    I’m fortunate enough to have a 24 MYP and an older Subaru Crosstrek. Totally opposite ends of the spectrum and the speed is wild on the MYP, but sometimes I do tend to get ‘used to it’. When I start feeling that way, I hop in the Subaru and it reminds me of just how powerful the MYP is because the Subaru is that slow in comparison. Make sure to get it in a slower vehicle from time to time if you can so you don’t get too used to the acceleration boost! Great video, thanks for sharing it!

    Lucky you guys had points to use. I shelled out $2k for my previous 2022 Model 3 long range. I drove it for an about a good 10 months stock before upgrading. I felt the difference. If I remember correctly, It went from 4.2 to 3.7 seconds to 60. I never drove in chill….I prefer to have the ability to dart out of a situation by having the full power on tap at any given time. Saved me a couple of times.

    They do it because if they sell them that way it changes EPA ratings. Any sticky drive mode (dosent reset when car goes off) must be included in the epa listing. In the case of acceleration boost, it would be the highest usage setting and therby be the epa measurement, which would eat into the rating. This way, since it is only an aftermarket add on, the setting does not apply to the ratings.
    Having driven plenty of fast cars I will say non boosted MY-LR-AWD smokes just about everything. It really is fun to drive Teslas, so glad they showed the world that ev doesn't have to mean slow.

    Help me understand in case I misunderstood. The car has strong motors capable of doing this but in order to actually use the motors that the car has you have to give them extra money so they can flip a switch with software?

    • @vegasteslafamily
      @vegasteslafamily  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes kinda. Which seems bad, but the car comes standard faster than most on the road already, and making a gas car this much faster requires more cost and labor!

    • @CHiTO316
      @CHiTO316 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Yes but you gotta really think about it. A $2,000 payment gives you over 100hp gain. Now compare that to an ICE car. You gotta pay way more because you have to pay for the parts and the time required to gain that much HP. People don’t really think about it

    • @johnsartain4160
      @johnsartain4160 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @CHiTO316 in an ice car, you'd be paying for equipment physical added to your car.
      In Tesla you're paying for permission to use physical equipment that your car already has.
      It's like all their doing is opening the door they locked for $2,000

      I’ve heard the performance version (same battery) has seen a slightly higher failure rate. Unsure if it’s tied to the higher draw or the sample size made the comment inconsequential.

  • @jazzmannca
    @jazzmannca หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I added acceleration boost to my M3 and did the 0-60 every single time someone got in my car that hadn’t experienced it. I am 100% convinced it’s the reason my battery had terrible degradation (over 15%). I sold it and purchased a 2024 MY. I have 5K miles on it so far and have yet to ‘punch it’ and charge to 80% 99% of the time and 5K miles in, it’s 247 miles at 80% which is 308 at 100%. So while acceleration boost is a lot of fun, the battery will take a major hit. Also the M3LR acceleration boost does 0-60 in 3.7 seconds where the MYLR only goes 0-60 in 4.2 so it’s definitely not worth it for me to buy it now.

      No. Current peer reviewed science demonstrates real world use (and specifically calls out the benefit of hard acceleration cycling) promotes longevity rather than what has been the default measurement of static linear charge discharge “cycles”. In other words, use it like you enjoy it-the “baby it” approach misguided pseudoscience.
