From RSymons RSEV.
The 2024 Tesla Model 3 Performance is HERE.. BUT compared to the US spec 510hp version the UK (and Europe, Australia, New Zealand and others from Shanghai factory???) get 460HP… and YET Tesla still claim 0-60mph takes only 2.9 seconds. How can that be so? Is it really true?
It’s all down to the battery.. The USA gets 82kwh Panasonic pack but we seem to get the 79kwh LG pack and that simply cannot output enough to make 510hp!
I really needed to find out so grabbed a Dragy timing equipment and a quiet local road to test it. Crucially taking the cars with the same state of battery charge because this does have quite a big impact on performance. I have to say this new performance does feel like it drops off below 70% but more testing to follow on that! For now, I want to see if it really is faster!
Tesla do include 1ft roll out but i’ll show times with 1ft roll out excluded. I also have a little drag race 0-40mph down the side of our warehouse so you can see head to head..!

2024 79kWh Performance
plus I also have my times from when I had an 82kWh Performance – not on the same day but tested under very similar conditions previously.
Thanks for watching.
