I don't think the 60-90 speed is phenomenal. It's certainly quick, but quick is relative. The key is that it happens instantly, so it certainly feels faster than my neighbor's 2018 BMW M5 because it happens so much more quickly. The M5 takes what feels like an eternity to downshift and accelerate compared to my Model 3 Performance.
I suppose that also begs the question: Which Model 3 version are you asking about?
Not sure about the 2018 M5, but I can attest that the 2019/2020 M5 Competition will pass by me after about 80 or 90 from directly behind me and side by side at 50 mph it pulls away if already down shifted. This was shown when I went up against one while at 40% SoC.
I know the Model 3 has incredible off the line acceleration.
I wonder how the passing performance is? I currently own a 2018 BMW 340i. The power at passing speeds 60-90 is impressive.
How would the Model 3 perform? Compare?
TIA
It’s impressive! It’s like a dart.I know the Model 3 has incredible off the line acceleration.

I read in the Model S forum someone was not real impressed with passing performance.
High speed (high motor RPM) power falls off dramatically with SOC, and by 40% SOC, it feels pretty anemic compared to when it is 85+% SOC. Real world passing is mostly from 25-80 MPH - beyond that you are doing something pretty seriously illegal, and nothing outside of exotics catches the DMP version of the Model 3 in that 25-80 MPH speed range - esp. when you factor in the time needed to downshift. Even a late gen Ferrari struggles to close on the DMP unless already down shifted. Pull from 90+ MPH isn't as impressive as the combination of declining HP and increasing drag takes its toll, but again, passing power at 90+MPH is not useful in the real world, unless you're either at the drags, track racing, or doing something seriously illegal.
