffee...lol. Unless you plan on going off-roading, clearance isn't an issue.
Thank you for the vid. I have a delimma. There is only a 3k difference between the P and the LR. Right now id get 10,000 credits for buying a new LR. That is just enough to get the Boost for free. Should I save 3k and get the LR and use creds for the Boost. Or would you personally go for the P? Money isnt an issue, I can afford either.
If price isn’t an issue just go for the P…it comes with better looking wheels and a few other cosmetic items. P also comes with All Season tires now. Good luck.
@@SlowAsianDriver Thank you for the reply. I will prob get the P. You are right about that. The wheels and extra performance alone make it worth the extra 3k. Plus I can use the extra 1k discount I get from having the Cybertruck pre ordered and shave 3k off by getting a new one in existing inventory. Appreciate the help
Just ordered an AWD Long Range. For the premium and a few seconds faster 0-60, I can add the upgrades to the Long Range without the price tag. Great video.
Helpful video, but living in the Northeast it's not just snow. It's potholes too. I'd love to get the P, but I suspect leaving the 21's on in summer would even lead to a lot of blown tires and/or bent rims.
I like the upgraded rims and would have got them on my Y but they only came in 20" wheels. Sadly, too many pothole flats on 20" tires for city driving. :(
Great comparo,am waiting for my Y Performance after driving my neighbor's Tesla 3 with the recent $2k performance boost,delivery day is supposed to be before 12/31/2020...
This was great! , As a 3 Tesla Performance( Model S P90D, & 2P3D’s) owner, I am still debating getting a Y non P OMG for the first time 🤨 because I don’t want the 21” wheels and the acc boost brings it so close for most daily driving. I am also getting a Cybertruck and awaiting an X refresh. My builds are $53,000 non P vs $61,000 P about $165 more a month lease for the Performance , and it’s tough?!
I also have a Model S P90D w/ ludicrous and LR AWD Model Y w/ 20's for the wife - the LR is really quick (not brutal like the P90D but still fast) and feels super sporty. I think you will love adding the LR Model Y to your stable, especially with the boost Havent gotten the boost yet but now I know what I want for my BDAY haha!
It is probably the appropriate place to ask. Why is there such big difference in 0-60 acceleration if LR is 514 hp, other is 534 ho ? Difference sounds way too big
I bought a 2021 LR Red Model Y. I had it for a year and put 16000 miles on it. I just sold it to a dealer for $8000 more than I paid for it. I used the extra moola to order a Model Y Performance. It may be a pipe dream, but living on the East Coast, I am hoping to get it out Giga Texas. I heard they were starting off by making Performance Ys with the unibody. Icing on the cake would be a Performance Y with the new 4680 batteries. Like I said. Pipe Dream
Thanks for the great video and Review. I got the long Range with Acceleration boost don't like lower suspension and prefer the winter ready Induction wheels plus the 20 miles additional range is handy. I did a rolling acceleration test of 0-60 ~ 3.9 seconds which is more practical than a standing acceleration test and that is plenty fast. If I wanted a sports car I would get a M3P instead. This is a fast enough crossover but a hell a lot more pratical.
That’s awesome and congratulations my friend! My neighbors LR and my P both were built around Sep of 2020 and came with 75kW battery. I believe yours has the 80kW battery hence the amazing performance.
I'm getting non-performance Y with boost because if I went with the performance, I would need to buy new wheels and tires due to snow and crazy potholes in the northeast. I prefer 19" wheels for better range anyways. So with new wheels and tires, the performance package would end up costing me $14000 extra.. not worth it for half a second faster 0-60.
I have that very problem. Couldn’t even drive the MYP with a light coating of snow. Wheels and tires will be another $3,600. Ugh! But once the weather warms up, the MYP is a hoot to drive.
MYP! Easy pick for the wife. It’s a lot of fun to drive for a crossover. I wish it had a little more sway bar in the rear but besides that, no real complaints. She’s a rocket.
correct...the rear does get a bit unsettled into the corner...but with the new Tesla Safety Score I've been driving like a grandma...or slowasiandriver. smh.
Tempted to try the acceleration boost I've test driven both the LR and the MYP that MYP is no joke, but in the end I had to get the LR for the 7 seats. Wish Tesla offered the MYP in 7 seat configuration.
