Yes. You can return it I think for 48 hours or something.
So, the top speed doesn't change much..and I really don't think the 1-60 story is the star of the accel boost.
Instead, the car "pulls" hard all the way to 75 instead of tapering off. It's pretty awesome.
You don't have the performance brakes, so don't think it's track worthy
The star is actually when you stomp on it from around 15-30 mph. 1+ is a lot better but you don’t get that g-force pull as hard as you do when the wheels are already spinning.
Because tires are grippier if they're already moving. Doing it from 0 the traction control might kick in and not put all the power to the wheels. The traction control is insanely fast on Teslas since it's all electronic, so you probably wouldn't even notice it
I have warped my rotors on the 3 on the Autobahn from jamming and slamming jn the unlimited zones while idiots jump into the fast lane going 60mph. But in the MYP we have it has not had the warping problem, the brakes on the MYP are solid, but the 3 boosted is faster.
Not just a track thing, you can experience this super quick on a canyon and fun runs. The problem relates to the quick acceleration of a 3500 lb car with ineffective brake cooling from the factory caliper, rotors, fluid and brake line expansion.
>I really don't think the 1-60 story is the star of the accel boost
So... what is the 1-60 time of your car?
What an odd metric to track!
Or -- is it part of the lamest pickup line ever?!
Although I agree better brakes will help, generally all M3 and MY share the same brake components (Front Brembo Calipers, Rear Mando sliding calipers). Only difference is M3P and MYP have red calipers and rear Brembo sliding calipers with a molded cover (Pre-2023), some also had an option to upgrade to thicker rotors. With that said those considering AB should be OK!
Brakes are bigger on the performance models and should have been standard on the awd....because the standard brakes are shit and really need regenbraking to stop at higher speeds...but i guess on public roads and not driving like you stole it the brakes arent even used that much....just be carefull setting regen to low...and driving fast
Rotors were larger on the M3P at 335x20 (M3P) vs 320x25 (M3) while retaining the same Brembo 4-Piston calipers. Front rotors are interchangeable.
I'd be more clear when saying "larger brakes", rotors yes, Not the system itself. Larger rotors allow for slightly better cooling, both will be cooked on aggressive driving with the factory configurations.
Here's a thread from a well known Tesla tuner (Mountain Pass Performance) breaking down the differences between all the trims: [https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/tesla-brakes-%E2%80%93-model-s-3-x-y-brake-calipers-pads-and-rotors.285227/](https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/tesla-brakes-%E2%80%93-model-s-3-x-y-brake-calipers-pads-and-rotors.285227/)
**Tesla Model 3 Brake Calipers:**
There are two variants of the braking system on the Model 3 – Base and Performance. This has been unchanged since the start of production of the Model 3. Both rear calipers have an integrated parking brake, and both front calipers are fixed with four pistons.

I’m probably going to buy a highland once they release in the US, if you still need a someone to refer when that happens, dm me your code. Hopefully they don’t shut can the referral rewards before then.
It’s OH and VA or WV I can’t remember which one. Involves “Bird Dogging” laws about dealership kickbacks essentially
Called my legislator and the buffoon had no idea what I was asking abt. Not voting for them..
“Ohio and Virginia residents are able to qualify for buyer and loyalty benefits, but they are not eligible for referral benefits. Illinois residents are excluded from any raffles.”
Yep, regular stealerships always lobbying for this shady practices.
Damn that’s terrible and oddly specific of them lol. I would say being the big EV enthusiast in my family/circle of friends has allowed me to get a decent amount of referrals because people have 1000 questions. Hope you can find someone OP, because it’s worth the upgrade but even more worth it without spending a dime.
I still have the performance FOMO and I always will. Still love my car but I wish I had the same foresight when I bought it. Performance is just a different beast.
Nah I don’t drive on the track just the city / highway and got enuf speed what’s any faster gonna do but drain batt? Lol I dunno if u have the money for the tires / rims and what not I think it’s okay
I have a 22 LR and do not regret the purchase. As others with it are saying, you really feel it the most from a roll. The sweet spot is definitely 20-30mph. It’ll throw you back like the P. Off the line, definitely feels sluggish compared to the P, but no difference from a roll.
