Model 3 Performance Overview and Specifications

I had the opportunity to test drive Tesla's Model 3 Performance.

This car is the top-of-the-line grade of the Model 3 series and its performance is astounding. Let's start with the specs.

The Model 3 Performance has a maximum output of 460 hp,0-100km/h acceleration in only 3.1 secondsThe following is a list of the most common problems with the "C" in the "C" column.
These figures exceed those of the Porsche 911 GT3 and are comparable to 911 Turbo territory. The top speed is 261 km/h, due to the fact that it is an electric car, but it is still fast enough.

The car features a new adaptive damping system. This is an electronically controlled damper, similar to Porsche's PASM, that adjusts damping force according to road conditions to maintain stability even during high-speed cornering.

In addition, "theinsert modeA mode for maximum power extraction called "0-100km/h" has been added. This enables the car to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in an astonishing 3.1 seconds. It also features a track mode setting, which is not available in the long range and other modes, and allows fine-tuning of handling balance, stability control, and regenerative braking strength.

Exterior and Interior Features

Externally, the front and rear diffusers and front bumper have beenUnlike the regular Model 3, it looks sharpergives the car a more luxurious appearance. At the rear, a carbon fiber spoiler has been added to give the car an upscale look.

The standard 20-inch "warp wheels" are designed for aerodynamic performance and have plastic covers between the spokes. The brakes have also been enlarged, and ride height and suspension-related parts have been upgraded.

Performance on the left, long range on the right

The sport seats are very comfortable. Not too sporty, but comfortable enough.

Inside, the sport seats with ventilation and heated seats are eye-catching. The dashboard features a carbon fiber-patterned décor that replaces the whitish decoration of the long-range model.

The vehicle weighs 1,850 kg, not much different from the other three model grades. However, the cruising range is slightly shorter than the long range, at 610 km according to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. In actual driving, the range is expected to be 450 km to less than 500 km.

Proof of Performance Model

Ride comfort and operability

The first thing you notice when you get into the Model 3 Performance is how comfortable the sport seats are.
It seems hard from the outside, but it is actually moderately soft and fleshy.The seat is comfortable and does not tire easily even when driving long distances. The side support is firm and the hold is excellent.

Driving in Comfort mode, the power difference from the long range model is imperceptible.The Performance is a little heavier than the Performance. If anything, the Performance feels slightly heavier due to the 20-inch wheels, but after a few dozen minutes of riding, the difference is hardly noticeable.
In addition, theAcceleration in standard mode is also the same as in long rangeThe power is the same at a level that one would not notice unless told. Perhaps the sense of power is the same at a level that you would not notice if you were not told.

I felt that I rode so far,In terms of power feel alone, Performance is a model that adds an insane mode to the long rangeand I think it is safe to assume that the power of Comfort and Standard is the same.

In terms of ride comfort, it is not particularly stiff, even though it is a performance model. Thanks to the adaptive suspension, the 20-inch wheels seem to be well adapted to the vehicle.

As a Porsche driver, I would rather have it a little stiffer.It is so much so that I feel that I am not the only one.

Handling and acceleration performance

In terms of handling, there is less understeer compared to the long-range model, and the vehicle is quicker and has a higher sense of ground contact. The sense of security when cornering is also a step higher. However, since the suspension is not very stiff, a certain amount of roll is tolerated. Even so, the angle of roll is maintained at a constant level, so there is no sense of uneasiness even when driving in a sporty manner.

And then there is "Insane Mode," the quintessential feature of this car. When switched to this mode, acceleration performance literally reaches the realm of insanity. The long-range modelFast enough in standard mode, but two steps faster than that.It is. The G-forces during acceleration make you feel as if your throat and chest are being held down.

This acceleration performance,A level that any 911 can't compete with.The difference is overwhelming, especially in acceleration from corner exits. Especially in acceleration from corner exits, the difference was overwhelming.

However, according to the owner,Insane mode is used frequently immediately after purchase, but not on a daily basisThis was the case.

Model 3 Performance Positioning

Model 3 Performance is certainly high performance, but like BMW's M3/M4 or Mercedes-AMG's C-Class,The ride is not dramatically different from the base model.In Porsche terms, the difference is very small compared to the difference between a regular 911 and a GT3 or so.

このパーフォーマンスというモデルは、特別モデルという位置づけではなく、あくまでもロングレンジモデルやRWDモデルの延長線上にある性能だと考えるべきだろう。

そのため、日常的に強烈な加速力や高速走行を楽しむわけでもなく、サーキット走行の予定もないのであれば、ロングレンジモデルで十分かもしれない。私のオススメは19インチホイールを装着したロングレンジモデルあたりが、スポーティさと快適性のバランスが取れている印象だ。

しかし、モデル3パフォーマンスの魅力は見た目の良さにもある。

スポーツシートの快適さや、必要な時に発揮できる圧倒的な加速性能は、確かに価値がある。私自身がポルシェを所有していなければ、モデル3を1台だけ購入するならパフォーマンスモデルを選ぶだろう。

結論として、すでにスポーツカーを所有している人にとっては、ロングレンジモデルやRWDモデルで十分だ。一方、1台でスポーツカーと日常使用を兼ねたいと考える人には、モデル3パフォーマンスをおすすめDo.

テスラ モデル3パフォーマンスは、電気自動車でありながら本格的なスポーツカーの一面を持つクルマだ。
その性能と実用性のバランスは、多くのドライバーを魅了するだろう。
ただし、自身の運転スタイルや用途をよく考慮した上で、最適なモデルを選択することが重要だと思う。