The LR with 20" Induction is vary little less than Performance and with the boost is the same. I like the 21" Überturbine wheels the spoiler and the red break callipers. I didn't even consider the LR maybe I am not vary practical :)
Well it is 2023, and I also went with getting the 2023 Long Range model Y. Not planning on getting the Accel. Boost at this time, but I can get it anytime if so desired. i don't see myself drag racing through my town. LOL!!! I got my Tesla to save some money on purchase and I like the larger hatchback style of the Model Y. My model Y has the HW4 and better quality cameras now. No plans to invest in FSD or EAP at this time. My daily driving does not require needing them - those I can also get at anytime. Basic Auto Pilot will do me just fine. Thanks for video. Take care.
Just ordered a MYP the long range with the black rims was only a 5k difference and if you add acceleration boost a 3k difference so right now I’d say how pricing is the performance gives best bang for buck if you don’t need the extra range
Those expensive tires will get chewed up faster in the performance, and replacing those high performance tires more frequently will cost more. Then you have cost of insurance being more for the performance. Furthermore, the wheels can get bent and damaged easier in the performance because of those thin tires. Those brakes don't mean much in the performance as regen braking is the main method of braking, you're not taking it to a track, its not a gas car. The comfort and smooth ride of the LR will win. in EVs, range is everything, especially with a degrading battery in each trim. LR is the better choice.
Ordered performance cant wait to get it says end of April will see. Took me awhile to decide but tesla kinda looks ugly in the price range or similar vehicles. And performance was just a clear winner in the looks department and speed is huge bonus.
I have a long range dual motor Model 3 with acceleration boost. Really quick but in comparison to the performance the performance is better because of the performance package such as Brakes, suspension etc. You need those with the extra power. I have had some close calls because of the braking. So when I purchased the Y for my wife I opted for the performance model. The performance was more for me LOL. Better braking and suspension is needed with the extra power/speed. My opinion based on personal experience.
The price difference between the Performance and Long Range is only $5k now. So if you get the Boost, then it's only a $3k difference. Performance is a no brainer now. Especially if you are planning to sell/trade in your car later. Dealerships don't take Acceleration Boost into consideration when they price out your car.
I have long range and honestly for me, the extra 10k is not worth the extra second I get in speed. I am already faster than 90-95% of the vehicles on the road right now, which is awesome!! I'm very happy with this car and I love it's radio system, it's superb!!
So do you think road trips across the US in the performance model are still stress free if you plan your stops to charge up? The performance model keeps catching my eye.
We just finished a 2,300 miles 9 days road trip. I’m in the middle of editing the video. The short answer is other than 1 incident on day 2 of our trip, we had zero range anxiety. I wanted to test out the theory that we can drive our MYP like a regular car. The only planning tool we used was A Better Route Planner (ABRP) b/c Tesla’s Nav won’t do way points. So if you need to go from Point A to B then C and there’s a Super Charger only between A & B you will have to backtrack before going to C. While with ABRP it will have you top off a bit more so you can make it to C. Stay tuned for our video. Will try to get it out in a week or so.
I have the MYLR and think I might just opt for the $2K NOS boost over trading up for a whole new Vehicle 🤣 I can always paint my brake calipers, buy a $150 spoiler and not worry about two sets of tires since I live in a Chicago and encounter snow and slick roads often - please confirm this would be the best option! Also love the music and commercial theme!
I went with the LR+boost. I'm in a cold climate and drive in a lot of snow. I wanted the extra inch of clearance, more comfortable ride, and whatever max miles I could get. Overall very happy with what I have!

You should race a Model Y Performance against a Model 3 w/acceleration boost!

This is VERY helpful. IMO, the boost for 2K is great for LR and still 8K less than P.
More than $8K, because you will need a set of wheels and tires if you live in cold climate. The P is only available with summer tires so it’s another $3K. Had the AB was available, I would’ve went with a LR+AB instead of the P.
I built a long range vs performance and it’s only 3k once you pay 2k for boost
that's because Tesla raised the price on the LR since last year by $5K. Anyone who wants max performance and doesn't care about switching to winter tires or having 7-seats, the Performance is the way to go IMHO.

30% tint meaning only 30% of the light gets through...matches the rear perfectly.
