What is the Tesla Model 3 Performance 0-60 time?

The Tesla Model 3 Performance reaches 60 mph in 3.30 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 475th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the Tesla Model 3 Performance quarter mile time?

11.79 s at 116.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 7.52 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.76 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How much power does the Tesla Model 3 Performance have?

460 bhp and 1,844 kg, which is 249 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, electric, with 1 gears and a quoted top speed of 262 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

What cars are comparable to the Tesla Model 3 Performance?

Closest here on pace: BMW i4 M50 (3.36 s), BMW i4 M60 (3.24 s), Porsche Panamera Turbo S Mk I (3.41 s). Each one can be raced against the Tesla Model 3 Performance in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

Are these real measured times?

No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Tesla Model 3 Performance is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 8 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Tesla Model 3 Performance

The Tesla Model 3 Performance reaches 60 mph in 3.30 s (100 km/h in 3.51 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 11.79 s, tripping the lights at 116.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.76 s and the eighth mile in 7.52 s, reaching 100 mph in 8.59 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Model 3 Performance

The 2024 Tesla Model 3 Performance is an all-wheel-drive electric car of 1,844 kg with 460 bhp, which works out at 249 bhp per tonne. With full torque from a standstill it clears the first 60 ft in 1.76 s, and the question for an electric car is usually not the launch but whether it keeps pulling: it trips the quarter-mile lights at 116.0 mph. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 475th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest five per cent, and the 4th quickest of the 17 Teslas here. Its 116.0 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 8 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.
