Note: Initially, we published a 0-60 time of 3.51 seconds, 0-100 in 8.84, and a quarter-mile of 12.07 seconds at 114 mph. The braking is prodigious, too, with 60-0 and 80-0 distances on par with a BMW M3 on carbon ceramics.Įd. Keep the pedal nailed, and you'll hit a 155-mph top speed that's 15 mph higher than the base Model 3. Our testing measured a 0-60 time of 3.3 seconds, 0-100 in 8.6, and a quarter-mile of 11.8 seconds at 113.7 mph. Like the gnarliest versions of models S and X, this all-wheel-drive 3 launches from a standstill like a rifle shot. When Musk unexpectedly tweeted about how this car would spank its most noted rival on track, the team saw it as full permission to get the feature ready for rollout.
Gearheads within Tesla had been dying to add such a feature for years. Hidden in a menu on its center-dash touchscreen, this particular car has a new Track Mode that gives it capabilities no previous Tesla has offered. Like the car you see here-the Tesla Model 3 Performance, with 450 horsepower, 471 lb-ft of torque and dual-motor all-wheel drive.
Those off-the-cuff tweets can lead to real-world outcomes. You envision engineers, designers and public-relations managers leaping into action, trying to figure out what the eccentric billionaire industrialist is talking about now, how his latest statement will affect the thousands of hard-working people he employs. It's easy to imagine a Musk tweet catching the folks who work for his car company-or his rocket company, his solar panel company, his brain-computer interface company or his tunnel digging company-completely off-guard. Thoughts leave the top of his head and plop in front of his 22.3 million followers with no steps in between. Tesla CEO Elon Musk uses Twitter the way most of us use our inner-monologue voice. It started, as so many things do these days, with a tweet. The software that customers will get has been lightly altered from the pre-production version we tested in the review below, which was originally published August 3, 2018. Update, November 8, 2018: Today, Tesla made the final version of its Track Mode software available to Model 3 Performance customers.
