2023 M3 RWD Performance Specs

[xmonger]

FYI, Ingenext Boost LFP is now available for the Model 3 RWD with LFP battery and 980 motor. Improves 0-60 from 5.8 to 5.1. Still a lot slower than Model 3 LR, but pretty close to Model Y AWD and LR, and slightly faster than the old SR+ with NCA battery. I ordered one.

Thanks. I unfortunately don't have a 980 in my M3.

Which motor do you have? The module supports the 4D1 motor too.

Love the car. However, I already curbed one of the rims and I am super bummed out about it. I haven't curbed a rim in years and I did it to my brand new M3. I am going to have to get it repaired fully at some point. For the time being has anyone found a matching grey color (for the 18" wheels)?

The list of folks that have not curbed factory wheels is very low I believe. Lucky for you the tires only last about 20k miles on a Tesla so you can move up a size to protect against it in the future.

That first video has no meaning, he did the whole thing in Chill mode.

Yes, you are right. I forgot to delete it.

I think he commented under the video that the car was new and he wasn't particularly well informed... There is no indication of him using Chill mode in the video or in the description, just that tiny icon on the screen for them who know where to look. It's a fair oversight!

Thanks for the comments everyone. It's frustrating because I am contemplating the lease/purchase and would like to have the info as part of my decision making process. I've test driven the vehicle on local roads and up to 65-70mph and it feels really strong. I just don't want to get it and find out it is a dog on the highway and higher speeds because Telsa nerfed this particular version. The power is there, is the software uncorking it or nerfing it?

These guys (whoever they are) say 15.2 on the RWD.

How Fast Is the Tesla Model 3 Quarter Mile Time? | GetJerry.com

The 2022 Tesla Model 3 can crack the quarter-mile mark in 11.5 seconds, but it’s not the fastest car on the road—in fact, it isn’t even the fastest Tesla.

This is a very late response to your question. I just picked up a 2023 RWD SR+ with the phosphate batteries. Compared to my 2020 SR+, it is noticeably slower off the line. The low-end torque is just not there anymore like it was in my 2020 model 3. It’s a shame, cause that’s why I never tired of driving the 2020 model 3, its acceleration was always exciting to me. I guess Tesla decided to cut MFG costs with a trade-off in performance. There’s no way the 2023 model 3 rwd, will ever see 15.2 for the 0-60, unless you’re running it driverless? LOL
It would be totally cool if the Tesla engineers could somehow tweak the performance via a SW upgrade.
