Introduction
Tesla released Acceleration Boost for the refreshed Model Y as an OTA upgrade. For a one-time purchase, owners reduce 0-60 mph by ~0.5 seconds, bringing performance closer to the Performance trim without buying a new car.
What Changes
The upgrade adjusts the inverter control algorithm for more power from the dual-motor system. The result is quicker acceleration across the speed range — noticeable in highway merging and passing.
How to Buy
- Open the Tesla app
- Go to Upgrades
- Select Acceleration Boost and purchase
- Installs OTA within minutes
Is It Worth It?
At ~$2,000, this is a cost-effective middle ground for owners wanting more performance without upgrading to the full Performance variant, which also adds Track Mode, bigger brakes, and suspension upgrades. See the Model Y Performance comparison for details.
