2024 Tesla Model 3 Performance Unveiled; Does 0 to 100 kmph In 3.04 Seconds (2024)
Tesla has unveiled the 2024 Model 3 Performance, the more powerful variant of the new Model 3 sedan unveiled last year. Aside from a few cosmetic tweaks that render it a sportier appearance, the EV gets a few mechanical upgrades that aid in better performance. The vehicle also gets a more aerodynamic design than its predecessor.
The new Model 3 Performance gets a host of upgrades under the skin, which include a modified chassis with hardware such as adaptive dampers with hollow damper piston rods, multi-sectioned stabilizer bar, ultra-high strength steel springs, and stiffer suspension top mounts. The vehicle’s adaptive suspension system can be controlled via three preset modes – Standard, Sport and Track.
The Model 3 Performance can go from 0 to 100 kmph in 3.045 seconds
The dual-motor setup on the Model 3 Performance churns out 503 bhp and 741 Nm of torque. This helps it go from 0 to 100 kmph in 3.045 seconds to achieve top speeds of up to 262 kmph. The 75 kWh battery pack on the vehicle delivers a claimed range of up to 476 km.
The vehicle gets a more aerodynamic design than its predecessor
Visually, the Model 3 Performance gets a range of styling cues that give it a sportier appearance such as a revised front bumper, DRLs, rear spoiler, and rear diffuser. Tesla says that the design changes are not only focused on aesthetics, but also make it more aerodynamic, giving it up to 5 per cent reduced drag, 36 per cent lift reduction, and 55 per cent improvement in front-to-rear lift balance over its predecessor.
The car's interior gets 12-way adjustable sports seats with better cushioning
On the inside, the vehicle gets the same interior layout but features new sports seats. Tesla says that the new seats have improved cushioning and that the car has a more engaging driving position over the standard model. The seats have a 12-way power function and get both ventilation and heating.

The Tesla Model S Plaid, which added track mode in 2021, has pushed the performance boundaries and set a new standard for high-performance electric vehicles. Its quarter-mile time of 9.3 seconds is remarkable, and its ability to reach 0-60 mph in just 2.3 seconds is extraordinary.
The single-motor rear-wheel-drive standard-range Model 3 is the slowest, accelerating from zero to 60 mph in 5.8 seconds and on to a top speed of 140 mph.
Well, the Tesla Model X Plaid is clearly the quicker vehicle of the two, and it's not really close at all. The Tesla beats the Lamborghini in all the acceleration metrics, demolishing the Lambo on the way to 60 miles per hour, as well as through the quarter mile.
Go 0-60 mph in just 2.6 seconds† in beast mode while maintaining high-speed stability. With steer-by-wire and rear steering, you get the handling of a sports car and a better turning radius than most sedans.
The quickest electric car is Rimac Nevera 1408 kW that accelerates from 0 to 100 mph in 3.21 s. The second is Tesla Model S Plaid that accelerates from 0 to 100 mph in 3.5 s and the third fastest car is Pininfarina Battista that accelerates from 0 to 100 mph in 3.7 s.
The new Tesla Roadster is like a cheetah wearing stilettos – blazing fast and sure to turn heads. Want to know how fast it is? Think "sneaker launch meets fighter jet takeoff." The regular version hits 100 mph in a mind-blowing 4.2 seconds. That's quicker than Usain Bolt on a sugar rush!
You still can find some 2023 Model 3 Performance around, but Tesla has yet to launch the top version of its electric sedan with the new design. That's apparently because there's more to the new Model 3 Performance. The previous version of the vehicle was physically almost identical to two other trims.
