Tesla has recently introduced an exciting new upgrade option for its Model Y Long Range All-Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicle. The Acceleration Boost upgrade, which was previously available for the older Model Y, is now compatible with the latest model. This paid software upgrade is designed to enhance the performance of the Model Y by unlocking an additional 100 horsepower through a simple over-the-air update.
One of the most impressive benefits of the Acceleration Boost is its ability to significantly reduce the Model Y’s 0-60 mph time. With the upgrade installed, the Model Y’s acceleration time is trimmed from 4.6 seconds to 4.2 seconds (or from 4.8 to 4.3 seconds in metric regions). What’s even more impressive is that this boost in performance can be achieved without any hardware changes – it is all done through a software update.
While the Acceleration Boost doesn’t quite match the speed of the Performance version of the Model Y, which can hit 60 mph in about 3.5 seconds, it certainly narrows the gap. The Performance trim still offers additional premium features such as Track Mode and upgraded suspension, making it a more well-rounded option for those seeking the ultimate driving experience.
The upgrade is available for purchase in various regions including North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Customers can easily buy the Acceleration Boost directly through the Tesla app for $2,000 USD or approximately C$2,700 in Canada. Once purchased, the update can be quickly installed over Wi-Fi in just a matter of minutes. Tesla also offers a 48-hour refund window for customers who may have second thoughts about their purchase.
Overall, the Acceleration Boost upgrade for the Model Y Long Range AWD is a great option for those looking to enhance the performance of their vehicle without the need for any physical modifications. With just a simple software update, Tesla owners can enjoy a quicker and more exhilarating driving experience in their Model Y.
