Ludicrous Plaid, the name of the fastest Tesla Model 3 remained a better secret than the car itself. It has the name Performance and its price immediately makes the brand known.
The first images of the faster Model 3 leaked on April 4. Because the car has the Plaid logo, Model 3 Plaid was a logical name. The name Ludicrous also floated around.
Tesla Model 3 performance
It has become a real Performance Tesla Model 3, and it is faster than before. The model has two electric motors, one at the front and one at the rear axle, and thus a four-wheel drive. Power sources provide a peak power of 460 hp. This allows the electric car to run from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 3.1 seconds. The maximum speed is 262 kilometers per hour.
The electric motors are connected to a Long Life battery pack. This means that you can travel 528 kilometers on a single battery charge. Charging is possible at a maximum of 250 kW on the fast charger.
The electric Macan still feels (sometimes) like a real Porsche
The performance of the Tesla Model 3 is slightly lighter than the Long-Term AWD. This is due to the lightweight 20-inch wheels. In addition, the Performance has a carbon fiber spoiler, more powerful brakes, sports seats and carbon fiber details in the interior. Tesla has also addressed the chassis. For example, the fastest Model 3 has different springs, dampers, bushings and stabilizer bars. In addition, the model has a special Tracking Mode, which we tested earlier with its predecessor. In the video below we take you around the Nürburgring Nordschleife in a vintage Model 3 with the Track Package.
How much does the Tesla Model 3 performance cost? In the Netherlands it is available from 56,990 euros. That’s 7,000 euros more expensive than the Long Range AWD and 15,000 euros more expensive than the RWD. Want to stay informed about test driving and Performance? Then subscribe to Autovisie Magazine.
