discrepancy in 0-60 times M3

It depends on whether the car has the optional Acceleration boost, which is a software unlock that can be bought at any time.
My car is a 2022 Model 3 LR without the Acceleration boost, the 0-60 is 4.2s
If I go into the app and pay £1500 then that can come down to 3.7s
any other variation is down to showing 1-100kph (which would be 4.4s without boost and 3.9s with boost)

Thats only on the performance models, it makes them look even faster on paper than the LR models
does it really matter, 9 times out of 10 it will be quicker than the s4.

If I lived in Aberdare ( having worked in that area) I would be more concerned about whether the brakes are up to the job of avoiding the suicidal sheep that like to throw themselves into the road in front of you on the best driving roads.
yes brake are pretty poor due to its weight, but its not a performance car, its just a EV that goes fast.
My RS6 was a not a performance car, it was an estate car that went fast, and again the brakes werent great at stopping a 2 tonne barge after a few heated stamps.
Cars are built to forfill certain parameters and spec'd accordingly.
95% of the time everything on a car will work as intended if you stick within the parameters that the car was designed for.

Just you wait until you have something new and shiny ... we all know that there is a 3 week period after getting a new car when one of these things, that have not been an issue before, happens: 1) A huge stone is kicked up by another vehicle and takes a lump out of your paintwork or puts an indelible dint into the windscreen 2) You grind your new wheels along a kerb 3) An animal leaps out in front of you with disastrous consequencescheers everyone - so far sheep have not been an issue in my s4
Not that I'm pessimistic ...

Sheep are patient. They play the long game. They lulled me into a false sense of security over the course of 12 years then BANG that's when then get ewe. Don't underestimate them!cheers everyone - so far sheep have not been an issue in my s4
And seamless too - linear from the off right up until speeds that no-one sensible would aim to achieve on a public road.
There will be parts of the A470 where I guarantee the 0-60 time will be quicker than the quoted figure. And times where the road by Llwydcoed will make you not want to go quicker than 20.....
That's your story to the missus and you're sticking to it...cheers everyone - so far sheep have not been an issue in my s4

Diferent kettle of fish. Even a slower ev such as an I3 or the slowest m3 will feel quicker because they are consistent and always in the power band. You would have to be in launch control at every light and that is a song and dance/ritual to get going. If you had tried one, you wouldn't be asking this
I'm a Merthyr boy, never had any reason to go up the 4059 past Baverstocks to consort with Aberdoodahs. Furthest we ever went was the Crem....maybe the TipA4059 over the top( except for the damned sheep)
Can you imagine how much you would have had to pay even 10 years ago for performance like that, and all the other compromises? For all his ills and justified criticism, Musk has changed motoring for ever.
