Can't wait for CarWow to drag race this with 55% charge

Are there any quarter mile tests yet from reviews?

Draggy is pretty accurate and this has been tested over and over. It's pretty common knowledge how accurate it is. It comes with hardware that allows access to the more accurate satellite signals that don't exist in any phone (because phones don't need that level of accuracy like speed in the...

The hellcat was the first to do it at 70k bone stock. I had a 2017 Dodge Charger Hellcat and that ran 10.8 with just street drag radials and an intake (no tune) on a 90 degree day. 10 second sedans are pretty common now and they can be had for great value used and minimal mods. An RS3 with an...

It's a strange concept I know. It's like people don't know how threads work. Last thing I wanna read about when I see that notification on the model 3 performance speculation discussion thread is yet another off topic discussion on Porches or whatever 🙃

Or you can just not post until there's something new worth talking about.

That means we have to wait until April 2nd to find out Ludicrous was just a prank all along.

You haven't proven anything. Well, except you're not a racer....which you've admitted to. Everyone knows the M3P has weak acceleration beyond 60mph, and gets trampled on the highway by other cars. Everyone it seems....except you, who is a self admitted non racer trying to make racer arguments...

At 120 the Model 3 Performance is REALLY out of breath and just a sitting duck to be walked. The V8's just keep pulling at that speed.

If that's your basis, you're wrong. These calculators are generic and don't take into account the real power and torque curves that electric vehicles have. Also it's clear you've never rolled race before. When I had my Hellcat it was always etiquette for 60 rolls to go up 140 or even 160. That...

I'm afraid when you're on the highway the Mustang GT lined up next to you isn't gonna wait for you to heat up the battery, and heating up the battery all the time "just in case" isn't really practical. Hopefully the new M3P solves that.

If my Aunty had balls she would be my Uncle lol. Sorry couldn't resist. These are the cars that we have now. I don't think pointing out a niche car with a slower top end should be used to justify another car's slower top end, that's a fallacy. Mustang GT's are really common and there's a...

Now compare that to the regular, cheaper 10 speed Mustang GT

This is a dumb argument. Why buy any car over 400hp, heck 300hp, if you spend 99% of the time below 100mph. You should tell all those car manufacturers that sell 400,500,600 + hp cars they will never have a single sale..... oh wait... Down in Florida there's highways everywhere and long...

The highway?

Not to mention, wasn't the Model 3 Performance always faster than the base Model S? In 2018 - 2022 a Model 3 Performance was always faster than a Model S P75D or base long range. It wasn't until the updated motor changes to the 2022 Model S Long Range that made the base model S faster than a...

It's unfortunate that a recent majority of it has nothing to do with Highland Model 3 performance speculation thanks to several people too stubborn to keep this thread on topic.

That guy is mpgxsvcd, the same person you were having a conversation with here 😅

Every time I get that little notification and come in here, I look for a discussion based on the thread title but find way off discussions instead like the Plaid vs Taycan. Wasn't this thread closed temporarily not too long ago for going off topic? Does that need to be the case again?

11.1 @ 123? That's faster than 99.9999% of all Tesla Model 3 Performances out there. But, the North American version seems to be headed to a price range closer to the Model S Long Range, which is the faster car. If I'm spending that much (and dealer markup needs to be factored in as well) I'd...

It's not just Kia, or BMW, there's that pesky Dodge Charger EV also coming out that's going to aim for marketshare as well. The M3P has some stiff competition already and more to come. It's foolish for Tesla to think maintaining the status quo on the M3P is going to do well for them in the next...

I read the whole thing and the discussion veered into new highland performance speculation (nothing about tracking) and you come out and say the other new EVs are slower. If you meant tracking, you should mention that specifically. I'm not the only one here who's interested in straight line...

Ah I see, you're referring to tracking the car. I don't think any SUV or crossover are going to be good track vehicles. But for me and many others, drag racing numbers are more relevant because it directly translates what you can do at the dragstrip (or stoplight or highway). In this aspect the...

Kia EV6 GT is slower than a M3P? It's only slightly slower 0-60 but after 60mph it leaves the M3P behind. It's a 121/122mph trapping vehicle compared to 117/118 on the M3P. And they have the same heavy wheel problem the M3P's do, which means you can swap out those heavy wheels with lighter...

From that statement how did you draw the conclusion of a 30k Tesla or a 30k BMW?