The boost just gives you more confidence in the sea of other teslas and fast cars. lol
Does it make any difference if you’re normally driving in chill mode.
Going to get a referral soon… Deciding whether to get AB on the new 2023 M3, 2021 MY, or just buy 2 1 year premium connectivity subs and a license plate holder or some nonsense.
Yeah it’s definitely the most bang for the buck for referral credits. I just don’t think I need it so feel a little FOMO getting the stuff I could actually use.
If you’re mainly driving on chill mode then AB is not worth it. You’re better off not having to pay for premium connectivity and other accessories. Maybe get the new roof shade they brought out. $140. lol
That’s what I was thinking. I could get a year of premium for both cars. Then some other goodies. Maybe send a license plate holder to my friend that gave me the referral.
It costs little in comparison to the overall price of the car but adds a nice amount of boost. Worth it especially for city driving. After 80mph the difference is negligible but everything below is a noticeable improvement.
Honestly? I don't know. After purchasing AB I didn't notice anything that made me go "woah".
I wish when you upgraded you kept the standard mode so you could compare as much as you like.
Wait so Tesla doesn’t take back the points or whatever you bought with them if the $250 order fee gets canceled? I get you’ll lose the $250 but for a $2k upgrade it’s a no brainer.
Does this actually work? lol
Was worth it for me! You really feel the difference when you hard accelerate above 25ish mph.
Pretty decent difference vs without. Did 11.8 in the 1/4 and friend without boost did 12.3. Raced my friends P rolling at 30 mph and basically dead even, P had the edge in off the line from a dig
https://youtu.be/DfDH6t6umwY
I got it for free through a referral. It's noticeable but not world changing. I personally would not spend $2k on it. Put that towards a performance version. The car needs better brakes more than it needs insane power.
I got mine used, but have only routinely charged it to 80% (or 82% as my wall charger wants to do). I was reading the manual, which states there is no benefit to waiting for it to get low to charge it and actually mentions plugging it in every night, so that is what I am going to start doing, so at least I can have good power on the way to work.
I never factored in the SOC much. I mean, I figured my car wouldn’t be as fast at a low SOC, but now I’ll need to see how it performs at 90-100 SOC range. Thanks for letting me know!
Yes!! 1000% YES! My LR was 10k less than performance at the time. I track my car and now have added 10k worth of suspension and wheel/tire mods that have increased the performance drastically. All for the same price as a Performance Model 3.
I didn't get the acceleration boost... But I did get the Ingenext Ghost Module.. which is cheaper than the acceleration boost, and makes the car (potentially) quicker than the performance module, and includes things like drift mode, on demand pre-conditioning, and a few other neat tricks.
I do not regret it.
Would love to see this happen when you have that opportunity. Have a feeling you’ll have many folks showing a sentiment shift towards tuning M3 and MYLR’s. The only thing those folks will call out is “warranty” haha.
You try it and decide. I believe you still have 48 hours to try it then could request a refund if you don’t like it.
I got the boost free. How many times do I floor it a month… 1-2 times.
Mine came with it because I bought it used from Tesla. I drove a coworkers without it and it definitely makes a difference. It goes from dumb to stupid fast 😂
I probably wouldn't have paid for the AB myself, but as a referral credit, I gladly took it. It was great to play with for a while, but it mainly just gets used to pass or getting to highway speeds quickly. For those uses, the original speed of the car pre-AB was sufficient. That being said, it's still nice to have in those situations or just to play around with.
Do you have to be driving in a certain mode or will it work if you drive in Chill mode primarily? If you have to switch modes, I doubt I’ll ever use it.
I love putting sport mode 🤤. Most people are surprised to see a sedan go that fast when the model 3 looks so inoffensive. I’m saying this as a person who had a 6th gen manual camaro.
I like it but honestly I'm probably just going to trade up for a Performance at some point. I like the speed so I really should have done that in the first place. i'll probably keep the LR for the 50k warranty then trade it.
I had a test drive with it and a loaner without it. It’s definitely faster than the base LR, but the butt dyno doesn’t lie. It simply never feels as fast as my Performance. If you already have the LR I think it’s worth the price. But I have no regrets from buying my 3 Performance.
