In this video I dive into Tesla’s acceleration boost that they offer on the Model 3. I do 0-60 runs before the acceleration boost and 0-60 runs after the acceleration boost and compare the results. The model 3 held up!
The conditions for these 0-60 runs weren’t perfect, but they were ideal. My Tesla model 3 started at 80% battery and is still on original tires in this video after about 45,000 miles.
The Tesla Model 3 acceleration boost is as advertised - it takes your 0-60 time down from 4.2 seconds to about 3.7 seconds, and I show that in this video.
Is it worth it? Well, there are 2 ways to get the acceleration boost. One is to redeem 9,500 referral credits, and the other is to pay $2,000. Either way, if you like speed, I say it is well worth it.

Hey! Curious, when you get your new M3 LR Highland, if it has this option!

@cellman1829 5 месяцев назад

@@vegasteslafamilyi will definitely let you know. I am going to get the boost when it becomes available. Hopefully I can get my car next month 🙏🏻🙏🏻. The 4.2 is already insane. I literally floored it on the on ramp to the freeway and no joke before I knew it I was already doing 125 !!! In the blink of an I. I said are you f'n kidding me 😂😂 fasted I ever drove and it only felt like I was going 80. Insane.

Hey! Great video. I have a ‘23 Model 3 Performance, but considering getting a second, used Long Range and would personally pay for the acceleration boost. Quick question regarding your tint. I currently have a 55% film on my windshield and considering re-tinting to 35% or 45%. I have 15% film on my side windows. If you don’t mind me asking, what % film do you have on your windows? Looking to get same look on my windshield!

@Ih8chew Месяц назад

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.

@vegasteslafamily Месяц назад

This is true

@larryfishkind5387 4 месяца назад

Teslas are amazing ! I absolutely love my model 3 LR. This acceleration boost is really tempting ! 🤩 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 Thanks for this video ! Enjoy

Fun video, but the answer is most likely no. It's not worth it. You'll use it 5 times for fun and another 5 times to impress someone and that's it. 2000USD through the chimney. Even the "standard" is an overkill and you'll switch it to chill for the comfort.

Ok with referrals, waste of money otherwise. The base car was accelerating as fast as my old BMW GT1200 motorbike, in real world driving that was already more than fast enough. Fun, yeah. Safe? Debatable. In the wrong or inexperienced hands downright dangerous. No wonder EV insurance is so high. There's a market out there for lower performance and lower insurance.

@dathyr1 5 месяцев назад

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!!!! Bye!!!
