I put it in standard mode and got beat by an Audi turbo-would speed change anything ? Cost and is it worth it ?

Model 3 RWD got beat by an Audi turbo

What kind of Audi turbo? They have a few models ...
The Model 3 RWD is the least powerful vehicle that Tesla makes. It is not a performance vehicle. Check the numbers online but I doubt the speed boost is going to be enough to beat whatever car you were embarrassed by.

While it isn't a performance vehicle, it will still beat the majority of cars sold off the line.
My 2018 M3 LR RWD is probably the slowest car Tesla has ever made. Heavy battery and an early production single motor . Still faster than I will ever need in traffic.

Model Y RWD is the slowest. The current Model 3 RWD is actually slower than the previous SR+ due to heavier LFP batteries.

There is no speed boost available for RWD. It is what it is.
If you wanted a fast car you should have gotten the LR or performance. The Tesla website clearly states the 0-60 time of 5.8 seconds which is still faster than most other cars on the road but not “fast” by todays standards.
Depending what Audi model it was, they can be very fast. Especially if it was tuned and they are very easy to tune and add a bunch of power to.

Great times we live in when a base model EV going 0-60 in 5.8sec is considered slow! A base A4 does what, 6.2sec?I’d be curious to know what the 5-60 time is. My RWD seems to have more punch when it’s rolling than from a stop. From a stop, it does feel kinda slow.
My guess the OP is complaining about the acceleration. Tesla clearly published acceleration time from 0 to 60MPH for each model.
If the Tesla M3 RWD, which I also own, if is beaten by another brand/model, it's simply because that other car has faster acceleration.
It has been said above that the Tesla M3 RWD still accelerates faster than majority of other cars..

I've owned cars that took more than 15 seconds. The late 1970s and early 1980s were some dark times for ordinary production cars.

Buys slowest Model 3. Complains that it’s slow.Should have gotten the performance model
lol I just saying Audi took me on green light, he still gotta pay for gas, and doesn’t have fireplace mode or lock chimes
I have a 2019 M3 SR+ RWD and a 2020 MY LR AWD. My MY is clearly faster and profoundly more entertaining to drive. I need to drive my bro-in-law's M3 LR AWD some time to see what that is like, and maybe a performance model.
I occasionally go full throttle in my MY to make a fool of a red neck in a truck. I would never attempt that in my M3.
