OK. Just speculation on my part. Even if the 3 could be quicker than the S, I submit to you that Tesla will software limit so that it's slower. That way they won't cannibalize sales of the higher end product to the lower end product, lower profits, etc.
That really doesn't make sense. The TM3 won't be built using the motors/controllers out of the TMS.
Those will purpose built for TM3, with the goal of making them as cheap as they can possibly get away with. Which will based on just meeting the performance target. Not exceeding it (making them more expensive) and then scaling them back with software.
This is all about upping the scale of mass production, and slashing retail price, so dollars will have to be cut everywhere imaginable to make TM3 profitable for Tesla.
