It's actually a pretty nice strategy. There is not a word on the Tesla web site about this upgrade, because they obviously want you to consider the M3P. But after you purchased the M3LR, you showed that you were not willing to shell out $8k extra for the entire performance package, so how about going halfway to the M3P in pure acceleration for $2k? Some of those (us) that were not willing to pay the extra $8k for the M3P might very well pay $2k for the Acceleration Boost upgrade, and Tesla gets some extra cash.

Might not see a cybertruck until the end of 2024 or early 2025 and that's being conservative.

I have that boost option. Pretty quick ride now. How do the speeds change with the different size rims? Or if it is the same over all diameter tire size. Amazon sent me the performance badge, and I bought the spoiler, pedals, and caliper covers for that performance look. I purchased those chrome wheel covers and chrome lug nuts as well. It's a decent commuter car. I hope one day the fSD works correctly.

Interesting results and spot on. Faster rolling but slower 0 to 60 on AWD+.

Thanks for the comparison. Just wish roll out wasn’t used by car companies. 0-60 should be from standing.

Took me this long to find that video, I've been curious about this for more than a year. I'm afraid this confirms everyone's suspicion, the Long Range with boost is too close to the Performance.

BTW how does dual motor whiteout power upgrade does against performance on rolling race. Because i think they would still be quite similar.

I don’t know if a 100kwh battery is needed, but a 90kwh battery would be perfect. It wouldn’t be as much weight, while still adding ~100hp and torque. Also range would increase to 375 or so. Lastly acceleration times would be mid 2s and quarter miles in mid 10s which would be perfect. A 100kwh battery will get you 400+ miles of range and low 10s in the quarter mile, but it would add more weight which isn’t necessary or beneficial, cuz it might weight close to 4300 pounds, instead of 4100 or so with a 90kwh. Also a stiffer suspension, or air suspension is a must.

They just need to make sure the motors and powertrain can handle that much more juice and torque so there might be some improvement to individual components.

Great channel always straight to the point and then to the discussion. I think Tesla have again made a perfect move to keep their reputation up there. For $2000 if you want move performance on the long range 3 its a great deal. You can envisage other performance upgrade paths such as Ludicrous 3 maybe at the same time as Plaid S to keep the product placement gaps but its win, win, win ! I bought a P85 MS in 2014 and soon after came the duel motor, so you feel a bit like you should have waited but then Tesal upgraded the P85 and you soon forget anyway and think hell they are all brilliant. I think Tesla listen to owners and if there is an undercurrent of dissatisfaction or need they respond with upgrades or offers. Why wouldn't they? Everyone wins. And to my mind they also update the charging algorithms tweaking the performance / charging characteristics of the battery. Tesla have the data and the technology to continuously improve the ownership experience even years after purchase, no wonder we love these cars every time we drive them, even 5 years later.

I have gone against a performance model tesla at the track, and it was steadily gaining speed against me. However after I switched to Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres, we were almost identical. Performance model still finished first but overall I'm very happy with the LR with boost.

I don't understand why, at 8:21, the gray had a sudden acceleration and deceleration. Does this mean that the gray was not at its maximum power ???

You guys have a Tesla club somewhere in Florida? I’m on the space coast about to get my model y

Man Tesla really needs to give this guy the first Roadster in production even a sick prototype let Drag Times to do some indepth deep deep testing.

Are LR AWD and P3D the same technically? (Size of motors etc...) Or is it just an update difference between both model?

Pretty sure they're exactly the same in every way except software, different wheels, different brakes, spoiler, badge and pedals.

I’m watching this video at the same place that it was filmed. I was looking at the background and realized that I’m charging my car at the same exact Wawa.

I will wait for the 100 kWh model 3. Great Video Thank You

Test the dual motor Y upgrade vs the dual motor sport Y

Hey Dragtimes, I'm super late to this comment, but on future videos could you give us SoC as well. At 95% SoC, my M3 Sport has gotten to about 3.74 on dragy. Thanks!

Just listened to the last of this video. Making the Model 3 P faster than it is now will probably be more hurtful to the motors. So, the next model 3 P will probably be one with a slightly more powerful motor along with a more powerful battery. What do you think?

