Tesla Model Y Acceleration Boost Put To The Test
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 พ.ย. 2024
- The Tesla Model Y Acceleration Boost upgrade became available just recently. With claims of increasing 0-60 performance by 0.5 seconds, it is a compelling option, even at $2,000.
We have the Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD with Induction wheels and decided to test this Acceleration Boost out. I wanted to do this as fairly as possible, so we ordered the Dragy timer to get consistent results.
We also picked out a half mile strip, of as flat of surface as we could find to test the Tesla Model Y LR AWD out with the boost.
0-60 times were tested before and after the acceleration boost. We did 4 passes before (2 in each direction) and 5 passes with the boost (2 in each direction, then 1 on the way back).
It's clear that the upgrade gives you exactly what they are promising. We logged all our times with the hopes that this gives you more detail on how the acceleration boost performs in the Tesla Model Y.

It's worth it. The wife loves the speed of her Long range with boost. This lets me drive my performance Y without her bugging me saying I didn't get her the performance.
nice
Test drove a performance Y today for the first time. What a car! It is insanely fast! The coolest thing was that we took our three kids and were amazed at how much space there was in the back and how comfortable they were sitting back there. The Y also has great storage all around and crazy comfortable seats. We’re getting one!!
Yea, it’s a fantastic car!
The best part of watching you timing your 0-60 times while having two car seats in your vehicle. Awesome, looks like this is the perfect family vehicle!
100%!
i have 3 car seats!!!
I just want to say that although there is a million people reviewing Tesla's on TH-cam, you are the person I come to for an honest and insightful review time and time again.. I truly enjoy your videos and trust your information over the next guy/gal!! Thanks Bearded Tesla Guy!! I think I am going to pull the trigger on this now.. I have been thinking about it for awhile... looks amazing!!
Appreciate you!
Oct 2 : We are not spending two thousand dollars on going fast.
Oct 4: We spent two thousand dollars to go fast!
Lol
I purchased the acceleration boost for my model y last weekend. I noticed the biggest difference was 0-30. Before the boost the car felt like it was holding back from a stop. Not the case after the boost. It JUMPS off the line. The car feels MUCH more sporty with the boost! No regrets with my purchase.
Yea it’s pretty damn good
Thanks for this as I think this is the key most will notice most as is the most useful when trying to get on the freeway from a light or bypassing some wacko veering out of their lane etc.. while most are all about 0-60 times, I think 0-30, and say, rolling 45-70 instances are more useful day-day.
There are many reviews of the acc boost. This is by far the best one. You were objective,and at the same time, you tried to explain the subjective feeling. Yes, this definitely helps especially in these situations: Should I get the performance when I just want the feeling of the 0-60 ( no wheels, etc) ? If I already have the LR, is it worth it to upgrade? Thank you very much. Keep doing these outstanding comprehensive reviews!
Awesome feedback thanks!
Test drove a MY performance for 24hrs and wow the acceleration was crazy and after the test drive and your last video the wife was on board and we ordered a non-performance one.
Awesome! Good for you guys!
Now that you have a Dragy, (and the performance boost!) would love to see comparisons of 0-60 times at different states of charge.
Possible...
I did my Dragy runs at 68% SoC and clocked 4.13 and 4.21 (no rollout), 3.90 and 3.93 with the 1 ft rollout.
I ran the 1/4 mile for every 10% rate of charge 20-100% on the Tesla 3.
th-cam.com/video/3Oc_F0gGPgU/w-d-xo.html
Charge makes a big difference.
Thank you for actually testing it rather than just talking about it like all the other TH-cam channels!
It was a fun test, but ya know, gotta be scientific so I had take one for the team ya know?
Really fun video. Yep, I took the plunge when it first came out and I can definitely tell the difference. No regrets for sure. Appreciate you posting the comparison video. Well done!
Ha, yea it’s fun for sure. Glad you liked it
Really Cool, as someone who would also go for long range over performance, this is a nice way to bridge the gap. Honestly 4.8 is plenty fast for me, I don't own a Tesla yet so my current vehicle does 0-60 in like 10 seconds, shaving that time in half sounds amazing!