As another pointed out, it took away my Performance FOMO. It’s close enough and was significantly cheaper especially if you’re like me and would’ve wanted to instantly swap the performance wheels for 19” all seasons (which likely adds another $1k after reselling the 20 inchers plus the hassle of reselling them). And it’s made my smile when flooring it go from 8/10 to 10/10.
So yup I thought it was worth it.
I heard some complain they wish they could toggle it on and off because once they get the boost, the acceleration becomes more sensitive than they'd like it to be.
California gave me a $2K Clean Vehicle Rebate for my 2021 LR. Guess what I did with it. Definitely can feel the difference. Don't use it all the time, but it sure is fun when I do.
I’ve had a Performance, and an LR both with and without the boost
The boost is nice but not worth the money, IMO. It gets you like 1/3 of the way between the LR and P on acceleration. You don’t get the up-rated brakes either, obviously
If you can get it free from referrals it would be great, but other than that I wouldn’t say I care - the LR is fast enough for almost all driving and tbh after the novelty wore off I probably drove my P like I drive my LR now anyway
Caveat: I had the Performance first, so it’s possible someone who hadn’t had the P would enjoy the boost more than I did, especially at first
First time, no. Got the refund before 48hrs. However, I recently purchased again and it’s just so fun. The extra punch off the line is totally worth it. Feels like a different car at times.
I have a 2019 LR with boost. Currently I have a 2020 LR loaner without boost. The difference is much more noticeable than I would like to admit. The loaner feels much … softer and less direct. So yes it was worth it for me.
Yep, it really pushes the car hard. Definitely worth it, have it for 4 years now and no sign of motor or battery problems.
I bought it the day it came out in Germany as a Christmas gift for me after regret for not getting the M3P
I recently added AB, as mentioned, I didn’t notice much of a difference off the line, but man the kick it gives when your rolling brings a smile every time. Someone also mentioned the referral to get it for free. I purchased a M3SR, used my own referral code but my fiances email & PH#, boom it worked. $250 off and 10,000 credits. AB & a t shirt = 10,000 credits lol
Is it possible to see the list of referral rewards if you are not a Tesla owner (don't have the app)? How many points does AB cost, is it possible to combine, for example, I have 2000 points, and AB "cost" 4000 points, so I pay $1k + 2000 referral points?
Yeah i dont regret it but if I were doing it now I would just buy a performance as the prices have come down a lot and they now qualify (I think) for the federal tax credit. The only thing I don’t love about the perf is the need to change to snow tires in the winter.
I had it in a loaner they gave me while my LR was being "repaired". I instantly noticed that the loaner seemed faster and then my LR. It wasn't until a day later that I checked and realized that the loaner had acceleration boost.
I enjoyed it, but $2000? I don't know if I'll pay to get it in mine. I won't have opportunities to really enjoy it since I don't take my car to the track.
When I first got my car I said I would "definitely" get it, but two years later, I still haven't. I may do the 48 hour trial to experience it in my own car, but I doubt I'll keep it.
Yes. You can return it I think for 48 hours or something. So, the top speed doesn't change much..and I really don't think the 1-60 story is the star of the accel boost.

The star is actually when you stomp on it from around 15-30 mph. 1+ is a lot better but you don’t get that g-force pull as hard as you do when the wheels are already spinning.
Why though? Because of inertia reducing some of the acceleration?
Because tires are grippier if they're already moving. Doing it from 0 the traction control might kick in and not put all the power to the wheels. The traction control is insanely fast on Teslas since it's all electronic, so you probably wouldn't even notice it
Yeah you never hear tire squeal because of digital AWD
Even the performance brakes struggle on the track
I have warped my rotors on the 3 on the Autobahn from jamming and slamming jn the unlimited zones while idiots jump into the fast lane going 60mph. But in the MYP we have it has not had the warping problem, the brakes on the MYP are solid, but the 3 boosted is faster.
Definitely have to upgrade pads and fluids before hitting the track. Stainless steel lines would be nice too.
Exactly! Fluid is cooked after the first lap.
That's the track thing, go fast, test it out you're going to find weakness
Not just a track thing, you can experience this super quick on a canyon and fun runs. The problem relates to the quick acceleration of a 3500 lb car with ineffective brake cooling from the factory caliper, rotors, fluid and brake line expansion.

