Let’s get straight to the roast and what matters most. The new Model 3 Performance has 517 horses and 740 Nm of torque, managing to do 0-100 in 2.9 seconds, i.e. 0.32 seconds faster than the previous model. The top speed is now at 262 km/h.
The autonomy it offers with one charge is 528 km.
Of course, Tesla didn’t just deal with better performance as it upgraded the suspension for better body control with a new Track Mode function. Track Mode V3 also improves the drivetrain, while the new high-performance brakes have improved stopping power and better heat management. New 20-inch forged wheels also help with weight loss.
Slight visual changes to the front and rear of the body differentiate the Performance model from the rest of the Model 3 range, while also reducing the drag coefficient. The new diffuser and a carbon fiber spoiler deliver a five percent reduction in drag and a 36 percent reduction in lift compared to the previous Performance model.
We also find some carbon fiber accents in the cabin which come in sporty harmony with the sport bucket seats that have improved reinforcement and ventilation function.
The model is already available for purchase in our country.
