New vehicles today are, in many ways, computers on four wheels with a steering wheel. Analog technologies are nearly a thing of the past as the industry moves towards electrification, autonomous driving, and greater use of over-the-air updates. Tesla has been and remains one of the industry leaders in all three areas, but it can't do everything perfectly.
Tesla owners can purchase additional features for their car via the online store. One such feature is the $2,000 Acceleration Boost for the Tesla Model 3 Dual Motor.
According to Electrek, however, a Canadian company has figured out a hack that unlocks this feature and they're charging nearly half the price. Simon Andre is an EV reseller and repair shop based in Quebec, Canada and, out of sheer curiosity, wanted to see if it'd be possible to upgrade a Model 3 RWD to Dual Motor AWD simply by adding an electric motor. It worked, but they also discovered something else.
