The Tesla Model 3 Thread

What am I missing?

Is Musk saying he doesn’t know why it’s called that? Or that he doesn’t know where the name came from?
It hard to guess at this point. He was firmly in the we never called it Highland camp yet it is listed in that part.

At that stage it is anyone's guess what is the real truth lol
 
Tesla Model 3 Ludicrous version poses for exterior and interior photo shoot

Tesla has so far refreshed the Model 3, but not what used to be called the Performance version. This has recently been rumored to get a name change to Model 3 Ludicrous, and its launch now seems imminent, considering the fact that a lot of these cars are showing up left and right with no camo on them whatsoever.

Case in point: the images below were captured by a Reddit user in a parking lot, where multiple Model 3 Ludicrous units were.

The shots show us the exterior, in two colors no less, as well as some interior details, like the bucket-style seats. The Reddit user who took these photos says there is carbon fiber on the dashboard, replacing the gray fabric strip in the not-Ludicrous refreshed Model 3s. The carbon fiber is "much more flush with the dash", however.

Tesla's own website leaks Model 3 Performance specs

The anticipated Performance version of its refreshed Model 3 is seemingly just around the corner. While Tesla has been characteristically tight-lipped, a leak from its own website has revealed some key details early. Fans combed through the source code on Tesla's UK website and uncovered details about the updated performance model that promises more power and some design changes.

The code reveals Tesla will be hyping the new Model 3 Performance as the most powerful yet, thanks to its "all-new high-performance drive units." While no specific figures are mentioned the page mentions "output exceeding 500 horsepower".

The leak also confirms another long-suspected upgrade - adaptive suspension. Tesla's in-house software will control this new system, promising to alternate between comfortable ride and sharp handling as needed. Tesla promises improved responsiveness with the latest generation of driving mode software, which will integrate suspension controls and a tweaked powertrain. Version 3 of its Track Mode software is also on board. It allows drivers to fine-tune settings like handling balance, stability controls, and even regenerative braking.


 
New Tesla Model 3 Performance bares it all in latest video

The launch of the refreshed Tesla Model 3 Performance is tantalizingly close, with leaks reaching a fever pitch. The all-new fastest Model 3 has been spotted numerous times — both in the US and in Europe. The latest photos and the first high-resolution video come from Santa Monica, US, courtesy of X user JeffTutorials.

The Model 3 in the video is undoubtedly the new performance version. It has the new sports seats, the rear carbon fiber spoiler, and the large wheels hide the upgraded brakes. The car clearly sits lower to the ground, courtesy of the recently revealed upgraded suspension. The ultra-red Model 3 also sports a distinctive front bumper with prominent side air intakes.
