Do you have 3 different driving selections now because of this? I don’t have the boost and I only have 2 driving levels. I believe it’s Chill and Standard.

Background-Math3950 2026-02-12 20:57

Negative 2. Chill and sport

Mutombinho 2026-02-12 20:59

Ah ok. I think the Performance is the one that unlocks 3 then. What is it about the boost that makes it worth it for you? Genuinely curious.

Background-Math3950 2026-02-12 21:04

Fast all round speed. Kicks way harder. Much better sport mode

rlap38 2026-02-12 22:54

Makes it easier to get around the road boulder who speeds up every time you try to pass them

FitterOver40 2026-02-13 00:04

nice.. but we use FSD so often, AB won't make a diff for us.

AltruisticPapaya1415 2026-02-13 01:56

My performance only has chill and sport.

Mutombinho 2026-02-13 01:57

Hmmm I wonder if this is when a performance purchases ludicrous add-on which then shows 3.

AltruisticPapaya1415 2026-02-13 02:00

Ludicrous hasn’t been sold for like 7 years but yeah. The model x loaner I had the other week also had ‘insane’

Mutombinho 2026-02-13 02:02

I see. I thought maybe the boost would enable that on a performance based on your drive modes. I guess ludicrous and insane were prior drive modes no longer offered.

AltruisticPapaya1415 2026-02-13 02:11

Ludicrous is no longer, insane still is. Both of which only come on S and X. 3 and Y only ever got performance as their highest trim.

iwontgiveumyusernane 2026-02-13 03:23

Can you set the AB per profile… I mean I love it.. my wife does not and I was wondering if I could disable it on her profile

Wants-NotNeeds 2026-02-13 05:06

Mad Max + Boost = Oh Yeah!

NMSky301 2026-02-13 05:44

Road boulder 🤣 I’ll never understand why slow people do the speeding up thing. Drives me insane.

Far-Curve-7497 2026-02-13 07:29

3 and y refreshed performance should have insane mode.

adysss 2026-02-13 08:06

For anyone who tested both the pre-Juniper with AB and Juniper with AB. How does it compare?

lurkingtonbear 2026-02-13 09:43

I have never had a problem with anyone even without the acceleration boost in 2021MY or 2023MY. People cannot hang.

cloudsofgrey 2026-02-13 10:52

My 2026 Performance has three and I keep in insane mode. It's very tame at normal acceleration and then can haul ass when you put the medal down.

dw-c137 2026-02-13 11:20

Mad Max has never come anywhere close to using even the stock power available without the boost for me, boost should basically only increase the available acceleration when flooring it and I can't imagine FSD would ever do that unless they someday make a rally mode, or an I misunderstanding something?

redbandit88 2026-02-13 12:28

Can’t you just put her profile on chill?

AquaticFilter 2026-02-13 12:53

It replaces “standard” with “sport” and chill remains. I did a trial refund to test it last year. That’s how it works contemporarily on a Y.

MhVRNewbie 2026-02-13 13:33

Any timings?

Background-Math3950 2026-02-13 14:29

Soon

Ckn-bns-jns 2026-02-13 14:52

Here in Orange County, CA a lot of those boulders are other Teslas. I love driving my wife’s MYP but there’s definitely a reputation here with so many bad drivers (Irvine in particular 😂)

zipcad 2026-02-13 16:01

Do you really notice .5 seconds?

brewzzin 2026-02-13 16:12

I have insane mode on my '24 Highland Performance

oxyi 2026-02-13 16:19

Yes. No joke. But keep an eye out on the tires. I had too much fun with it and had to replace my tire early lol.

MhVRNewbie 2026-02-13 16:31

.5 secs is massive

rlap38 2026-02-13 17:13

Other subs lump Tesla drivers with Prius drivers as road boulders. Why would you buy one of the fastest production cars and be a road boulder?

rlap38 2026-02-13 17:14

In the San Francisco Bay Area, many people are very anti-Tesla and do everything they can to either keep us from passing or they’ll brake check us just for fun.

Ckn-bns-jns 2026-02-13 17:32

I don’t get it either but it’s definitely a thing here. Same types will leave a football field between their car and the car in front of them at stop lights or in traffic as well. I love how it can accelerate so fast to get you out of a pickle or get around people merging onto the freeway going 30mph.

lurkingtonbear 2026-02-13 20:06

And unless they have an incredible car, they’re not going to keep you from passing, whether you have acceleration boost or not.

2ManySpliffs 2026-02-14 04:20

When I see a Tesla driving slowly like that, I just assume they have range anxiety.

tanksboard 2026-02-14 22:52

Man I’ve been itching to purchase
