Really depends on the car, some are going to require major upgrades that could easily exceed $2k, while some cars might literally just need a tune which could be less than $1k. Generally speaking, most mid to high end (40k-120k) modern sports cars, an extra 100 to the wheel will prob end up around that 2k mark, if you don't do that work yourself.
John… Do you own a Model LR? The only thing the boost does is make it slightly faster. It doesn’t get any of the suspension and brake upgrades, it doesn’t get any of the exterior styling and functionality, it doesn’t get the track mode (I assume) and the other software, it doesn’t get the sport seats and maybe most of all, it doesn’t have the 4DU motor. The boost is a fun upgrade, but it’s very misleading to tell people watching your videos it has “all the Upgrades” of the M3P. This isn’t the prior M3LR vs M3P where just getting the boost brought them much closer together.
I made it pretty clear near the end of the video that you’ll miss out on those aesthetics and if you’re into that then the perf is for you, otherwise the LR with boost beats it in range and comfort and is perfectly suited for 99 percent of people. But yup you make good points that the performance model is still superior in many ways I agree
Top speed is still limited to 125 mph. So, you might get the jump on a previous M3LR without AB, but it will eventually catch up and pass the M3LR Highland.
I honestly think they'll do the same thing with the M3P. It'd be sacrilegious for it to wear a "Ludicrous" badge without an actual setting for it. I'm hoping I can snag one next month if they make some color options tax-credit eligible again at a reasonable APR. It's killing me to wait, but I'm thinking it'll be worth it in the long run.
As soon as it drops I’m getting it !!! Besides styling wouldn’t you say the handling is much better on the performance , well it’s made specifically for this. My refresh LR is fast but in corners it gets away from itself. Are you saying with this boost the LR will now get better handling 🤔🤔
IMO… the new performance model 3 handles better and can take turns like a champ. You can set the driving to standard and it’s smooth. Hands down…this is Tesla’s best car for the buck. It pretty much beats anything on the road today. ⚡️😎
The performance I still king on the track and handles amazing, but the LR is no slouch especially now with the acceleration boost! But Boost + some additional tuning and parts would make it similar or better than the stock performance
No only hp increase. Handling is the same. Highland SR/LR are designed for comfort and efficiency and not performance and handling. Only thing I dont like about Highland vs legacy is that the handling is noticeably worse. Thats the price of comfort suspension+tires.
Traditional production gasoline and diesel powered vehicles and also supersport motorcycles never give the full power up front. You have to find an ECU tuner who can unlock the locked ECU and then spend hours dialing everything in perfectly on the dyno. Essentially the more expensive models higher in the trim range come with more performance stock.
It’s rolling out gradually to current owners and haven’t been updated on the website yet and not available to everyone right away. Although I’m seeing many owners in Asia being offered this option in the app now
I looked too and I don't see where this info comes from, but recently Tesla came up with a new improved motor which increased power by 100 hp, so could be true.
I wonder how much that affects mileage? I mean we all want the of Best of both worlds? But it's not just a price cost, there is a mileage cost for it. If you find anything that does tell that, that would be beneficial?
Turning on “Sport Mode” after buying the acceleration boost doesn’t affect mileage, I’ve personally tested this myself and can confirm. But what does affect mileage is how hard you mash the pedal because its much more enticing now
@heyJohnEe So you're saying if I drive it conservative on chill mode, I'll still get the same mileage? Now? Now that does mean that it's worth it to me, if it does not affect distance unless I want it to by just driving way too sporty.
@hutchrt0596 yup that’s exactly it. Even if you leave it on sport mode and drive conservatively it will be just as good mileage as if you left it in chill mode
Anyone in the car modification scene can share any info on how much it would cost to gain an additional 100HP - is it more or less than $2000?

You don’t get the brakes, the adaptive suspension and additional aero. It’s not necessarily a better value. It’s less expensive.
That’s true, but not everyone takes it to the track either to take advantage of those things
@@heyJohnEereal cars take advantage of those things without going to the track

I think the same, no way they intentionally put a ludicrous badge and then simply call it a performance model 🤷♂️
finally. I want my m3 long range rwd to hit 3.5 sec lol
Unfortunately this is limited to just the long range AWD, although they might offer something similar soon to RWD models too

Hear me out…. How about give the full power up front lol
Haha then the price would be increased by $2000 upfront, even for those who don’t need it

@lczspeed yup what he said too 👆
I hope battery technology gets better for super long range and possibly camping vans
Yes me too, Andrew! 😎
It depends on what they want for it in the US and what 0 - 60 times people are actually getting. $2K for .6 seconds, probably not
That’s fair. I think the acceleration boost is for a very small group of people
I live in Hong Kong and I don't think you can purchase the acceleration boost here sadly
It’s rolling out gradually to current owners and haven’t been updated on the website yet and not available to everyone right away. Although I’m seeing many owners in Asia being offered this option in the app now
When will the ludicrous badged performance get ludicrous mode unlocked?!!
That’s something we’re all dying to know!
I just had a look on the Australian Tesla website and there’s no option to get the performance boost
It is still rolling out to current owners, but hasn’t been updated on the website yet but will in the next few days I believe
I looked too and I don't see where this info comes from, but recently Tesla came up with a new improved motor which increased power by 100 hp, so could be true.
I live in Australia and I just bought it.
@@falkdroste9895I can’t
@falkdroste9895 awesome!! How is it?!

@heyJohnEe you're awesome Bro! Thanks for the reply.
@hutchrt0596 np!
Get M3LR with acceleration boost for less than the Performance. Gets the $7500 Tax Credit!
The Performance also has the tax credit if you order the standard grey paint.
What he said 👆although the LR still beats it in range and probably also comfort