@@SlowAsianDriver Did you also add 70% tint to the back windows or did you just leave them without any extra tint? thanks
tinted front to match the back windows (they are stock).
So the model 3 Long Range with boost is as fast as the model Y Performance. Nice 👍
Very close.
Awesome races. Keep it up!
Thank you!
Thanks for the video
Thanks pal!
Do you know if the Model Y MIC ( for Europe ) will also have the acceleration boost option?
I don’t know. But given it’s a software unlock I don’t see any reason why they wouldn’t offer it.
yes we got the option now aswell in eu
Yes, it is available. I asked Tesla directly. Will be approx. £1,500 in the UK
Long range all the way, I never do 0-60 or drag race and range is king in EV world.
You are more disciplined than me…I just can’t help it…lol.
What’s the price difference for insurance
I paid less for my P than my neighbor...but I also have a 6 vehicles on the policy.
Do you only notice the acceleration boost on a stand still take off or on rolling starts also?
Significant difference in both standing and rolling starts.
thanks, do you know if they both have the same electric motors?
Wondering if there might be further Boosts in the future 💭
Performance has a slightly bigger rear motor. I doubt they will do a boost for the performance.
@@SlowAsianDriver thanks for the info - my interest was *further* Boost [for Long Range]… but see the Long Range has hardware limitations, with its smaller rear motor than the Performance
I would get the performance but I plan on towing my ATV and the lowered suspension and range loss probably wouldn't be smart!
Lol. If we always made “smart” decisions life would be rather boring. 🤣
Great video.
Thanks pal!
Great overview, would you say the acceleration boost warrants the $2k price tag?
Thanks pal! Yes, for $2,000 it's absolutely worth it. My friend's LR+Acceleration Boost wasn't that much slower than my Performance.
Is the boost available now? Didnt see it as option on website.
Yes it’s available. It’s an option you can add on the Tesla App after you get the car.
@@SlowAsianDriver thank you!
Long range all the way, yeah Performance is good when escaping zombies but I'm not tryna be speeding all over town and draining the battery. I stay by a school zone and its not worth it.

$2K is way to expensive for a software tweek that results in just a half second improvement.
How much to purchase AB?
$2K
Great video! I would love to see also a real world range test between those Performance and long range!
Thanks Nick! Both my neighbor (it’s his LR+AB) and I (I have the P) get around 260 miles in warm weather (80% SoC) with our cars. In the middle of the winter we are around 230ish. We typical drive around 70-80 MPH on the highway and are not shy about doing a few spirited accelerations. Hope this helps.
@@SlowAsianDriver Thank you very much for your reply!
That helps a lot indeed.
So the conclusion is... Long range will not give more range but a slower and more economic solution!
Thanks again!
For everyday driving you won’t notice much difference. You can always pay $2K and get the Acceleration Boost on the LR and you are almost as fast as the Performance. Good luck with whatever you decide :)
Informative video!!!
Thanks pal!
As of today, there is only a $5k difference in price between the Model Y LR and Performance.
and the Performance comes with Michelin All Season tires (instead of Summer tires only). ✌️
@@SlowAsianDriver I didn't know this! Thanks!
I get already mY LR. Thinking get a boost upgrade too. Performance has less range than LR.
It you replace the 21" Uberturbine wheels, it will have the same range as the LR.
@@SlowAsianDriver the 21 " give it more range?
@@brianhersh620 should be less
Nice video! still undecided! i heard that car insurance is slightly more affordable for the performance model, perhaps becuase of bigger brakes and tires that grip the road a bit more...the pragmatic side of me says long range...the artistic side of me loves the beautiful details in the performance
Hi Elise, the insurance are almost identical for both. Performance is slight more due to the higher sticker price. I do think the Perfomancr’s wheels completes the car, but do keep in mind that if you live in colder climate you will need a set of winter tires as the Performance comes with summer tires only. Can’t do wrong with either choice. GL friend :)
@@SlowAsianDriver yes agree the details are beautiful❤️Thank you!!
BEAUTY
And u took off early on the other try . The performance is just a better choice 💙 in my opinion i love the extra speed & will be getting mine in one more week !!!!
Congrats on yours! You are gonna love it!