It really is fast at 4.8!
Bought the acceleration boost today, after watching this video!!
Drove it around quite a bit, did a few 0-60 launches, highway driving, "regular" driving. I can definitely say that the difference is noticeable. I'm still very much on the fence of whether or not I want to keep it though. The car was already fast enough and with this, it's just overkill imo. After the initial rush and giggles from launching, I found myself constantly being conscious of lightly tapping on the accelerator to drive at normal speeds. I would literally take a turn, and before I know it, I'd look down and im going 20 over.
Hopefully I can determine a decision by tomorrow. Love your video!
All the best.
Yea, that sounds like my experience too. It’s awesome fast, but I also looked down and was doing way faster than I realized a few times. Just takes adjustment.
@@BeardedTeslaGuy Ended up returning it :( With winter coming here in Canada, I just couldn't justify the price point to get more a thrill when launching (and potentially more speeding tickets). Something I will definitely think about further down the line but i'm happy with the car as is. Afterall, if speed was my main concern, I should have bought the model 3 instead. Let me know if you decided to keep the boost!
All the best.
Love the way you expressed emotions from Tesla acceleration
It’s so much fun
On the day it came out on my Tesla app I saw it and said, "Huh, that looks dumb..... OK" money well spent! :) For what it is worth, felt worth it to me! I didn't want the other part 'upgrades' that came with performance, I live in New England, need the ground clearance. Love the channel!
Lol
i used to put turbo upgrades in my audis stage 1 or 2. this easy software upgrade is a must!
A lot easier, that’s for sure
Was considering getting the boost. The smile says everything :) thanks for the vid
Haha it’s a good time!
So nice to see that a manufacturer delivers what it says it's going to deliver for the price it's asking.
Agreed
I purchased the boost for my Y, even when iusing Chill mode it feels like it pulls harder than before. I replaced the Gemini wheels with Martian Wheels they are super light. I'm getting 4.1 seconds. It puts a smile on my face everytime I pull away from almost any ICE car.
I am a fan of those Martin wheels!
How fast was it before you added the Martian wheels?
@@coleboonecustoms 4.8 before the boost and Martian Wheels.
@@badimpulses17 So that's about $1K / .1 seconds for wheels. I wonder where the average sweet spot is for most performance enthusiasts? The $10K upgrade from a LR to MYP is $769/.1 seconds. The $2k .5 second OTA upgrade is $400/.1 seconds - which seems to be the greatest value thus far.
@@coleboonecustomsI knew from the get go not to order the Performance Y. I had a guy feeling the AWD Y would get the boost upgrade. 4.1 to 4.3 is faster than most ICE cars on the road I'm happy with my decision.
I am glad the acceleration boost upgrade did not disappoint you. Thanks for the video and enjoy the sport mode.
Glad you liked it!
I might've gone with the stealth performance option if they still offered it, but the city streets where I live would absolutely devour the 21" wheels on the Performance so I guess it's gonna be acceleration boost for me.
Yea, good call
You can do a performance with the 19" secret order. Just have to ask.
@@withdisguy6137 We've been begging our rep about any Stealth / Sleeper or similar ordering approach to get a MYP with Gemini 19s, but no luck. Please share any tips on how to get this ordered, order code, etc., or which rep we could ping to get our order changed over to it. Reminiscent of Chevy's COPO 427 program where if you knew the RIGHT dealer rep, you could get a Central Office Production Order (usually done for fleet / taxi type orders) to get the 425 HP 427 in a '69 Camaro (similar to what Yenko, Baldwin, Motion, Dana did back in the day). The things we gearheads will do to run low 12s (and not fracture those heavy 21" Uberturbines on real-world roads)...
Same here. We live in NYC and went back and forth and ordered the MY LR in July. Will definitely upgrade to the $2000 boost.
Performance has bigger wheels so it feels rough on the road, it has less range, I did the awd with the performance boost as well and I am happy .8 or less time on 0-60 isn’t worth 8k IMO
Agreed. Totally a good compromise!
