from stopl ight to stop light P tesla beats 99.9% of the cars on the road
however as has been brought up in numerous threads
there are many cars faster running the streets from speeds above 50.....
not a big deal for most
50? Many? I think that's overstating it, given they have transmissions that will need to waste time downshifting.... passing times up to at least 70 are
crazy fast on Teslas.
For some perspective, here's the times from a run on an AWD (non P) Model 3
30-50 1.5 seconds
50-70 2.06 seconds
30-70 3.56 seconds
How does that compare to cars that definitely are less common than "many"?
2015 Nissan GT-R Test – Review – Car and Driver
That's the 2015 GT-R (545 hp, 463 torque)...0-60 is 3 flat. Quicker than even the Model 3 Performance.
30-50? 3.8 seconds. Slower than the AWD Model 3 goes 30-70.
50-70 in the GTR? 3.1 seconds...~50% slower than the Model 3 AWD.
Well damn... ok... how bout even quicker cars?
2020 Audi R8 Reviews | Audi R8 Price, Photos, and Specs | Car and Driver
Review of an Audi R8 with a number of other quick cars listed with 0-60 and 50-70 times. Remember the AWD Model 3 is 2.06 50-70.
Porsche 911 Turbo S. 0-60 in 2.7. The 50-70? 2.5.
McLaren 570S. 0-60 in 2.7. 50-70 in...2.7
(the R8 V10 FWIW is 3.2 0-60, and 2.4 50-70)
Ok. What else we got?

That's a $143,810 ZR-1 corvette vs a $348,730 Porsche 911 GT2 RS.
Vette 30-50? 1.9 seconds. 50-70? 2.3 Both slower than the AWD Model 3.
GT2 30-50? 2 flat. Still half a second slower than the M3 AWD.
Finally at 50-70 the Tesla, at 2.06, loses... to the 350k porsche which does it in...2.0
And the Model 3 P?
30-50 on a Model 3 P is 1.2, and 50-70 is 1.7
And BTW- all the Model 3 numbers are from mid-late last year- before the power bump they just pushed out... and since most of the power is allegedly around 45mph and higher, I expect things look even worse for "most" cars at passing speeds like 50-70.