I had to go through this decision recently. First I ordered the Performance. Then a week later I changed it to the Long Range. This was purely based on cost. I would have rather had the Performance. Now I'm not sure if I should purchase the acceleration boost upgrade.
AB Upgrade is 100% noticeable difference...my neighbor loves it!
Great video comparison I have the performance and I wish it has the booster option to make it even faster. Besides the acceleration, performance comes with Bigger Brembo breaks, better tuned suspension for track days and I will choose performers over regular trim.
Thanks pal! Fingers crossed that a boost package is in the works for our MYP.
I went performance and never looked back. Hey it’s a pandemic.
MYP rules! Love mine!
Just changed my order from LR to Performance. Life is short, gonna enjoy it 😁
👍💪✌️
You should look back when changing lanes!
how is the ride quality?
Very cool review! A couple of tenths of a second doesn’t sound like a lot on paper but it sure does look like a lot on video. Everybody acts like the difference in range is so substantial, I could see if it was the difference of 300 miles versus 400 miles but it’s like 20 miles difference. I’d take performance 🤙🏼
💯. The pricing difference now is even less and the Performance comes with all season tires for anyone living in the cold climate. Only reason to get the LR would be for the 7-seat configuration.
Performance all the way
You obviously have to defend whatever you have but there are honestly zero good reasons to go with the performance. The cost difference combined with totally impractical wheels and tires is more of a detriment.
Not if you live in Southern California where the coldest it ever gets is 45 degrees and get like 5 days of rain a year.
You get the performance if you want the faster car. Everyone getting the performance is gonna have the cash to swap to different wheels and tires, and upgrade to a good set of coil overs that ride better then the normal model y and the performance. It’s a pay to play game, you want the better faster car you gotta pay.
great video. i've been waiting for someone to make this. ty!
Thanks pal!
LR + Acc. boost is a no brainer for us living in winter climates :-)
Thank god I have two other SUVs...otherwise I would need to spend another $3,500 for winter wheels and tires.
@@SlowAsianDriver what are your other 2 suvs?
I also have a FJ Cruiser and wife has a Benz GLC300.
@@SlowAsianDriver nice
Truthfully, while the Performance model is very impressive, the long range+boost model is overall a better bang for your buck type of car. Half a second of speed difference for an extra six thousand dollars is a bit hard to take when you also get:
-20~ miles less of range and no winter tire option.
For me the LR+B is the way to go. Good on anyone that gets the Performance model, but it certainly isn't for me.
MYP now comes with Michelin All Season tires. I agree the LR+B is definitely the better bang for the buck…and you can get the 7 seat configuration.
Amazing that a year later you are still one of the only content providers who has this comparison. I own both the MYLR AB (2021) and MYP (2023) should I do a similar comparison video?
Bet the 23 YP rides way better 😊
I specifically did not get the performance Y because the LR AWD Y with boost would be close enough and it saved me $$$$$$ which I put toward FSD!
Is the FSD a good purchase?
If you drive long distance on a regular basis yes...otherwise I would wait a little longer. It's very good but far from being perfect.
@@brianhersh620 I would just go with the stock autopilot. I would say FSD is the absolute worst investment you can make regarding a Tesla. It is far and away NOT READY for primte time. Just look at all the things like the summon videos where the cars drive over curbs. Factor in they removed radar from the latest model 3 and Y's so everyone just became beta testers on the new software in effect. Save the current 10k asking price and invest it. Or wait until there is a subscription version and try it long term before you buy it.
@@wavshrdr8452 $199 month. Ouch
Does the LR model feel like it doesnt launch from a stop before and/or after getting the acceleration boost?
Drove a demo Model Y LR today at Tesla and it felt underwhelming upon acceleration, more of a gradual increase in power as it gained speed. While the car said "standard," I am wondering if the demo model hindered any bit of launch.
Performance model definitely pulls u back in the seat.
Longrange with boost and get the calipers painted myself 😂
But you’ll get smoked by a real P model 🤔
Especially after they release a boost for the p
@@00blackfrc don’t think they will lol
They aren’t just painted they are better calipers all around.
Having seen both, the P’s caliper pads are a little bit thicker…not by much though.
I just added the Acceleration Boost to my LR. It was already crazy fast before and now it's insane. I can't imagine how fast the Performance is. If you could get the Performance with the smaller wheels and higher ground clearance I probably would have gone for it but the roads where I live are so bad I would probably pop a tire on a monthly basis if I had the 21s.
