The unification of some of the equipment of Tesla's serial electric vehicles allows the company to programmatically block those functionality for which the client is not ready to pay immediately. You can also get access to them during the operation of the car by paying extra for Tesla through a mobile application. For the Tesla Model Y crossover, a $2000 surcharge allows you to reduce the acceleration time to “hundreds” by 0,5 s.
The corresponding option recently appeared in the list of available purchases for owners of all-wheel drive versions of the Tesla Model Y, as noted by . The manufacturer explains that in order to reduce the acceleration time to 96 km / h from 4,8 to 4,3 seconds, the car owner must upgrade to software version 2020.36, and also pay $ 2000. You can do this directly from your smartphone, literally without leaving your car.
The dynamics of the electric car is improved by the software optimizations applied, and all the necessary hardware is already on board every instance of the Tesla Model Y. There are companies that try to achieve such modifications by unofficial methods, but Tesla constantly blocks their changes in the software when the next official updates are released.
The Tesla Model Y Performance electric car is capable of accelerating to 96 km/h in 3,5 seconds, but it is $10 more expensive than the base crossover variant with two electric motors and all-wheel drive. The package of the older version of the Model Y also includes wheels of a different size, lowered suspension and enhanced braking system. The maximum speed of such a crossover is also higher. It turns out that a $000 surcharge allows you to get some of the dynamics of the older configuration for a much smaller amount, without having to interfere with the equipment of an electric car.
