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.

[@jpscharged]

Plus the extra 38 miles range.

[@xyyzs7023]

​@@jpschargedthat's beacuse the rims , so put 18 on m3p y get the same range

[@crainger]

@@xyyzs7023 18 wont fit on m3p due to larger brake package though. Need to look at aftermarket 18" which again might not be as efficient.

[@crainger]

Also great for countries where m3p is 20k more over the LR. Here is a 3k upgrade which is pretty good value.

[@slickmastajay]

​@crainger I mean for efficiency all you gotta do is make sure the aftermarket wheels weigh the same or less than LR stock wheels. $8k for the performance is not bad at all actually because if you were to get an aftermarket big brake kit, aftermarket suspension, wheels n tires, and acceleration boost option it would cost nearly $8k and you lose factory warranty on those parts

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.

[@slartybartfarst9737]

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 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.

[@javabeanz8549]

and then, there area people like me, that would rather take out the back seats and put in a couple more batteries ;o)

[@mskz06]

Just want to clarify the weight would increase only if using the same battery chemistry. If they are using a newer/improved chemistry it could weight the same.

[@ayushmalpeddi2793]

mskz06 True, but I highly doubt they would change the chemistry of batteries because the Model 3 uses the latest tech from Tesla. It would only be smart of them to just make the battery bigger using the same formula or else it may cost as much as a current model S

[@gerald4027]

I added twin turbos and nitrous to cool the batteries.

[@strykerace]

100kwh battery for Model 3 doesn't necessarily mean more weight. Its been a couple years and the battery cocktail may have improved significantly the energy density for each battery. Same number of batteries but each battery will hold more juice. Insignificant weight change. 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.

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.

[@lancelacour6717]

Thanks for video. I have a long range, dual motor Model 3 and I just got the $2000 performance upgrade yesterday. I noticed a seat of the pants difference on the first drive. But, I had no idea that it would put my Model 3 down into the 3.5 range in the 0 to 60 and into the high 11's in the quarter mile. Money well spent. Anybody who has modified or "tuned" a gasoline powered car, knows that the first $2000 usually goes towards intake and exhaust, but rarely buys you this sort of dramatic performance increase. Also, I have a feeling that Tesla will be rolling out a ludicrous mode Model 3 before too long.

@@lubricatedgoat Tesla has always been good to me. I hope you're right.

[@Michael-cl8pw]

I think they might add a Ludicrous upgrade to it

[@GodzUnit01]

there always has been a $2,000 option for the Performance. it’s called the Model 3 Stealth Performance. for $2,000 more than the Dual Motor Long Range, you get Performance acceleration + top speed and Track Mode. way better than the Dual Motor $2,000 power boost.

[@InstaAE]

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.

[@Mudassar_Khan]

I just wanted to know if the handling of the car is any different between the performance and LR. I'm stuck between the 2. After testing the LR mode I found the Performance to be way better in acceleration. But Tesla dealer didn't have LR Boost option to test. If the LR Boost is going to feel and handle like the performance then I don't want to waste money on Performance.

[@freddybell8328]

The boost doesn't affect the handling

[@Mudassar_Khan]

@@freddybell8328 yea but I wanted to see if there would be any difference in handling between the LR and Performance (regardless of boost or not) apparently Performance has lowered suspension which should improve handling. 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.

[@TCPUDPATM]

I’m going to buy the LR after watching this. I really don’t want to spoiler, lowered suspension, or the larger wheels.

[@Walu3]

At what speed did the rolling race start?

[@jmattos]

Wow. thats surprising and super cool! Id get the long range and unlock it EVERY TIME.

[@ms3ben]

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!

[@DragTimes]

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...

[@ms3ben]

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💪🏻

[@raheeb1]

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.

[@mmark300]

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. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGSWpKybe9yVqrc

[@speedriff]

I’m curious as to how this upgrade affects range. Does the AWD still get the 322 mile range or does it drop it back to 310 miles? Any idea?

