Remember, a few years ago, Tesla was talking about a new update for its Model 3, aimed at boosting the vehicle. Updating your vehicle, like updating your smartphone or video game console, is no longer exceptional today. However, like certain content, updates intended for automobiles can be paid for, and this was the case with this Acceleration Boost option.
The new Tesla Model 3 offers a new (paid) option
Today, it’s the turn of the Tesla Model 3 Highland in the Long Autonomy version to make headlines again. This new generation of Model 3 welcomes this same Acceleration Boost option, aiming to fully exploit the potential of the vehicle.

Thus, owners of a new Tesla Model 3 will in turn be able to afford the valuable option, priced at 3,000 Australian dollars. Once the update is installed, you immediately benefit from brand new power, with a vehicle now capable of going from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds, compared to 4.4 seconds before the update. .
Currently, this new Acceleration Boost option is being deployed, initially in Asia and China. In total, the option would unlock just under 90 hp of power on the new Tesla Model 3 Grande Autonomy. Not necessarily negligible, but on condition that you are willing to put your hand in your wallet.
Remember that Tesla is constantly striving to evolve its offering, through updates obviously, but also new versions, intended to meet a certain demand. This is the case of the small Model Y electric SUV, now available in a 7-seater configuration. A novelty obviously aimed at attracting large families and drivers needing a versatile vehicle.
Finally, it should be noted that Tesla now offers a new self-service test system in France, even if it is not yet available in all Tesla centers. The sites offering this option are clearly identified by the mention “Self-service test drive” Or “Remote test”. If you are interested, it is possible to book a trial here by checking if the service is close to you.