Thanks for this. As someone who lives in a climate where winter tires are a necessity half the year, this looks to be a great compromise. The performance model has amazing stats, but getting winter rubber for those 21” wheels is not easy (and expensive). I suspect this option makes the vehicle plenty fast to have fun in, and winter tire options for the 19/20” tires is much easier. Awesome stuff BTG. Happy to be subscribed.
Cheers! Just so you know, I have been doing the digging on winter setup and the cost difference on the 20” induction compatible and 19” Gemini compatible tires is about $100...each! Super expensive for induction, just regular expensive for Gemini.
@@BeardedTeslaGuy looks consistent with my research, albeit north of the border. About $120-140 more per winter tire going from 19 to 20.... decisions decisions! The 20s look nice but.... 🤔
I’d love to see you re-run this test with a model Y long range with performance boost that has the Michelin pilot sport 4S tires that the model Y performance has and see how much more of a gain you get. Great info in this video, thanks!
Cheers
Now that you’ve had it a while, what’s your long term view of the speed boost upgrade?
you will get used to in in a week.
Never made a better purchase. I love it! Had it for over a year.
Awesome job comparing the upgrade with the regular LR AWD. At $2,000 its not cheap but I know I'll probably upgrade eventually haha.
Yea it’s one of those things. It’s just sitting there staring at you. How do you hold out forever?!?!
I was on the fence about this; then I thought "BTG will more than likely be doing a review in the near future, I'll let him make my mind up for me". Thank you
hahaha
Too many videos about this topic but this one are very usefull and clarify. Great work!
Glad you liked it!
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. Made me smile.
Really glad you liked it!
I have those same RayBans....very nice. Great video and keep doing them. I really like your analysis and reviews. You helped me make my purchasing decision to get a Model Y and I’m extremely happy with the car! Also have the acceleration boost and totally agree it’s worth the 2k as an alternative to the Performance model.
Thanks so much, and yes, they are great glasses!
Getting my performance may 2022….good video..
Awesome congrats!
I’m writing this a year later but you should really try a Model 3 Performance. I goose mine ALL TIME. I’ve been trying to drive in chill mode more often but sometimes after a bad day at work it makes the commute home that much more fun.
M3 performance is a BEAST
I hope they can do something like this for the dual motor cybertruck truck.
I’m sure they will. Easy money for them
.8 sec slower than the Performance. Not bad! Totally worth it and you don’t have to get the rough riding 21” wheels and the lowered suspension. Awesome.
Totally agree! That is honestly the glaring drawback to the performance. The stealth was a great compromise, but not at the same price as the full performance. This is good middle ground.
It's actually faster than that. Tesla does rolling 0-60 tests on their PUP models and dead stop tests on everything else, and many users have reported acheiving as low as 3.9s with roll starts. In fact, even without the acceleration boost, I've seen people beat the boosted time getting as low as 4.2s. So it's really only 0.4s slower.
The genius behind tesla is that they don't need to pay for advertising when everyone youtube is doing it for them.
Love my Model Y, pretty sure i'm going to upgrade to this too.
Lol probably true
Nice job !! (Answered the question in totally thorough fashion!)
Glad you liked it!
I thought the MY was fast, until I tried a MS, lol. Holy cow.
Yea, a P model S is stupid fast!
Oh by the way I love your calming nspirational music at the end of every video :), aanndddd... I ordered my model Y 3 weeks ago, and hopefully will get it by Christmas!
So awesome, congrats and fingers crossed for a very happy Christmas indeed!
I added Acceleration Boost to my Model 3 Dual Motor. The seat of the pants improvement is fantastic! Have fun!
It’s fun for sure
It’s great to see you having so much fun!!!
I felt like a giddy kid. My wife was annoyed by how giggly I was when i got home lol
Bearded Tesla Guy I’m a giddy owner of a white MY LRAWD...this car makes me smile as soon as I’m behind the wheel!! I get really giddy when I use summon to move it out of the garage. Neighbors are like 😱
Thank you for providing great content and managing expectations for what I still consider a start up company. People forget the junk US ICE manufacturers produced for years. That’s what gave us the lemon law! Give Elon a break people..guy is trying super hard to change the world.