[@mmark300]

My range didn't change. 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.

[@CastorTroy666]

How do you get this boost? After I pay on my tesla page, will my app notify a new download right away like any other upgrade so far? Or does it just get it in some other way?

[@steveburke3]

Tesla says that it takes some time to get it. My car was connected to wifi, and had it just a minute after purchasing.

[@LordLoMR2]

Tesla basically unlocked the performance power on the awd LR with the $2000 upgrade. That’s gonna make some of the performance model 3 owners a little upset. I know I’m a little pissy because there was over $12,000 difference between the awd lr and performance when I bought mine. :(

[@CustomDesignzShop]

🙏🙏🙏

[@PerformanceRaven]

Right there with you Dude. With the models S and X, the performance versions are way faster than the non-performance versions. So why is Tesla showing this disrespect to the 3P owners?

[@jmilber1982ify]

Um no. Lol

[@haldas]

Turbocharged Dude I wish it was an equal unlock to the P, but it is not. It’s still a good value for folks like me that bought an AWD though. The P still smokes the AWD off the line. Pretty much a .6 second diff as Tesla advertises. After driving the P and AWD+ back to back today, I still wish I had P speed. Just not as much after the upgrade.

[@bassamshakil]

Agreed I own a P3D and I’m thinking the exact same thing!

[@bindang7191]

Same battery and same car minus the performance bits. I bought a P3D- for roughly $2k more than a LR AWD, before the price increase.

[@ATSVRuss]

What do you use to track the times and 0-60?

[@DaveBoxBG]

But there should be update for the performance version too right?

[@erikandmarcie]

No, guessing it's maxed out in hardware already

[@futureisnow1005]

We are thinking 🤔 of model 3 performance vs cost of just getting model 3 standard is the money really worth it for speed?

[@isaacliftsandcycles]

Performance upgrade on mine... FUARK! amazing driving experience..

[@oisiaa]

Release new Model 3 Performance + with 100kWh pack and Ludicrous. Sell it for 6 months to see who bites and then offer a software upgrade to "old" performance Model 3 to boost their performance midway between.

[@dhan219]

Tesla is trying to stay ahead in the competition. BNW has a new M3 rumor with 510hp from the X3M. The new 100 model 3 will destroy the new M3/M4.

[@Patriot3]

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.

[@row0111]

Tesla: We need cash Tesla: $2000 software update, they'll pay for it.

[@Planehazza]

How much would it cost in hardware, software, and time to make an ICE car improve its 0-60 from 4.4s to less than 3.9s? I doubt you're talking a simple stage 1 remap at those power levels. All that testing and tuning and dymo runs... makes a $2k software update a lot less 'laughable'...

[@Planehazza]

@n s I can't entirely argue with that, as I will miss the sound of my 530e when the model 3 arrives, hopefully next month. I might just have to get creative make the noises myself :P

[@dumas1012]

The performance does have 20" rims and the DM has 19"? What would happen if both cars had the same size rims. 1" could make a difference. Swap the rims and do the race again?

[@apricity69]

dumas1012 If it only was that easy. Performance models have a weird stepped hub. What I would like to see is large barrel aftermarket 18”s that fit on M3P w/ big brakes ***with smaller diameter tires***. I know some of these lighter aftermarket wheels are already available, but I’m curious about the gearing advantage. Does it make sense to give up some of your 162mph top speed to get slightly lower gearing? Or is the car already traction limited from 0-40 mph so a taller tire makes more sense for a higher 1/4 mile trap speed? The first thing Model Y owners will probably try is bolting on smaller diameter Model 3 wheels & tires.

[@businessmanph]

Are the motors the same? If so you could get a long range and do suspension and brake upgrades.

[@AKA001]

The M3P will be getting a code rewrite soon for a Ludicrous-style launch boost with better top end speed. Similar to the Acceleration Boost in the LR.