This video seems a little short, would you please do an expanded one? Maybe go deeper into the matter? I really like to know and please do not miss any caveats

Performance ludicrous mode incoming

Possibly designate the Acceleration Boost version with a black line under the Dual Motor badge. Can be bought through eBay.

Brooks, can you talk about costs in the ICE world in terms of dropping 1/2 sec to 3.5? I have no idea but can you port, turbo, bore, exhaust + labor for $2K and achieve the same?

There are plenty of cars that will drop half a second with just a tune

Like the P85+, LR’s with the performance boost can be dualmotor+

How come they dont have this option for Model X?

As a Three Time Tesla owner , Model SP90DL, P3D+, P3D stealth I can say Elon MUST BOOST the power on the P’s. A $2,000 upgrade boosted it too easily and now the P3D needs to be a 2.6-7 second car to 60 mph to counterbalance the hierarchy. A Launch mode would be awesome! The differences between a time of 4.2 and 3.2 are significant but not 3.5 and 3.0 for such a bargain boosted price !

Not only will they cannibalism their sales in the luxury section of Model S they would also upset the model s owners who paid so much more for the price

david lin the 3 sells 8x to every 1 S. The plaid version will be faster and it’s only wise to keep P buyers who paid more Money initially to also have an upgrade opportunity

The S can do it because of the air suspension. Don't forget that was Brook's big issue with the top gear testing. The S crouches down to get the launch. The 3 doesn't have air suspension

7:26 the droids you are looking for

Brooks, when you first got the most recent 5% update you reported a 117mph 1/4 mile run as well. Why wasn’t that discussed? I haven’t run my Tesla 3 performance at the track but there was a clear sotp feel difference after the last 5% update down low and at highway speeds as well. Regardless, love your videos!

indeed, that was at 100% charge, right off the charger.... couldn't replicate it at the track though when I raced that Challenger 1320.... maybe cold battery, etc...

DragTimes Good point, forgot about the soc factor... Thank you for clarifying; however, it looked like the performance was still pulling slightly more up top regardless of the similar trap speeds. Overall it seems to be a drivers race on the highway as you stated. I’m still happy I got the Performance as the brakes and tires are more suited for the acceleration. The faster off-the-line acceleration is nice too💪🏻

Ben Jake totally!! That torque requires those nice oem Michelin’s. Absolutely. And the 10mm drop makes a diff in how it feels every day.

Please check my tests for all kinds of info with the 5% upgrade, state of charge and the latest boost upgrade: I tested the boost upgrade before/after, getting 0-60 and 1/4 mile times with the dragy. I also extrapolate times for different states of charge, based on previous data. I then do a full analysis of the better times and discuss how this is not the same as getting a full 5% HP increase and whether it is worth the money. kzread.info/dash/bejne/dGdn1duedtrIpLg.html

note also that M3P comes with bigger heavier wheels and brakes. To go the fastest you need 18"..like aero wheels with covers on M3 LR and side mirrors folded.

Unless you want to take it on the track and race it the performance model is not worth having with the tyre problems and hard suspension and cost of tyres!! The $2k upgrade is sweeter. I have really noticed the jump in the acceleration with the boost. The Long Range with the boost is a real wolf in sheep’s clothing. In NZ now they’re not offering the LR any more. That’s a pity

Whats roll out? Why does it read lower? Whats does it mean? Thanks.

Roll out is a 1-foot rollout (time starts after the car has moved 1 foot). It is the most common method of measuring 0-60 in US media/publications. Most US manufacturers publish their 0-60 times with a 1-foot rollout (IE. excluding the time it takes to move the first 1 foot). It is not common for manufacturers outside the US to publish with a 1-foot rollout (to my knowledge). Tesla has been known to publish both figures without clarification, although for the Model 3 dual motor non-performance, the numbers they publish are without rollout (4.4 seconds for the LR AWD non-P, 3.9s for the LR AWD+ non-P).

@@ialsoagree thanks a lot.

Hope to see your Plaid vs. Lucid sapphire

could most of that early acceleration just be sticky tires? Maybe I missed him addressing this
