Where are you getting this information from?
The math for a multi speed transmission vehicle and a single speed EV are totally different. I wish more people understood this.
It could be that the Panasonic variant is 600hp and the LG variant is 460hp. This is more inline with the test results. I would see why Tesla would lie to hide this difference, in order to allow sales internationally.
This is more likely. Won’t affect 0-100 as much as that’s torque based. But 100-200 and 1/4 mile for sure.
I don't think we've seen any good 1/4 mile runs for a new M3P with the LG battery yet. Someone is going to have to go to the effort of having a high state of charge, over 90%, and then getting the battery warmed up, before doing the 1/4 mile run. It would be really interesting to see a Pano vs LG race, but that's going to be kind of tough to set up at first.
The number itself is meaningless, but the sensation of speed is much less when your 1/4 mile drops by that much. And the sensation of speed is like 80% of the reason to buy these cars.
Correct. I have a 22’ LRboost now with the Pano 82kw battery, 568km/350 mile range. The acceleration on it is marginally slower than the PM3 upto 50mph but after this it’s almost neck and neck all the way up.
For whatever reason, Panasonic just hasn't ramped up their battery production in Reno enough to keep up with the Model 3 and Model Y demand. They don't even have enough to put into the Model 3 LR, so it isn't eligible for the US tax credit. Whether the fault lies with Panasonic just not being able to produce enough or Tesla not making accurate projections, I don't know. It wouldn't surprise me if Tesla was expecting most Model Y production to be using 4680s by now, but that obviously didn't happen. Since it typically takes more than a year to order, get delivered, installed, and production ramped up on batteries, they probably would have had to give Panasonic nearly 2 years notice.
Is that what bothers you most about Canada?
If I buy, it will be a US import
of today. If .4 seconds is insignificant to you then the older Model 3 LR with Boost is probably a good option for basically half the price.
There is quite a bit of misinformation about how the LR Boost and Ghost specs fair against a '21-'23 MP3 (82kwh). I'm sure there will be plenty of claims that the '24 is barely faster than the '23 based off of a youtube video that'll show it. There are a zillion reasons NOT to get a new car. A zillion.
Last year I sold my 2018 LR and bought a 2023 M3P when the prices were cut. The main reasons I wanted the M3P were for the Track Mode, the better low end acceleration, and the better brakes in that order. Past 70 MPH, there is zero difference in acceleration between the two cars, but it's pretty substantial below that. There were also enough improvements to the car between 2018 and 2023 along with getting a new warranty to make it attractive to me. With the Fed and state tax credits, the net cost differential for me ended up being $10k plus the full car PPF cost which was $5,500.
