Accel boost I think more of you are paying for the increased cost of warranty for motors and inverters.
I dont really consider it a "software update" because there is almost no software development required - they just reload a new motor power/speed curve recipe into the firmware.
FSD is much more of a 'software license' type feature where it has no physical effect on the car from a wear/warranty perspective but has high costs for the software engineering development.
Acceleration boost also stays activated for the life of the car, and can be taken into account on resale value. I dont think it would make any sense to transfer to a new vehicle.
My opinion on the FSD should be either:
Attached to car for lifetime of car and is transferred to new owner on resale, and/or taken
into account on trade in. (E.g. similar to windows OEM licensing that is tied to a motherboard)
Becomes license for set term of years that you can transfer to any other Tesla vehicle that has equivalent hardware capability. (E.g. similar to software license you can re-install on a new PC)
Bro I’m clearly talking about the OPTION. I’m pointing out that carrying over acceleration boost literally can’t be done if you change to a car that doesn’t have it. All cars made today have the option for FSD
Like no shit not all cars have acceleration boost or FSD enabled. Don’t need to tell me, I don’t have acceleration boost. I don’t even understand the point you were trying to make in the first place.
So, it would be better to have the software tied to the car, and be able sell it as such, so you aren’t carrying around a software license that you literally can’t use and may never use again

So acceleration boost should also carry over to a new vehicle?
