Model Y Performance vs Long Range Battery Difference

[Nameless0ne]

Does anyone know why the Model Y Performance has more power than the Long Range if they both have the same 75kw battery?

Different rear motor(now), at least for model 3's. I suspect the model Y is the same(different) motor. Do a search for "980".

Early AWD model 3's were limited in software to have the rear motor put out less power, even though the AWD and P versions had exactly the same hardware.

The model Y performance has two motors like the long range but the rear motor is larger unlike the long range. Gone are the days when you could for $2000 buy the acceleration boost software upgrade which brings the model Y long range dangerously close to the model Y performance 0 to 60 time just about one car length max.

It makes sense they suspended the acceleration boost option because it makes the car too close to the performance.

Since when? The option to purchase the Acceleration Boost upgrade (price $2,000 US) appears within the Tesla app on the upgrade page after you take delivery of the Tesla Long Range Model Y or Long Range Model 3.

Can you substantiate this with some proof / official announcement that this was removed? If not, this sort of comes across as deliberate misdirection.

I totally agree. You better bring proof before stating such statement. People would have then been turned off Tesla if they did that.

My 23 MY has at least an 80+kw battery. New showed 79200 usable. I think that equates to around 82kw battery.

Performance model Y has a different inverter on the rear motor - it has more FETa and can handle more power. Due to this the acceleration boost unlocks only part of the power. But in my experience it was still substantial.

I call BS.

Acceleration Boost remains available on the Tesla App.

What are you talking about?

 

[DiyEvRepair]

Both cars have the same exact motors. Newer non-performance cars have a different inverter though, but they can still get acceleration boost.

Circling back to the OP's original question:

They share the exact same battery.