💯. I already popped a tire on a local street a few months back. Enjoy yours in good health. It’s absolutely an amazing car. ✌️
My thoughts exactly. I got LR + boost for all of the same reasons!
How much was the "acceleration boost"? Does it hurt the range?
@@SlowAsianDriver do the MYP tires pop more easily? How has the car been since replacing the tire? My other concern is ground clearance being lower
Tires on 21" wheels are more likely to "pop" than the 20". In the past 2 years, I've only had 1 flat due to a massive pothole...and I mean it was massive...and I wasn't paying attention b/c I was on AP and drinking coffee...lol. Unless you plan on going off-roading, clearance isn't an issue.
I would get the Performance edition - totally worth it.
Thank you for the vid. I have a delimma. There is only a 3k difference between the P and the LR. Right now id get 10,000 credits for buying a new LR. That is just enough to get the Boost for free. Should I save 3k and get the LR and use creds for the Boost. Or would you personally go for the P? Money isnt an issue, I can afford either.
If price isn’t an issue just go for the P…it comes with better looking wheels and a few other cosmetic items. P also comes with All Season tires now. Good luck.
@@SlowAsianDriver Thank you for the reply. I will prob get the P. You are right about that. The wheels and extra performance alone make it worth the extra 3k. Plus I can use the extra 1k discount I get from having the Cybertruck pre ordered and shave 3k off by getting a new one in existing inventory. Appreciate the help
Just ordered an AWD Long Range. For the premium and a few seconds faster 0-60, I can add the upgrades to the Long Range without the price tag. Great video.
Thanks pal! Regardless which one you get you will love it!!
Your videos helped convince me to go with the MYP. Taking delivery late next week, super stoked!
Lol. Glad I’m a “bad” influence on your decision. You’re gonna love the MYP!
Remember that acceleration boost cost a lot of money and don't come with mags, the price difference is not so far. so I get the P too.
Helpful video, but living in the Northeast it's not just snow. It's potholes too. I'd love to get the P, but I suspect leaving the 21's on in summer would even lead to a lot of blown tires and/or bent rims.
Thanks pal. I already popped a tire in March 🤦🏻♂️. The roads are utterly horrible on Long Island.
Do u still have the performance y? I’m in Long Island too. Waiting for delivery
AB for sure... tires are cheaper than performance and nearly identical performance really. Much better value for the money
I like the upgraded rims and would have got them on my Y but they only came in 20" wheels. Sadly, too many pothole flats on 20" tires for city driving. :(
Great video man!
Thanks pal!
The purchase that I made was the model Y performance, because well,;why not?!,
Just want an range of 400 miles with an update…and it’ll have enough for me!
I like your style pal!
Very good video. I bought a M3LR, with plans to buy the AB. But it is already so fast, I have decided not to buy the AB.
Thanks pal!
Great comparo,am waiting for my Y Performance after driving my neighbor's Tesla 3 with the recent $2k performance boost,delivery day is supposed to be before 12/31/2020...
Thanks pal! Congrats and you are gonna love it!
This was great! , As a 3 Tesla Performance( Model S P90D, & 2P3D’s) owner, I am still debating getting a Y non P OMG for the first time 🤨 because I don’t want the 21” wheels and the acc boost brings it so close for most daily driving. I am also getting a Cybertruck and awaiting an X refresh. My builds are $53,000 non P vs $61,000 P about $165 more a month lease for the Performance , and it’s tough?!
LR+Boost is the more sensible choice. Just read that the S & X refresh may come out as early as March. Fingers crossed.
@@SlowAsianDriver I know the boost makes it a stronger alternative but Plaid X I hope is coming soon too
I also have a Model S P90D w/ ludicrous and LR AWD Model Y w/ 20's for the wife - the LR is really quick (not brutal like the P90D but still fast) and feels super sporty. I think you will love adding the LR Model Y to your stable, especially with the boost
Havent gotten the boost yet but now I know what I want for my BDAY haha!
It is probably the appropriate place to ask. Why is there such big difference in 0-60 acceleration if LR is 514 hp, other is 534 ho ? Difference sounds way too big
LR: 384 horsepower and 376 pound-feet of torque.
