Tesla made available for Model Y Dual Motor a optional software update which allows you to improve acceleration skills of the electric SUV. Is called “Acceleration Boost“and in the past it was already offered on the Model 3 Dual Motor as well. For those who like to “skid” at every green of the traffic light, the American brand offers a very simple, even if not cheap, way to increase vehicle performance. This update, in fact, costs $ 2,000 but it allows you to improve the shot from 0 to 60 miles per hour (96 Km / h) by half a second. The time drops from 4.8 to 4.3 seconds.
The package you buy directly from the Tesla mobile app in a few simple steps. Acceleration Boost can also be seen as a good compromise between those who want to have high performance but do not want to buy the Performance version of the electric SUV which costs much more than the Dual Motor. It is true that it offers larger rims, higher top speed and more but if what matters is just the ability to accelerate, this paid upgrade can be a good solution, provided that the budget is not an issue, of course.

For Tesla, it’s also a nice marketing move to demonstrate once again the benefits of owning a connected car. No manufacturer today offers such an important improvement in terms of performance through a simple software update that can be carried out through an app and without having to go to the dealership. The American company says that in order to apply this “patch” which improves performance, you must already have the 2020.36 version of the car software.
The update, in fact, only unlocks capabilities already present in the car. For this, in America there are some companies that deal with tuning who offer the same thing but at a much lower price. A practice, however, that Tesla is not liking. Elon Musk’s company is in fact working to “block” via software the possibility of making these unauthorized changes.