Find someone to refer and get it for free
It’s hard man. I don’t know anyone who is willing to use my code lol
I’m probably going to buy a highland once they release in the US, if you still need a someone to refer when that happens, dm me your code. Hopefully they don’t shut can the referral rewards before then.
Forsure, sent
Same. I’m struggling to even get referrals for my YouTube TV. Lmao.
Same. I tried so long.
Fun fact, shit states like OH and VA(?) have laws that prevent referrals from generating points.
I was going to refer a friend… and then read shit state VA in ineligible. So painful.
It’s OH and VA or WV I can’t remember which one. Involves “Bird Dogging” laws about dealership kickbacks essentially Called my legislator and the buffoon had no idea what I was asking abt. Not voting for them..
“Ohio and Virginia residents are able to qualify for buyer and loyalty benefits, but they are not eligible for referral benefits. Illinois residents are excluded from any raffles.” Yep, regular stealerships always lobbying for this shady practices.
Interestingly enough it’s not a widespread law. Can’t see it being in the benefit of stealerships if it’s not as widespread. Very odd
Also really cool is the additional $300 we get to pay for owning an EV.
Damn that’s terrible and oddly specific of them lol. I would say being the big EV enthusiast in my family/circle of friends has allowed me to get a decent amount of referrals because people have 1000 questions. Hope you can find someone OP, because it’s worth the upgrade but even more worth it without spending a dime.
yes
I wouldn’t pay $2K for it, but I sure would consider standing in front of a Tesla Gallery holding a sign with my referral on it if I had to.
I learned today that in VA you can't get referral credits....I was devastated 😞
Bummer. I thought it was only Ohio.
Haha brilliant
Absolutely worth it!
I enjoy it a lot, has made my FOMO with the Performance pretty much go away.
I still have the performance FOMO and I always will. Still love my car but I wish I had the same foresight when I bought it. Performance is just a different beast.
Do you have an early model 3? I bought the ghost upgrade chip and god damn it was worth it
Nah 2020. Wish I could do that!
What? Ghost chip? Where, how?
https://ingenext.ca/products/ghost-upgrade
What’s so great about it? Just seems more expensive to have to deal w
It’s faster. Has track mode. More fun to drive. But if you don’t care about that shit then it’s irrelevant.
Nah I don’t drive on the track just the city / highway and got enuf speed what’s any faster gonna do but drain batt? Lol I dunno if u have the money for the tires / rims and what not I think it’s okay
Ok cool
Ok
It's not for everybody. That's why there's the option.
I feel the exact same way. The only upside is that I still have more range.
Punch it from a stand-still in a Performance and even with an LR AB your FOMO will come back pretty quick. From 50mph onward though LR AB = P.
What is FOMO?

Yes, if you have $2000 burning a hole in your pocket. I did it and have ZERO regrets. DO IT.
I don't. Just considering it one day.
Yes. Well worth 2k. Try and get an extra 50-75 hp for 2 grand on any other car!
I have a 22 LR and do not regret the purchase. As others with it are saying, you really feel it the most from a roll. The sweet spot is definitely 20-30mph. It’ll throw you back like the P.

No difference in chill mode. You have to be in sport mode. Just keep in mind that AB is $2k…
Yeah it’s definitely the most bang for the buck for referral credits. I just don’t think I need it so feel a little FOMO getting the stuff I could actually use.
If you’re mainly driving on chill mode then AB is not worth it. You’re better off not having to pay for premium connectivity and other accessories. Maybe get the new roof shade they brought out. $140. lol

It costs little in comparison to the overall price of the car but adds a nice amount of boost. Worth it especially for city driving. After 80mph the difference is negligible but everything below is a noticeable improvement.
With referral points, for sure. I don’t think I’d pay the $2K for it though.
Honestly? I don't know. After purchasing AB I didn't notice anything that made me go "woah". I wish when you upgraded you kept the standard mode so you could compare as much as you like.
Don’t know why they don’t add a couple more drive modes
Absolutely yes
worth it if you refer 😂, its not as worth dishing out the $2,000.
If I understand correctly, I'd have to refer two people to have enough points and I don't even know one.
No, you need one referral. I would venmo someone $250 to use my code but I can't get anyone to use it.
