performance upgrade $$$$$ 1 sec

[Rick71]

Someone told me that performance model 3 is coming with 1 sec improvement but also for $$$$
will see if is true )

 

[LACALawyer]

Good ol' Someone. That guys knows everything.

 

[dimachaerus]

This sounds like the same rumor from several months ago about the ludicrous option. Of course it's possible, but it has been radio silence for a while now.

 

[mreynolds767]

Sounds unrealistic in terms of performance with current battery in the cars and would cannibalize sales of the S
Maybe half second or quarter of a second ; which performance owners would still pay extra for.

 

[Rick71]

will see ) but remember this tread ...

covid delay everything .....

tesla want to wait about 2 year to do that exactly because they dont want to cannibalize sales!!!

Assuming this holds any water then it would make sense that they would wait for Plaid Model S to be released to still keep the S faster - which is what it seems Tesla wants to do in order to preserve margins.

A 1 second improvement would put their quoted number at 2.2 - that seems like a lot on the current batteries and much more likely if it were on their more advanced and upcoming battery. And are we talking on newer hardware or a retro upgrade for existing cars? OTA software update only? Performance model only or others?

How reliable would you say your source of this information is?

 

[Uncle Paul]

Maybe just wishful thinking.

performance model 3 only ! and 1 sec is from the regular 3.4sec 0-62kph and same for 0-60 mph 3.2
my source work for tesla ! but will see if my source is good

Would much rather spend the $$ on coilovers. Something you'd feel every second you drove the car, not just the .005% of the time you use WOT.

Speaking of which, what is the EV term for WOT? Full Transducer? Max Amps?

 

[tlr1000]

Was it "someone" or "someone who knows someone"?

 

[Rick71]

Heyyy Guys why are you so pessimistic?
You make the same statement when we talk about the 990-980 lollll it’s impossible to have more power if you have 990 engine bla bla bla and guess what ? Half a second appear for 2000$ !!!! So let see what happens in the next few month After the battery days

0-60 in 1 second. That would be really cool. But unlikely, unless "someone" was referring to the next-gen roadster. The roadster may be able to do 0-60 in 1.xx seconds. And it will cost $$$$.

Not in 1 sec lol
0-62 kph 2.4 Around 1 sec faster
Same as regular model S 100p but with 875 pound lighter model 3 performance!!

 

[jjrandorin]

Good ol' Someone. That guys knows everything.

You know... "They"..... as in "They said"... "They" always know....

 

[Dolemite]

Wouldn’t that require output to start getting into the high 700-hp range? I’ll believe it when I see it. The car’s already stupid fast, anyway.

 

[john5520]

If it's priced accordingly, maybe. Would you buy one if it started around 70k?

 

[beastmode13]

Not in 1 sec lol

62kph is 38.5mph. All P3 can do that around 2.4sec or under already.

 

[Rick71]

sorry my mistake 0-60 mph is 3.2 sec for you guy in USA but here in Canada is 0-100 kph is 3.4 sec because is (62.5 mph)

Dont trust Someone, he has been known to be wrong in the past. His credibility score is like negative 1000%,

Someone also told me they are going to offer Stealth performance upgrades to the whole Model 3 fleet for $1000 to raise some cash while the factory is closed.