LRP: 456 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque.
That’s why. ✌️
i want to get the performance
YOLO! Do it!
i want the boost but i don't wanna pay 2k. i've tried dishing out referrals but no one is taking action LOL. i might just buy the damn upgrade
…you can always make more money, but can you make more time? 🙃
My choice is the Model 3 LR AWD +AB
I bought a 2021 LR Red Model Y. I had it for a year and put 16000 miles on it. I just sold it to a dealer for $8000 more than I paid for it. I used the extra moola to order a Model Y Performance. It may be a pipe dream, but living on the East Coast, I am hoping to get it out Giga Texas. I heard they were starting off by making Performance Ys with the unibody. Icing on the cake would be a Performance Y with the new 4680 batteries. Like I said. Pipe Dream
That’s awesome!
Thanks for the great video and Review. I got the long Range with Acceleration boost don't like lower suspension and prefer the winter ready Induction wheels plus the 20 miles additional range is handy. I did a rolling acceleration test of 0-60 ~ 3.9 seconds which is more practical than a standing acceleration test and that is plenty fast. If I wanted a sports car I would get a M3P instead. This is a fast enough crossover but a hell a lot more pratical.
That’s awesome and congratulations my friend! My neighbors LR and my P both were built around Sep of 2020 and came with 75kW battery. I believe yours has the 80kW battery hence the amazing performance.
Rolling 5-60 mph
LR With boost and 19 inch wheels will be more comfortable, plenty fast and you can fit a tow hitch.
This is the video I was looking for thanks man
Glad I can be of help!
I'm getting non-performance Y with boost because if I went with the performance, I would need to buy new wheels and tires due to snow and crazy potholes in the northeast. I prefer 19" wheels for better range anyways. So with new wheels and tires, the performance package would end up costing me $14000 extra.. not worth it for half a second faster 0-60.
I have that very problem. Couldn’t even drive the MYP with a light coating of snow. Wheels and tires will be another $3,600. Ugh! But once the weather warms up, the MYP is a hoot to drive.
MYP! Easy pick for the wife. It’s a lot of fun to drive for a crossover. I wish it had a little more sway bar in the rear but besides that, no real complaints. She’s a rocket.
correct...the rear does get a bit unsettled into the corner...but with the new Tesla Safety Score I've been driving like a grandma...or slowasiandriver. smh.
As of 6/6/2023, The YP has 21 in all season tires.
for the carbon fiber spoiler to those who wanted it, its available on the tesla store in the model y section i believe.
Tempted to try the acceleration boost I've test driven both the LR and the MYP that MYP is no joke, but in the end I had to get the LR for the 7 seats. Wish Tesla offered the MYP in 7 seat configuration.
I got tired of waiting for the 7 seat MYP and just bought the P. No regrets.
Same here, I really need the 7 seats.
PERFORMANCE WITH ACCELERATION BOOST PLEASE
I wonder why they make these cars so ugly? Why do they have to look like little minivans?
I don’t think the Model Y looks too bad from the side. The front bumper is a different story…it’s like a giant fly swatter.
Great job thank you . I ended up with the long range as I need to use the car during the winters
Thank you! I’m sure you are enjoying every minute of it :)
No snow in California
You can spec MYP with All Season tires now :)
The LR with 20" Induction is vary little less than Performance and with the boost is the same. I like the 21" Überturbine wheels the spoiler and the red break callipers. I didn't even consider the LR maybe I am not vary practical :)
Great video. I am currently driving the Model 3 Performance, but my wife wants a Model Y as well. I was leaning towards the Cybertruck.
Happy wife happy life…that’s all I can say 🤣
Well it is 2023, and I also went with getting the 2023 Long Range model Y. Not planning on getting the Accel. Boost at this time, but I can get it anytime if so desired. i don't see myself drag racing through my town. LOL!!! I got my Tesla to save some money on purchase and I like the larger hatchback style of the Model Y. My model Y has the HW4 and better quality cameras now. No plans to invest in FSD or EAP at this time. My daily driving does not require needing them - those I can also get at anytime. Basic Auto Pilot will do me just fine.
Thanks for video. Take care.
