How fast is the Model 3 0 to 100?
The Tesla Model 3 has different acceleration times depending on the configuration. In the base Rear Wheel Drive form, it can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.1 seconds. On the other hand, the all-wheel drive Long Range version is faster, taking only 4.4 seconds to reach the same speed.
Tesla cars, including the Model 3, operate using electric motors instead of internal combustion engines. These vehicles are powered by rechargeable batteries, which are charged with electricity rather than being fueled with petrol. This allows Tesla cars to run on fully renewable energy in some cases.
Tesla, founded by Elon Musk, is a company that not only produces cars but also invests in renewable technology and electrical components. They have a range of products, including home storage batteries for storing rooftop solar power.
The Tesla Model 3 Performance variant is known for its impressive acceleration. It is equipped with dual e-motors and a 75kWh battery, providing all-wheel drive and generating 444 horsepower and 471 lb-ft of torque. Tesla claims the Model 3 Performance can go from 0 to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds.
In an independent performance test conducted by Wheels Car of the Year 2020, the Model 3 Performance achieved a 0-100 km/h sprint time of 3.5 seconds with Track mode engaged. This is slightly slower than Tesla's claimed time of 3.4 seconds. The car's 75kWh battery and dual-motor setup contribute to its impressive power output of around 353kW.