Dude you tended to layoff the gas right before 60 sometimes on the initial runs watching the speedometer and anticipating it. . ;)
Uh oh...
@@BeardedTeslaGuy haha great vids and thanks for this as my Y comes in the next few weeks and I am paying the $2k the first day I get it! :) Your vids have been valuable and I used your referral profile for 1k miles. Thanks!
my fav tesla content creator!
Cheers!
Isn't live fun since Tesla came along!! Great video..smiled so much.
I meant life!
Yes, life is fun in a Tesla. I just remember the days of the Prius and the first real EVs and how slow they were. Tesla has changed the game for sure.
That's fantastic, I wonder will this option be available in Ireland when it arrives in early 2022. Great video
Sure hope so! It’s fun!
Well well well. I search MY accel boost and looks who it brings me to first xD After this I am definitely buying this upgrade now.
haha
i love spacex..we visited Boca Chica site last Oct. 2020 we loved it. I've ordered the tri motor cybertruck fsd and i can't wait. i may buy they y or s in the meantime? got lots of solar & backup battery to charge them.
That’s awesome
Thank you for the most excellent test! I have referral credits that'll pay for AB so seriously considering it.
Fantastic!
You just sold me the model Y haha! I’ll have to wait for giga Berlin to start producing before I can get mine.
I sure hope that new battery pack will push it even closer to 4sec or just below. Thnx for the upload!
Yea, the next gen batteries are going to change the game
Excellent description of how it feels. Thxs!
Cheers
you do the best Tesla reviews. great work.
Very kind, thanks for stopping by!
oh! btw... looking at this quantatatively.. one thing to consider re: LR vs. PERF... the PERF you get the wheels included, whereas LR you have to select the inductions, +$2000. then the boost is +2000. So it's a $6000 difference. But even then, its a .8 second difference between 3.5 and 4.3... at $2000 per .5 seconds, then, the $6000 price tag doesn't equal the increase in speed. of course, you get brake calipers and small extras, but you get worse range and the warm weather tire restriction. Looks like value for money, LR AWD boost + inductions is the way to go for sport feel and utility.
Seems odd that they would charge for what is simply flipping a few bits in the ECU. With petrol cars many times there are hard bits required which is why they cost money to make faster.
Yea, plenty of aftermarket tunes on ICE cars that do the same thing, simple recalibration. It’s just a simpler process with electric because it’s how much voltage it pushes through.
It's the same reason any software costs money - you're not paying for the distribution, you're paying for everything else. It's not free for Tesla to provide this to you - there are costs primarily around the motors needing to be replaced under warranty and the R&D of making the motors capable of achieving that acceleration. If they provided these "for free" to everyone, that would require a higher base price and it wouldn't be free, just included. It would be cheaper for those who want it, but more expensive for those who don't. So charging is more about offering the choice of NOT having the boost for cheaper.
Thanks for this video on this addon. It is now August 2023, I will be getting the 2023 Model Y long range in a few days from now.
As you say, is this really worth the additional Accel. boost for me???
For right now, I am going to be so involved with learning my new Model Y, so the Accel. Boost is at my bottom of the list of things to have.
Will I ever get this Accel. Boost in the future just to do one half second faster?? Still trying to justify why I really need to go that fast if I am not planning to drag race anybody. If I really wanted to impress someone, I would of gotten the Plaid S model for Drag Racing.
It is the same for even having EAP or FSD features. Being retired, I don't have to impress my friends with these options. Just showing them my Tesla Model Y long range vehicle will be impressive enough.
take care.
cheers
Welp, it’s less expensive than the Performance model...
Lol
Elon should let users test this feature before buying it. Think it will reel a lot of people in. Great video man!
You sort of can - there's a 48 hour 1-click refund option if you don't like it.