Just ordered a MYP the long range with the black rims was only a 5k difference and if you add acceleration boost a 3k difference so right now I’d say how pricing is the performance gives best bang for buck if you don’t need the extra range
💯
Those expensive tires will get chewed up faster in the performance, and replacing those high performance tires more frequently will cost more. Then you have cost of insurance being more for the performance. Furthermore, the wheels can get bent and damaged easier in the performance because of those thin tires. Those brakes don't mean much in the performance as regen braking is the main method of braking, you're not taking it to a track, its not a gas car. The comfort and smooth ride of the LR will win. in EVs, range is everything, especially with a degrading battery in each trim. LR is the better choice.
MYP all the way. If money isn’t the issue just get the the MYP. If you’d rather save money go the MYLR route with the boost.
Ordered performance cant wait to get it says end of April will see. Took me awhile to decide but tesla kinda looks ugly in the price range or similar vehicles. And performance was just a clear winner in the looks department and speed is huge bonus.
You are gonna love the Performance. Good luck!
@SlowAsianDriver thx i did get it for my wife but i have a feeling my tundra will sit for now lol
Ain’t that the truth…lol. I bought the MYP for the wife too…but now we fight who gets to drive it.
I have a long range dual motor Model 3 with acceleration boost. Really quick but in comparison to the performance the performance is better because of the performance package such as Brakes, suspension etc. You need those with the extra power. I have had some close calls because of the braking. So when I purchased the Y for my wife I opted for the performance model. The performance was more for me LOL. Better braking and suspension is needed with the extra power/speed. My opinion based on personal experience.
The price difference between the Performance and Long Range is only $5k now. So if you get the Boost, then it's only a $3k difference. Performance is a no brainer now. Especially if you are planning to sell/trade in your car later. Dealerships don't take Acceleration Boost into consideration when they price out your car.
Very true and Performance comes with All Season tires instead of Summer tires only.
Unless if you need 7 seats.
I have long range and honestly for me, the extra 10k is not worth the extra second I get in speed. I am already faster than 90-95% of the vehicles on the road right now, which is awesome!! I'm very happy with this car and I love it's radio system, it's superb!!
The price difference now is $4K.
@@SlowAsianDriver I purchased mine in March of 2021, that was the price difference back then. Happy my car has more value now, though!
@@SlowAsianDriver In the UK, there’s a 10k price difference. If it was 4k, then I would definitely get performance.
@@TamilEelam1 it's down to 7k now.
I purchased the performance in December 2023 and it dropped in price 10k for just 51k.
Totally destroyed resell value. 🤦♂️
@@SlowAsianDriver and it literally just broke down on me today. Isn’t charging. I’ll post a video on here about that
What happened? They usually can diagnose over the air.
With current pricing, the performance is the same price as the LR when you add induction wheels and acc boost.
What's the background music? 😬
It was one of my earlier videos and the typical music from canned royalty free source. Lol
So do you think road trips across the US in the performance model are still stress free if you plan your stops to charge up? The performance model keeps catching my eye.
We just finished a 2,300 miles 9 days road trip. I’m in the middle of editing the video. The short answer is other than 1 incident on day 2 of our trip, we had zero range anxiety. I wanted to test out the theory that we can drive our MYP like a regular car. The only planning tool we used was A Better Route Planner (ABRP) b/c Tesla’s Nav won’t do way points. So if you need to go from Point A to B then C and there’s a Super Charger only between A & B you will have to backtrack before going to C. While with ABRP it will have you top off a bit more so you can make it to C. Stay tuned for our video. Will try to get it out in a week or so.
@@SlowAsianDriver Helpful info! I’m looking forward to the next video.
Please consider also buying a Tesla S plaid 😂
If my wife divorces me, I’m moving into your living room. 😂
Chris, part 1 of the road trip video is up. Let me know if you have any questions. :)
I have the MYLR and think I might just opt for the $2K NOS boost over trading up for a whole new Vehicle 🤣 I can always paint my brake calipers, buy a $150 spoiler and not worry about two sets of tires since I live in a Chicago and encounter snow and slick roads often - please confirm this would be the best option! Also love the music and commercial theme!
Thanks pal. Yes that would be the best bang for your buck.
It was LR n Fsd or performance for me, I went with performance since fsd can be bought anytime in the future but you can't for the performance lol.
Performance rocks!
