Tesla Model 3 RWD Standard Range Plus

The Tesla Model 3 RWD Standard Range Plus reaches 60 mph in 5.30 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.84 s, tripping the lights at 103.4 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.34 s and the eighth mile in 9.05 s, reaching 100 mph in 12.90 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 RWD Standard Range Plus

The 2019 Tesla Model 3 RWD Standard Range Plus is a rear-drive electric car of 1,611 kg with 321 bhp, which works out at 199 bhp per tonne. With full torque from a standstill it clears the first 60 ft in 2.34 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 103.4 mph. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 1,566th quickest to 60 mph, and the 12th quickest of the 13 Teslas here. Its 103.4 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.

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 RWD Standard Range Plus 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.

Figures regenerated 2026-09-01. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