@@electrified0 oh that sounds great! I better try when my baby arrives. Ty
Well, we had 48 hours to cancel for refund, so that's your trial
At this point I don’t really look at it as a $10K difference. Now that you have the performance boost and opted for the 20” wheels it makes it closer to a $6K difference. Still cheaper but definitely creeping closer to the cost of the performance model. Might be the perfect middle ground between them.
Yea, I think it’s a good compromise for the performance without pissing off performance owners that spent the money. Keeps it just enough slower
Keep in mind that the 10k to get the MYP is NOT sunk costs. You will get a pro rata share of it back when you sell. Heck, even the 2k is not 100% sunk costs for the .5 s upgrade because you will get a pro rata share of it back in the form of greater resale value.
"Oh my goodness". They need to just include this.
Haha, it would be nice!
Having bought and returned here are my thoughts. You can definitely feel the acceleration all the way through. The pedal resistance feel stronger and less spongy. I believe the the price point is off. At 1000-1500 I’d be more inclined to keep it. Additionally I think they should have added a new button vs renaming an existing button in acceleration setting I.e. chill, standard, sport. Having this would allow me to more easily feel the difference
I agree, but maybe that’s why they don’t do it? So you can’t go back and forth with a marginal feel? I don’t know, just a thought
Thanks for this video.. I think Acceleration boost is definitely worth it IMHO ! I was originally planning to get the induction wheels upgrade for 2K but I would rather have the Gemini and use 2K for this upgrade..
It’s a lot of fun!
I'm planning to get the Gemini wheels and have them painted black for $600. 👌
@@imyourdj or get aero pi wheel covers (they come in black only) for 288 bucks, forget painting your OEM wheels or gemini covers
Thanks for the video man I’m sold I’m getting the long range! I’d rather spend that money getting the self drive feature first instead of the performance. Then maybe get the boost later 👍🏾
It’s fun
Thanks for the review. I was hoping that it would feel like more acceleration starting from 0 but you stated that it don't feel much different until 20-60 MPH. Helped me decide to spend $2,000 on Y accessories for now instead of the boost.
You are welcome. I’m glad it was helpful!
Took the words right out of my mouth... There were a few sacrifices with ride, rim size, range (arguably) that I did not feel added valve (at least not 10K) with the performance version. Thanks for the video, with the 48hrs return policy... how about a FSD comparison.....
Lol...how about we wait for the subscription model instead? Haha
I just ordered the performance Model Y that has 0 to 60 in 3.5 sec. I'm scared!
Awesome for you! Enjoy the hell out of it!
I've got the MYP, best decision I've ever made!
@@AKTechIT Is it like a rocket?
@@chyldstudios if you have ever driven a Ferrari or supercar, the takeoff feels just as fast up until about 90 miles per hour and then it starts to run out of steam
The only thing to fear is the tire bill.
In one of your previous videos you said you might not get the boost upgrade. What made you change your mind? I know you were debating the price in that video. The video was fun to watch! Thank you for sharing your experience!
So what exactly did Tesla change? Motor pulse rate modulation (PRM)? Were they holding the Y back so they could make the increase later? What is the practical application or is it simply a good feeling? I drove to and from Dayton almost totally in Autopilot (~100 miles) - love this car!!! Didn't feel the need for more speed.
It’s all just acceleration, or how fast the motor RPMs ramp up. It was software unlock to spin faster. No application other than going faster. You’d not ever feel it in autopilot or any normal driving situations. Only during full acceleration.
Would've loved to see more practical accelerations differences. Like 30 - 60
Maybe I can get that next time.
Do the math dweeb
Soooooo, does Tesla also provide at least a half-length red line to place under the rear DUAL MOTOR plate?
Haha, no that’s custom only lol
On the other hand people worry about repeatability in tesla. 4 drags without any problems. Good job
Yea it was very consistent
Old Model S had repeatability issues. New cars don’t for the most part.
Great video! I have one question. Your long-range is estimated to have a 326 mile range. The performance has a 303 mile range. Do you know what or any effect the boost did on the range?