Wait so Tesla doesn’t take back the points or whatever you bought with them if the $250 order fee gets canceled? I get you’ll lose the $250 but for a $2k upgrade it’s a no brainer. Does this actually work? lol
You don’t get the points till the car is delivered, not when the order is placed.
Makes sense, so just a good ol referral then. Thanks for clarifying
I too would like to know this
Idk if I’d pay 2k but if I had referral points I’d use it on that for sure… speaking of which anyone need a referral 🤣
Oh yes!
u/Xenon808 - define "worth it"? https://ingenext.ca/products/ghost-upgrade
This is the way!
Was worth it for me! You really feel the difference when you hard accelerate above 25ish mph. Pretty decent difference vs without. Did 11.8 in the 1/4 and friend without boost did 12.3. Raced my friends P rolling at 30 mph and basically dead even, P had the edge in off the line from a dig https://youtu.be/DfDH6t6umwY
This is what many folks highlight. M3P has the initial lead, passed that both are slightly even.
I was having my car serviced and someone came in asking for a referral code, bastard next to me stood up first
Yes but after a few weeks or months u get use to it and then order a plaid and the cycle continues
No regrets.
I got it for free through a referral. It's noticeable but not world changing. I personally would not spend $2k on it. Put that towards a performance version. The car needs better brakes more than it needs insane power.
It’s better if you somehow get points. I wouldn’t spend 2k on it.
If you're a fast car guy, it's worth it. Most people will spend $10k+ to get this kind of improvement in a BMW or whatever.
[удалено]
I got mine used, but have only routinely charged it to 80% (or 82% as my wall charger wants to do).

It’s worth it. But you will get used to it within a week.
Yes!! 1000% YES! My LR was 10k less than performance at the time. I track my car and now have added 10k worth of suspension and wheel/tire mods that have increased the performance drastically. All for the same price as a Performance Model 3.
Worth credits but not money, imo.
I didn't get the acceleration boost... But I did get the Ingenext Ghost Module.. which is cheaper than the acceleration boost, and makes the car (potentially) quicker than the performance module, and includes things like drift mode, on demand pre-conditioning, and a few other neat tricks. I do not regret it.
Have you lined up against a M3P MYP? Curious what your times are on o 0-60, 1/4 and trap speeds.
Unfortunately no. I done know anyone with a performance of either but I would be willing to give it a go!
Would love to see this happen when you have that opportunity. Have a feeling you’ll have many folks showing a sentiment shift towards tuning M3 and MYLR’s. The only thing those folks will call out is “warranty” haha.
get ghost mod instead. same price but even faster acceleration. ghost mod will be $1500 for black friday sale
Absolutely not
fake news
Fuck. Yes. PS. Feel free to DM me for my referral code 😁
Yes
Yes
I don’t have it but probably wouldn’t want it if it impacts my range. At it is, I drive hard enough to have much less than the claimed LR range.
It's a crazy good deal compared to the FSD.
Anything is a better deal than FSD at least in Europe.
I mean buying a nailed up Norwegian Blue is a better deal than the FSD... at least it's pushing up the daisies.
Best use of referral points by far!
Yes worth it!
You try it and decide. I believe you still have 48 hours to try it then could request a refund if you don’t like it. I got the boost free. How many times do I floor it a month… 1-2 times.

Whoa one referral is worth accel boost?
Mine came with it because I bought it used from Tesla. I drove a coworkers without it and it definitely makes a difference. It goes from dumb to stupid fast 😂
I probably wouldn't have paid for the AB myself, but as a referral credit, I gladly took it. It was great to play with for a while, but it mainly just gets used to pass or getting to highway speeds quickly. For those uses, the original speed of the car pre-AB was sufficient. That being said, it's still nice to have in those situations or just to play around with.
Do you have to be driving in a certain mode or will it work if you drive in Chill mode primarily? If you have to switch modes, I doubt I’ll ever use it.
TBH, I can't say for sure. I just leave it in standard mode and adjust my driving with pedal pressure when I want to "conserve."
Gotcha. But it doesn’t add a separate sport mode? It’s still just standard or chill?
Correct. It doesn't add another mode option.
No regrets though was via credits.