I never mentioned a 30k Performance model or a 30k BMW. Where are you drawing your conclusions from? It's okay to say you misread or didn't understand.

So it looks like the Highland Model 3 Performance is going to get a motor (and thus performance) upgrade? If so, and it makes the new model 3 finally have a good top end and run low 11's easily at 120+, we're looking at a new affordable street king. Not that the current M3P wasn't already, but...

I thought there isn't a blind spot. Once you turn the signal you get a live camera view of your side, and the system will alert you if you try to move over if a car is there already. Even if you never turn on your signal you see all nearby cars live on the touch screen display and if a car was...

Where's the rest of the car since this is the Model S for sale forum and not Tesla parts?

All stock and what charge?

How many other people have actually achieved a 120+ trap speed (without significant weight reduction)?

I've had my Model 3 Performance for two weeks now and already thinking about trading it for a Plaid. It never gets old smashing the pedal.

I'm finding even from a 40mph roll the car has amazing punch but the falloff does come quicker. Wonder if the M3P has the potential for another software performance update, even if just 5% more power to the top. The low end is already amazingly strong and good as is.

Got some quotes regarding Window Tints. There seems to be a Tesla tax in play or prices have gone way up since I last tinted window 2 years ago :D Also got my 240 outlet installed today as well. Neighbor did it for $225 parts and labor (he's an electrician). Pardon the messy driveway lol.

Some pics

So far its been very fun to drive each time, and I admit to getting a little excited for a stoplight war or two. I'm sure the novelty will wear out though and I'll just focus solely on what I can do at the track.

Got my Tesla today. Don't have any pics yet because by the time I was done with everything it was dark. I'll have some for tomorrow. Everything went extremely smooth. Carvana was perhaps the easiest, hassle free experience in getting a car start to finish. Every document was e-signed. I checked...

After lurking for a bit I finally bought a Tesla Model 3P via Carvana. Put a decent down payment down and will have my delivery this Tuesday. I did test drive a slightly used 2022 Model 3 Performance a month ago and found the acceleration from a stop / low roll to be far more intense than I...

They aren't rare used stealths are available everywhere if someone really wants one. There's about 4-5 locally here in Orlando alone via autotrader. Also, charging more for a stealth is like paying extra to having toppings removed from a pizza.

What did they say?

So to confirm, when leasing you get the 7500 tax credit up front? That would significantly reduce the lease payment if so and would make a 2 year lease viable.

Model S LR owners are especially suffering. They're trying to sell their 100k cars used as if it will hold its value. It's a shame Tesla priced the model S out of the mainstream market, now there are alternatives for those who want a bigger sized electric sedan but not forced into something...

The sad thing about this statement is that yes, I am still very interested in a M3P. The difference is I am willing to look at all the Pros and Cons of every platform and don't allow fanboy bias to cloud my judgement. My options for a new car is still wide open and whether or not it's a M3P or...

I asked for a 2021 M3P example, not a 2018. There is yet another thread on how the 2021 M3P is slower than the old. I would not be purchasing a used M3P, not in this current market. And which folks in that thread are running 11.5 stock in a 2021 M3P? Can you direct link those posts? Owners are...

It's funny that you mention this, because there is another large thread on whether or not light weight wheels makes a difference for 2021 M3P cars.

You seem to be very angry and defensive, why? Can you link to me one video of a stock 2021 M3P running 11.5? There is a large thread regarding if a M3P is actually any faster than a M3 AB other than 0-60. Dropping weight to me is not as good as simply adding mods. I don't want to remove...

Without the weight reduction it's a mid 10 second car on E85. And all tunes suggest intake/downpipe for best output. You don't need injectors unless you plan on running very high boost. There's plenty of other examples of what an E85 tune on a 2018-2022 RS3 will do, its a tried and true platform...

The lower times are hero times, and 11.8 is the more consistant time across the vast majority of owners. I would have no interest in dropping considerable weight or spending thousands to change wheels/suspension, etc.. to run the lower times. A stock 2021 M3P will average the higher times, not...

Not a problem in Florida. With a M3P it gets slower the less juice you have. With an RS3 you can have a tiny drop of gas left and it will still perform the same. Even faster, since less gas = less weight.

I've never seen a 2021 M3P do a 11.3 quarter mile, not even 11.5 seems possible. The M3P falls flat on its face after 60mph. The RS3 would roar right past it. With an E85 tune (nothing else) the RS3 does 2.xx 0-60, low 10's and traps 125+ That's Model S performance right there with just...