No known direct impact on range. Only pulls when you floor it
@@BeardedTeslaGuy What has been the ACTUAL, real world range from the Model Y LR in your experience?
It would be nice if an acceleration timer was built into the car. Nice demo! Did you get a little motion sickness?
No motion sickness for me
Thanks for the great show of how the boost works !’
Glad you liked it!
I am debating putting it on ours but not having my car for now 2 weeks I forget how it even feels. I have been using their loaners for 2 full weeks at this point and it is almost crazy. I miss having mine as I have only had it 6 days before they took it back to get the alignment issues fixed. It is so funny how the salespeople and the delivery people say it all meets speck but there is no way mine would have met any approved speck. Even the guy was like ya that needs to be fixed when I finally had my appointment 15 days ago. I have had 3 loaner Model S and 2 of those where from Enterprise 1 was an old Tesla that the shop had. Hoping I get my car back today but it keeps being delayed. It was supposed to be the 30th of last month then yesterday then this morning then who knows. I kind of want it but I also have heard it will burn through tires that much faster and at 450 a tire I am not sure I want to burn through them very fast. They said that the tire is softer so it won't make as much noise so to stay away from others that are not made for Electric Vehicles as it will make a lot more noise.
What a bummer experience so far. But trust me, worth getting it all fixed now rather than along the way. Hope you’re back on the road soon!
Hey, post a video in a week and tell us how much difference you feel in your daily drive. Also noticed that it replaced Standard acceleration with Sport mode. Does it make you use Chill mode more since Sport is too sporty?
All to be determined if the wife lets us keep the boost
Yes in incline weather
I need to research this further. I heard they were using performance motors in 2023 MY dual motor long range and therefore this boost unlock is even faster.
Whether they are using the Performance motors or not, the upgrade will only unlock the same improvement. It has been "downgraded" to the LR performance numbers if indeed it has Performance motor.
You definitely looked to be having a lot of fun - is there a performance model in your future?
I just can’t get there for 10k. Winters are harsh enough without the performance suspension. But I tell you what, I was having a BLAST
Just ordered my 2021 Model Y today! I was on the fence between performance and long range, but went with long range. I'll definitely be doing this addition haha! Did you notice any decrease in range with normal driving?
As long as you don’t get into the accelerator too much, you’ll have the same range and efficiency
I’m on the fence between the long range and performance. I wish you could upgrade say $6k and get 3.5s without needing to buy the 21” wheels and lowered suspension, which worries me about ride quality. I think 21 inch wheels takes away and doesn’t help the decision.
@@StevenFalkner I'm on the same fence, pulled the trigger on 3/10 for LR 20" and will b adding the A. Boost
With this package - Is there any noticeable difference for higher speed ranges over the stock ? like 40MPH to 80MPH ?
Yes
Such a great video thank you
$2K for a half second improvement is outrageous for any vehicle.
Do you notice a big difference with the acceleration boost driving at speeds when you need that quick acceleration when needed? Or is it just for a 0-60 boost?
Yea, you can feel it.
Question: nice video. But what about when you're on the fwy going say 70mph and you hit the pedal. Any difference then? Thank you
Yes, you can feel the difference
If you buy the upgrade, does it stay with the car if you sell your car in the future? And will there be future free update s towards speed accceleration?
Stays with the car so you’d have to buy it again on a new car
Thanks for the fun video - Unfortunate that Tesla are charging us to take maximum advantage of the hardware we already paid for. The "tuning" of an ICE car costing money doesn't really compare because you're adding materials chips, exhaust, or whatever, (as well as typically invalidating your warranty). This should be a value add from Tesla at no charge. It's the same as when I upgraded my Tesla Model S 85D to a 100D and LOST self parking because Tesla moved it into the Full Autonomy pkg. Sad. So my upgrade was also a downgrade of cameras and intelligence I already paid for. In the end I can't help but feel like this Accel Boost upgrade was always something they would offer - as if they initially throttled the car with plan to later take the restraints off to capture revenue.