[@joeputz4559]

Where is this

[@ZekeMagnum]

source: trust me bro

[@3030hp]

lol okay.

[@TheKeafun]

It would be better to have the Long Range because most people are driving the vehicle 95% of the time, and 5% is performance. even the long range has trackable capabilities; with a very good driver at the wheel it can be amazingly fast. Performance makes sense if one is to track the vehicle constantly and always, then yes.

[@PSBrathwaite]

So is it worth it?? What was his opinion

[@turbo80lxcoupe]

Hopefully the m3p has a boost upgrade coming very soon.im now on the fence more than ever between ordering a performance or long range in the next month.hope tesla says something

as CarWow found, ALL the difference between the dual motor Model 3s is at the start. From ~60 MPH on up they are identical until the speed limiter is reached.

[@raremage]

This is great stuff. If anyone can answer - I’m currently driving a 2018 BMW M3 and strongly considering selling it back to BMW and moving on a M3P. As a guy that loves the M3 as a drivers car, am I crazy to be thinking about this? The M3 truly has been an excellent car, great performance, power and practicality. Am I likely to regret this change?

[@lijolukose6965]

Practicality could be a wrong word depending on your situation. If you're looking for a family car then M3P may not be a good choice. Otherwise there's no doubt you'll love it. Even the M3LR would bring a smile to your face.

[@theman6785]

GREAT VIDEO ANSWERING LOTS OF QUESTIONS!!!!!

[@lancelacour6717]

Which wheel/tire package is on your buddy's dual motor sport, 19 or 20 inch? I wonder if the 18 inch package would even be a bit quicker. The 18's weigh 47# per corner. I have heard that the 19 and 20 inch weigh more.

[@haldas]

The AWD+ has the 19" Wheels.

[@greghagen6711]

19” wheels would be lighter and more aerodynamic than the 20”, could be one of the reasons these were so close?

[@lancelacour6717]

@@greghagen6711 I've tried aftermarket staggered 20" wheels and tires on my long range, dual motor Model 3. The loss of power and range was noticable. The handling was better and the look was superb. But I went back to the 18' without the aero caps for the best balance of looks and performance. I'm wondering if anyone in this thread has tried 18's on a P3D?

[@greghagen6711]

Lance LaCour I have a P3D and debating on whether to go with 18” or 19” wheels for winter tires. I’ve seen a lot of information saying the smaller the better but not sure if I like the looks of the smaller wheels. Thanks for the feedback.

Did you inform insurance about the boost in speed too will they charge a couple hundred more since it's now more prone to accidents

[@PaceyPimp]

Do you get drag mode?

[@JeremyMcGill]

Performance ludicrous mode incoming

[@MichaelThwaite]

It looks like difference between the original Roadster normal 3.9 versus Sport 3.7 - it's all in the takeoff. The power is the same but the point at which full power begins is a lot lower at takeoff with the original Roadster Sport - the sport firmware anticipated wider tires. In this case it looks like the performance firmware launches more quickly as the suspension and tires are expected to be there to handle it.

[@mmark300]

They boosted 0-60, but still not as much as the performance model. I discuss it here: I tested the boost upgrade before/after, getting 0-60 and 1/4 mile times with the dragy.

Does the Model Y have the performance upgrade?

[@genokearney]

Yes. It is offered in the app.

[@sakimano]

Yes they made it way too close. If I owned a P3D I'd be kinda disappointed in tesla.

[@dreiak]

Why? The Performance version is still faster, still has more power, and still has track mode. Nobody pays for a performance tesla because it is worth the money for the upgrade, they do it because they want it, and can afford it. The most practical Tesla's are the basic long range ones, and they are plenty fast, and keep up just fine on the top end as well, it is just that you don't get quite the same launch from a stop without AWD, or the larger output inverters on the performance versions.

[@mmark300]

0-60 is closer, but still not much of a contest - I discussed it here: I tested the boost upgrade before/after, getting 0-60 and 1/4 mile times with the dragy.

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.
