Only faster than the S from 0-60, but the S is still faster quarter mile.

2024 Model 3 Performance Announced - Discussion thread post announcement
- Thread starter j0shm1lls
- Start date
LR is much much faster after 60 mph. I saw a timeslip in the 10.6s on the S forum. Damn fast.
There are plenty of 2021+ Model S LR cars with 3.2 and even one with a 3.1 true 0-60 mph time on Dragy.
Camissa said he had a passenger but he did not say if the times he gave were with rollout subtracted or not. That is still unknown. However, he cited a 3.2/3.3 0-60 mph time for the current Model 3 Performance which is the time without subtracting rollout. It is entirely feasible that he was giving times without rollout subtracted but he has not confirmed that yet.

I mean a used m5cs is also more expensive than a plaid brand new so if a LR is anywhere near a 10.6 then the value for money is insane
Go peruse the Model S subforums and their drag times. Its there for everyone to see. Model S LR is not a slow car and I doubt the new Model 3 Performance is as fast after 60mph. Helps to have a much better battery in the LR.
Not accurate.
Easy to find examples:
No one outside of Tesla matter though. If Tesla never named it Ludicrous, its simply not Ludicrous.
Very true. No one has tested quarter mile times for the new M3P yet. The latest MS LR typically traps at about 10.8 seconds or so. It does have the benefit of a 100 KwH battery pack and can discharge more current than the 82 KwH Panasonic pack can. So maybe a low 11 second 1/4 mile time is my guess.

M5 CS is garbage and yesterday's technology. Being surprised a Model S is faster than a M5 is equivalent to being surprised a BMW M3 is faster than a horse and carriage. Different worlds.
Test drive in Australia.
Acceleration is BRUTAL – I nearly made myself sick. Definitely notably faster than the previous one off the line and definitely at the limits of traction on the slightly damp road this morning.

Damn this just makes me more excited for the Panasonic version
Just so you're aware, the long range model S traps 130mph in the 1/4. It would pull bus lengths on the "old" M3P from a 60mph roll race.... I HIGHLY doubt the new model 3 will have its top end improved THAT much. People focus on the plaid but forget how fast the standard long range S is - primarily because people focus on 0-60 and forget about the trap speed of a 1/4 mile.
You test drove the new M3P?!?! Good lord, tell us more! How were the seats, ride compliance, etc. How was the acceleration from 40mph+.
Couldn't do much in fear of getting pulled over, but did an acceleration from around 50km/h to 110km/h. Didn't detect any drop off in acceleration up to that speed, the problem was it covers that gap in nothing, it felt instant probably due to the fact my insides moved from my front to back – it is mind blowingly fast. (I had a 2019 performance 3 and it was definitely noticeable faster both on 0-100 and the 50-110).
Suspension felt fine – definitely not as harsh as old model 3 performance. Didn't really have the opportunity to try out the different modes on the public roads but I reckon it would be awesome on a track day. The seats are brilliant, the bolster is crazy good, you don't have that lateral movement you had with the old M3P, the seats are a huge improvement.
Thanks for the information. Was this in "Insane" Mode or Track Mode? Did you do anything special like heating the battery before you drove it?
