Gotta let me know if it has the acceleration boost upgrade, I’m considering making a video of ways to make the model 3 LR look better than the performance… acceleration boost, different wheel covers, pedal covers, yoke wheel, etc!

    I personally was getting only 3.9-3.95 second 0 to 60 with AB, so I returned it. Maybe I need to replace tires (21k miles on them), or maybe test in warmer temperatures (tested at night), but multiple apps and my own hand testing was not getting 3.7 seconds as advertised. Huge disappointment

    To knock half a second off your 0-60 time in an ICE you’re looking at probably twice this or more plus you’re going to give up your factory warranty with having to use an accompanying tune. For $2k this is a no brainer if you’re a car guy.

    I have the Model Y LR dual motor and I would have to pay 2000 dollars to get the boost.
    To go from 4.8 to 4.2 sec in 0-60 mph is not worth it to me. I don't need that small power boost to do the driving I do daily. i don't plan to drag race anybody ever and 4.8 sec acceleration is good enough for me. I can spend the 2000 dollars on something worth while.
    Allot of people say the boost is worth it, and my question is WHY? Just to screech away form stoplights - Stupid!!!!!! Then you can spend your hard earned dollars on new tires every couple of months.
    That option is always available if I want it, but right now - NO!!!!

    To get 100hp gain on a gas engine would cost at least 5k on a turbo kit / supercharger kit. It’s a good deal for 2k, also when you go and sell it or trade it in your car will be worth the 2k more
