RWD 0-60 advertised time changed?

[Keith909man]

Okay, is it just me but did Tesla just improve the 0-60 time listed on their RWD? I could of sown it was 5.5sec because I used to think to myself that the AWD was a full second quicker at 4.5. Now, I noticed it now list 5.1 0-60... am I going crazy here?

The standard-range battery version was advertised as 5.6s 0-60. That's probably what you were thinking of.

 

[SageBrush]

5.5 sounds about right for the SR

 

[SpiceWare]

You might be mixing up SR and LR. From last year

The base Tesla Model 3 was confirmed to have a price of $35,000 – which nets 220 miles of range (EPA estimate), a 0-60 time of 5.6 seconds and a top speed of 130 MPH – with deliveries to start in the Fall/November 2017.

Adding the “Long Range” battery option moves first deliveries up to this month (so we assume all the cars given out tonight have this option), adds $9,000 to the price, but bumps range up to 310 miles, lowers the 0-60 MPH time to 5.1 seconds, and bumps the top speed to 140 MPH – a pretty good deal from $44,000 we would say!

0-100km/h shows at 5.4 seconds. Then again, 60mp/h is different from 100 km/h

there have been some media articles and videos that presented the SR 0-60 time when discussion the LR. perhaps some of those incorrect reports confused you.

 

[insaneoctane]

LR has always been marketed as 5.1 seconds

 

[jkirkwood001]

Nope. You're going crazy.


(RWD was always 5.1 for 0-60)

Wish it was 4.5

Get an AWD.

Wasn’t available when I got mine. =\

Vehicle Virgins VBOXd 4.4 going slightly uphill. 18" aero wheels. He's gonna do mine with 19s, and it'll be lowered, with wheels and PS4S. Should go down slightly but supposedly new update improves power a little. Ill text him and ask to borrow VBOX

Downhill.

And producing a number nobody has ever come close to replicating.

I went to the site with him and its slightly uphill.

The Tesla Model 3 Does 0-60 MPH In 4.4 – 4.6 Seconds, Way Faster Than Tesla’s Claims

Testing the car on what seems to be a mountain pass, the Model 3 was able to consistently hit 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds, a full 0.70 seconds faster than Tesla’s claimed performance for the car. It should be noted, however, that Parker’s run was conducted on what appeared to be a downhill slope

But the more relevant bit seems to be his # is significantly quicker than anyone else has been able to get out of the same car.

4.6-4.8, with rollout (so really 4.9-5.1) is what every other professional review (from the drag times guy to actual car mags) appear to get.

Agreed. Gonna try when my car has 20's, lowered, and PS4S, take out the frunk tub and then see what 0-60 is

unless your 20's weigh low 20lbs, you'll probably actually have a slower 0-60 time.

Also the rubber can offset that time. Anyone have suggestions for 20’s for a good price?
