At the very most the battery is putting out 462 KW(~620 HP). We know that from the “Max Discharge Value”. It is the same battery. That max discharge value hasn’t changed. A Hellcat is 700+ HP. The Hellcat can shift gears and stay at or near that 700+ maximum HP the whole time. With a single...

I think a 100% stock US based Model 3 Performance will be able to match that time if the battery is optimized fully.

Apparently black seats is the kiss of death for the Model 3 Performance in the US. This car was ordered much later than mine but they are telling me mid July now and I ordered right away on day one. If I had just ordered white seats this wouldn’t have been an issue like it is now.

That is the run we saw before from a test drive. The 0-40 mph is great. It matches my best gutted run and then the anchor just gets thrown out for the 40-60 mph. Here is my best 100% stock run with a 2022 Model 3 Performance vs. that new MIC car. Then the 3rd run is my quickest run with a...

I am not certain that a US based 2024 Model 3 Performance isn’t quicker than that. Hard to judge 0-100 kph vs 0-60 mph though.

Those Demon 170s are blowing up left and right. All of the YouTubers who have them have broken them already. They rarely trap that high too. They get a good launch with perfect prep. Otherwise they just spin the tires for days.

They have to know when to expect cars. The “Delivery” guy at the desk said it was no problem for him to lookup my order and see when the build is currently scheduled for. The issue is that the build date truly is fluid and it can change either direction. I think the people that work at Tesla...

2024 Model 3 Performance is what he was referring to specifically with that comment. They move a ton of cars through that dealership but we were only referring to the Model 3 Performance at that specific moment.

Capitalism. It’s what’s for dinner.

Remember Tesla is still telling people who order one today that they should get it in June. They are not above simply lying about predicted dates. We have seen it before and we will continue to see it again and again.

Are you a 121536 or lower? He was reading directly from his screen and he said it was showing a predicted build date of 7/2/24. It may be wrong but his screen was definitely telling him that information.

Order Update: I got my confirmation email at 12:24 PM on 4/23/24 Eastern time for a Red/Black. My order number is RN121536XXX and my delivery estimate was May-Jun and then it switched to May 28 - June 30 early on and hasn’t changed since. I went into the Raleigh Tesla location today and they...

The difference is more 50-150 lbs depending on whether you choose a RWD or AWD M3.

Congrats!

It is really very important to understand how quick the Model S LR is at higher speeds. It can do a 7.59 second 60-130 mph. That is great for a full size sedan that isn’t $150k+. The Model 3 will never do that without two permanent magnet motors and a much bigger battery. If you are expecting...
