You dont have a passenger on the first runs, also you have different weather conditions, and you are testing on different stretches of road. You might as well roll a dice, that is how accurate your two tests compare.
This "pay for upgrade" scheme just means that the car was always capable of being that fast, they just decided to charge you extra for it.
The way I see this particular one is they are just charging for the warranty.
The car is still under warranty, but they're allowing the user to put 50hp more wear and tear on it.
On single units, that won't matter to the average user...but in aggregate, if it means x% more drivetrains need warranty replacement, that can really add up.
I don't know the real numbers. Say a replacement motor/gearbox is $15k to replace...or battery is $30k to replace. Charging $2k means they expect ~1 in 15 additional cars to have a warranty claim over baseline to break even.
If they 'included' that performance in all the cars, everyone would have a performance spec version of the car...because it's literally the same motors and batteries on the P, just they've binned the better motors into that line and charged more for it, and unlocked more power. Drivetrains aren't frictionless, so every watt in is a watt out minus some energy into the drivetrain. That adds up. All things equal, a part that works harder wears more.
Is part of it profit, probably.
money is money its smart ont heir end
What you say is true but this is how car companies will be making money with EVs moving forward. EVs have much fewer moving parts and near 0 maintenance therefore they know they won’t be making any money on parts and service like dealers do on traditional ICE cars. The other ways EV companies like Tesla will be making money is selling onboard internet connectivity monthly subscription and self driving software subscription. I’m okay with that because those add-ons are completely optional… However oil changes and transmission fluid changes, new spark plugs etc are not optional items.
@@Killyang Tesla doesn't make any real profit from the $10 a month for onboard internet ..... the service is from a provider
Did I miss the discount code for the charger?
How sad this is the new normal. Program an artificial limitation that makes the product worse, and charge money for an update that removes this artificial limitation. It is crazy that labor is wasted to make the product worse, but it makes them money so they do this.
It is unfortunate that a lot of vehicle manufactures are going towards this business model. However, if its a feature they stumble upon after delivery, this I can see it being a fun gimmick. But shipping hardware only to hope a customer activates the software is silly.
by the same logic, all cable channels should be free since the wiring is there already. stupid
Would cost way more than $2k to add that much power to a gas engine and take a long time. Engineers spent time coding this, which means you pay money to get it. The car is already really fast, and as Tesla gets competition, they may just make it free.
You were driving downhill for the benchmark
Everything that lets your car physically do that you paid for when you bought the car.
This is just like a company selling you heated seats as a subscription.
Or extended range on a electric motorcycle as an add on.
They didn't sell you the physical components at a loss in the hopes enough people would buy the upgrade.
It is pure greed.
And, I had to notice, it didn't seem to deliver what it promised. None of the times were close enough to 3.5 to justify advertising that time, imo.
Yeah, I don't like the "sell with hardware, but dont let them use it without upgrading the software" business model. Its a shame, like a monthly subscription to use your seat heaters in a BMW.
The MYP is the one that’s 3.5 seconds without boost. The MYLR is 4.2-4.3 with boost.
I think you would see the greatest advantage accelerating to 100 miles an hour not just to 60. The 60 mph Numbers with the acceleration boost don’t really justify the price. I think that the boost really kicks in in that 60 to 100 mph range.
yo beef supreme here lol
R u speaking from experience on the 60-100
Did you have a passenger during ALL the tests?
Great question, no. I only had a passenger on the second test. In reality, I’ve been able to achieve sub 4 second in ideal conditions. Average is what you saw on camera though.
i feel like he didnt change his acceleration mode to sport 🤔
This is the worst test ever lol. Different road, different conditions, looks like there a slope? And you have extra 150-200 lbs inside your car (a passenger)... Very scientific :)
2k for 0.2 seconds 😂
turbo boost.... ACTIVATED! 🏎
Dude just paid 2000$ (in points) for a 0.2 second reduction.. lame.
Tesla WTF.
WTF indeed. I thought I’d at least get a consistent 3.9 or less 🙃
You had a passenger, try solo
He didn't pay anything he used his 9,500 referral credits he gets for making video's.
@RadiationNetwork he could have used those points toward something else, correct?
Now for the "something else" he won't have points, he'll have to pay with real money, correct?
So he paid.
Money is money. Doesn't matter if it's a gift card.
@@idani881 They can't be converted to real money and 9500 referral points isn't worth $2,000. Tesla just inflated its 2023 Referral Program with perks increased up to 5 times. When you try and buy anything to resell the points don't add up. A $450 Telsa wall charger is 9000 points. The only thing with an inflated $ value is the acceleration boost and it's a way for people to buy something they wouldn't have that costs Tesla nothing. Heck you can get 10,000 points if you refer a customer for a Tesla Model 3 or Model Y and 20,000 points for a X or S. Tesla is not giving away $4,000 per referral. Dealers don't even get that.
I don't have the same view as a lot of commentators in here. I see Tesla saying, "You can pay the full price for the model 3 long range with the 0-60 time of 3.7 seconds OR... OR... we scale your 0-60 time back a half second to 4.2 second and you can buy it back for $2000 later".
You know 99% of you brokies will choose to save 2000 dollars and choose the second option! Tesla did y'all a favor, so quit your whining. For half a second faster ICE car tuners will spend their yearly salary just to shave a half second. I witnessed this myself. The guy was broke all the time cuz he spent all his money on his Mustang. He was super happy to get its 0-60 time down to 4.8 seconds. So imagine what he would be like if y'all come to him and say, "for $2K, I can get my 0-60 time down to 3.7 seconds with a click of a button and nothing else". He probably would tell you to get bent and to quit smoking crack. 😂
Y'all need to quit complaining and appreciate things a little bit more.
Shut up and go buy your 35.000 referral point sledge hammer