Yes, good with the bad I suppose
Shout out Bearded Tesla! great video. One question that nobody has answered. "DOES SPEED BOOST KILL YOUR RANGE?" Do you get similar range as the performance model? do you still get LONG RANGE MODEL range if driven sensibly or not? Lots of unanswered questions that could make a great video.
Still get the same efficiency when driving normally. You only pull more power/get less range when you romp it all the time.
My Model Y was finally delivered on 1st May and so far I am enjoying it. My Model Y lr takes between 4.4 - 4.5 seconds to 60mph WITHOUT acceleration boost. Wondering if I buy acceleration boost will it still cut the 0-60 time by .5 seconds?
Yes, it adds enough power to reduce that time by .5 seconds.
@@BeardedTeslaGuy wow then it will bring it down to 3.9 to 4 seconds. Tempting.
What! I thought your wife said no to this upgrade? 😁 It seems worth it to me. So much fun!
It is so much fun. She agreed to try the 48 hour return window.
1/4 mile time w boost? I have Y w boost & love it but can’t find drag or tested 1/4 time. I’m guessing 13sec.
Yea, I couldn’t find a safe place to do it.
Was this with the 1 foot roll out? And why can't I buy Upgrades from the car's display? Am I missing something?
It was a standstill. The upgrade is in the app, not the display.
For the 2K why not just get the Performance? Its not much change for the payment
Less range, stiffer ride, no 7 seat option
Bought my long range for almost 10k cheaper at the time
How much is the difference for 0 - 100 km/h (=62 miles/h)?
Probably a similar .5 sec faster
Is the acceleration boost available on the 2021 Model Y Long Range? I just ordered a new car but didn't see any upgrade options in the order process.. I did see the FSD option for 10K
I don't think I can personally justify the 10K for performance model but I would take the acceleration boost upgrade to the long range model
You add the acceleration boost through the app after you take delivery
Please can you do the quarter mile test ? NO ONE IS posting the quarter mile difference.
If I had a safe place to do it, I’d probably do it.
I ran 12.26 @ 113mph on the Dragy
@@asianguywithacamera is that from a dead stop?

Question... Did you measure the Quarter mile time with the added Boost? Or did I over look it in the video? 🤔
No, there wasn’t enough space to do it safely unfortunately.
@@BeardedTeslaGuy hopefully u can swing those stats... I'm curious to see even though I'm more excited about the 0 to 60... That's crazy quick now. Congrats. Hopefully I can get one soon.
So the conversation the other day about NOT getting the .5 seconds with the Happy Wife, Happy Life was dismissed and Fuzzy Bearded Bliss has ensued.
Haha, she agreed to try the 48 hour window. No guarantees we can keep it
Bearded Tesla Guy How does the 48 hour window work? Is there an easy way to cancel the order if you decide you don’t want to keep it? That would be a great way for me to try it out without a solid commitment.
Yep, it’s under purchases, shows “request refund” for 48 hours.
Awesome Video. I just ordered my Model Y and my advisor is asking for a referral code. I want to use yours If you can provide it.
We appreciate the support. In bottom of description is the referral code
@@BeardedTeslaGuy thank you sir. you helped me decide on the Model Y that I just bought similar to yours and also used your referral code. keep up the videos man I love them!
You unblurred your CC a bit too soon if you didn't notice.
Thanks
Curious if the upgrade does anything to help the 50-70 times?
No doubt in my mind it does. The acceleration is full on the whole time I’m accelerating vs a slight lightening after 20 mph
Will the range of our mod Y decrease because of just installing the upgrade ( sport mode, standard mode will be no longer available)? or does the range again rely exclusively on driving patterns?
Exclusively driving habits.
How do you do this in the UK can’t find an upgrade option anywhere?
Should be accessible through the app under upgrades unless the China made Model Y does not have an acceleration boost option
It will cost a lot more than $2k to gain 50 hp on an NA engine. In fact, some ppl spend $20k+ to get 30hp
Especially when the baseline is already as high as it is.
How much did you consume in battery doing these launches..?
A couple %, it wasn’t that much
