Tesla offers paid Acceleration Boost for the new Model Y
In the US, Tesla has started offering an Acceleration Boost for the new Model Y. It can be purchased for $2,000 in the Tesla app, and allegedly adds about 100 hp, letting the car go from 0 to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds, compared to 4.6 seconds without this package.
That's not a huge improvement, granted, but for those who are still patiently waiting for the new Model Y Performance, it could be a way to make them stop waiting and get the Long Range All Wheel Drive (LR AWD) version and then purchase the Acceleration Boost to get close.
BREAKING: @Tesla has released the “Acceleration Boost” paid software upgrade for the refresh 2026 Model Y (Juniper).

It adds about 100hp and reduces 0-60s time from 4.6s to 4.2s. It’s probably the best value in automotive performance on the market. pic.twitter.com/fhybdbajHB
Right now, Tesla is still only selling the new Model Y in LR AWD form in the US, even though rumors had claimed we'd also see an RWD model and the Performance version.

In the old times, if you bought a Foo that could do X, you could do X. No more! Another fine example of Tesla Innovation.

Soon Tesla will ask to pay for a car and then you need to pay extra to drive it