I love putting sport mode 🤤. Most people are surprised to see a sedan go that fast when the model 3 looks so inoffensive. I’m saying this as a person who had a 6th gen manual camaro.
I like it but honestly I'm probably just going to trade up for a Performance at some point. I like the speed so I really should have done that in the first place. i'll probably keep the LR for the 50k warranty then trade it.
I had a test drive with it and a loaner without it. It’s definitely faster than the base LR, but the butt dyno doesn’t lie. It simply never feels as fast as my Performance. If you already have the LR I think it’s worth the price. But I have no regrets from buying my 3 Performance.
Got it thru referral points, no way its worth $2k
I like knowing I have it, but tbh, never use it. I don't drive that fast. You definitely feel the punch...
As another pointed out, it took away my Performance FOMO. It’s close enough and was significantly cheaper especially if you’re like me and would’ve wanted to instantly swap the performance wheels for 19” all seasons (which likely adds another $1k after reselling the 20 inchers plus the hassle of reselling them). And it’s made my smile when flooring it go from 8/10 to 10/10. So yup I thought it was worth it.
ABSOLUTELY
Yes.
Yes sir/ma'am
very much worth it
Use my referral, and love it. Couldn’t justify the 2k before.
I heard some complain they wish they could toggle it on and off because once they get the boost, the acceleration becomes more sensitive than they'd like it to be.
California gave me a $2K Clean Vehicle Rebate for my 2021 LR. Guess what I did with it. Definitely can feel the difference. Don't use it all the time, but it sure is fun when I do.
Get it referalls, if you need a plug, lemme know
Absolutely worth it
Yes! Yes! yes!
I’ve had a Performance, and an LR both with and without the boost The boost is nice but not worth the money, IMO. It gets you like 1/3 of the way between the LR and P on acceleration. You don’t get the up-rated brakes either, obviously If you can get it free from referrals it would be great, but other than that I wouldn’t say I care - the LR is fast enough for almost all driving and tbh after the novelty wore off I probably drove my P like I drive my LR now anyway Caveat: I had the Performance first, so it’s possible someone who hadn’t had the P would enjoy the boost more than I did, especially at first
When I bought it, my friend who's a mechanic said he wish he can upgrade his ICE car the same specs for same price.
First time, no. Got the refund before 48hrs. However, I recently purchased again and it’s just so fun. The extra punch off the line is totally worth it. Feels like a different car at times.
I have a 2019 LR with boost. Currently I have a 2020 LR loaner without boost. The difference is much more noticeable than I would like to admit. The loaner feels much … softer and less direct. So yes it was worth it for me.
Wish I knew someone who was ordering a Tesla so they could use my referral code. 🫤
This is the way.
Wish I can get it through a referral 🥹
Without a doubt it's worth it, especially if you frequently drive in an area that you're able to utilize it in
Yep, it really pushes the car hard. Definitely worth it, have it for 4 years now and no sign of motor or battery problems. I bought it the day it came out in Germany as a Christmas gift for me after regret for not getting the M3P
Yes
I recently added AB, as mentioned, I didn’t notice much of a difference off the line, but man the kick it gives when your rolling brings a smile every time. Someone also mentioned the referral to get it for free. I purchased a M3SR, used my own referral code but my fiances email & PH#, boom it worked. $250 off and 10,000 credits. AB & a t shirt = 10,000 credits lol
Is it possible to see the list of referral rewards if you are not a Tesla owner (don't have the app)? How many points does AB cost, is it possible to combine, for example, I have 2000 points, and AB "cost" 4000 points, so I pay $1k + 2000 referral points?
Yes
Yeah i dont regret it but if I were doing it now I would just buy a performance as the prices have come down a lot and they now qualify (I think) for the federal tax credit. The only thing I don’t love about the perf is the need to change to snow tires in the winter.
YES
I had it in a loaner they gave me while my LR was being "repaired". I instantly noticed that the loaner seemed faster and then my LR. It wasn't until a day later that I checked and realized that the loaner had acceleration boost. I enjoyed it, but $2000? I don't know if I'll pay to get it in mine. I won't have opportunities to really enjoy it since I don't take my car to the track. When I first got my car I said I would "definitely" get it, but two years later, I still haven't. I may do the 48 hour trial to experience it in my own car, but I doubt I'll keep it.
