The Tesla Model 3 Thread

How do these dudes all have different power figures for the same car? Very weird.
 
Tesla Model 3 Performance

Six years after the first Model 3 Performance deliveries, Tesla is launching the new Model 3 Performance: a highly differentiated performance trim that leverages Tesla's latest manufacturing and engineering capabilities to create what Tesla consider to be a perfect, high-performance daily driver.

Building on the quality and platform improvements of the latest Model 3, the new Model 3 Performance delivers the most driver-focused experience, yet.

Performance-Tuned Chassis

The new Tesla Model 3 Performance leverages the latest Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) and comfort improvements of the new Model 3, plus bespoke chassis hardware that deliver performance and stiffness improvement while reducing mass, including adaptive dampers with hollow damper piston rods, multi-sectioned stabilizer bar, ultra-high strength steel springs, and stiffer suspension top mounts.

With these updates, Tesla built a more capable, performance-oriented chassis that maximizes the effectiveness of the new technologies found under the skin.

Most Powerful Model 3 Yet

The latest generation performance drive unit - Performance 4DU - unlocks more torque, power and better efficiency. Compared to the previous Model 3 Performance drive unit, the Performance 4DU can deliver up to +22% continuous power, +32% peak power, and +16% peak torque delivery. Behind the wheel, drivers will sense more immediate and sustained acceleration out of corners. That's the beauty of more torque!

The new Tesla Model 3 Performance is finally official with 510hp

Tesla's initial Model 3 refresh from last year (which made it to North America in January) didn't include the Performance version, but now the new Model 3 Performance has finally been unveiled, following weeks of leaks and rumors. Despite what some of those claimed, it's still called Model 3 Performance, not Model 3 Ludicrous or anything crazy like that.

It comes with 510 hp and 741 Nm of peak torque, a top speed of 262 km/h and an acceleration from 0 to 97 km/h of 2.9 seconds. Estimated EPA range is 476 km, while in the WLTP cycle it's 528 km. Compared to the previous Model 3 Performance the new drive unit can deliver 22% more continuous power, 32% more peak power, and 16% improved peak torque. And all of this is apparently achieved with lower total energy consumption.

It's not called Ludicrous after all.

Check out Unplugged's carbon fibre Tesla Model 3 Performance aero kit

California-based Tesla tuner creates a new kit for the fastest Model 3

Secured yourself a new Tesla Model 3 Performance but want the looks to match the erm... performance? Well, the folks at Unplugged Performance (whole lot of performance going on here) have you covered with this new carbon fibre aero kit.

The Californian tuning company has turned out an aftermarket upgrade for the Model 3 which lowers the front end and makes the whole thing look really rather angry. There’s also a retrimmed rear diffuser and a fairly hefty rear wing for track enthusiasts to max out downforce.

We're told that the carbon fibre kit is modular and the bits can be bought individually, as part of a front end kit, or as a full aero pack depending on how aggressive you would like your EV to look.

Each piece was created using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), which is a proper fancy way of saying they were created virtually in a digital space before they were fabricated in the real world in pre-preg carbon fibre. The point is, they’ve been developed to fit seamlessly into the pre-existing form of the Model 3 Performance.
