2019 v 2021 v 2024 Tesla Model 3 Performance Draggy times. Is UK Spec 460hp really 2.9 sec 0-60? 

For reference my ‘22 82kWh does 0-60 in 3.26s and 3.09s (1ft). Totally stock and dragy verified.

Must feels crazy. ‘23 RWD feels fast to me at 5.8 sec

You must have been going over the speed limit before hitting that national speed limit sign 🤣

Can’t wait to get mine. Got to wait until December. Thanks for the videos.

I have a 2019 Tesla Model 3 Performance. It's awesome, but be careful. I've stopped sprinting away from ICE cars because it seriously pisses them off when they lose. I've experienced a couple of bad examples of road rage following a traffic light sprint, the last one with a BMW got dangerous.

Neighbours be like”What’s that noise” ?oh yeah RSEV playing again lol,cheers chaps,highland for the win 👍😉💪

Well done sir!

Thanks for the video RSVE ℹ️📈✅

I've got a '23 M3P.. if you weren't a million trillion hrs away from me I'd bring it over for you. Loving the seats In the new one... if only a retro fit (with working air con was a thing)

In the US the cars normally beat the advertised times

Carwow drag race!

I have the 2021. I kinda want the new one, but it is not worth putting down like £20k to get it. Will keep mine for a while :)

I dig the lightning bolt emblem 👌 - did you make it?

lol, great video, much appreciated!

I can't wait for the runway. And please bring a similar ice car like m3, rs7.

Nice video as usual! P.S. You need to do a new auto parking comparison as soon as you get the 2024.20.6 or later!

You will not see the difference to 60. The difference comes into play when doing the quarter mile as the additional hp takes over. Torque launches you, HP carries you. 0-60 would be about the same; dependent on driver reaction times. 1/4mile the additional hp would create a .3-.5 second gap or 5mph. The issue with the previous gen Tesla MP3 is they are one of the quickest cars on earth to 100mph, but loses steam afterwards where the corvettes, porsches, catches up. This newer model will make the MP3 hang in there with the supercars.

i drove this the other day, its certainly much nicer and faster but after about 30mins it felt similar to the older models. from the noise and suspension its only Veerry slightly better. The seats are more sporty but the sides are hard so they dig into ur legs and stomach. I thought the indicators would be an issue but its quite easy to use. The gear shifters on the screen are fine mainly because the screen is fast and snappy responsive like an iphone so its crucial for changing gears. Cameras are much better, quality and cameras respond way faster and clearer.

Fastest 0-60 yet for a 79kWh ‘24 M3P 👍

Love your logo on the front hood. Anywhere I can get that?

Would be cool to see a CarWow drag race between these two cars up into triple digits! Just please make sure they show the SOC stats 👍🏾

Great comparison! (2020 M3P Owner here) Would be very interested to see if the new staggered wheel setup from the 2024 M3P fits the older cars - specifically the Rears... Thanks Rich!

Sorry if my question might be a bit late, but is Carwow going to use this car for drag races soon Richard?

Great test. Please could you have a LARD test to see how the weight and number of peeps on board affect the timed runs. I drive a my71 model y long range with acceleration boost to make up for a few extra Kg.

You might have mentioned this in another video, but could be interesting to hear, what service , tires and other things you had done to your 2019 performance, thinking of the cost after that many miles.

When Tesla do the nought to sixty do they still do a "rolling" start? Just a thought.

I think, that this proves that upgrading from an old M3P to just get a very marginally, within margin of error 0-60 time is probably not worth it. I would look to the suspension, interior and refinement changes first before deciding . It’s a more compelling case to go from no M3P than if you already have one, esp an 82kwh one..

From what I understand Track Mode is not what you want for drag racing. A hot battery will give you more power in short bursts but Track Mode is designed to cool down the battery so that it will last longer before thermal throttling occurs. I believe the trick is to navigate to a nearby supercharger so that the preconditioning will warm up the battery.

Awesome

Quick bit of help folks Getting a Tesla through work Should I get the LR Model 3 or commit to the M3P and enjoy the madness

0-60 3.08 for the LG battery is solid.

Very interesting. The 2024 car gets its 0.3 second advantage within the first little bit, most of it in the 0-30. Looking forward to the drag race to see acceration difference after 60mph.

Try the Model S Plaid, I test drove it at my local Tesla (in Midlands) and I couldn’t believe they let me do 5 full launches in Plaid mode, it’s was ridiculous!!

When did we have the 82KWH battery?

I have the MG4 x power and it’s 3.7 0/60 it’s not a nice experience the torque really rushes the blood and it makes me feel queasy. Sub 3 seconds is just mental…

Hi,Im looking to buy a Tesla model 3, I was going to buy a new 2024 Dual motor ) this is where I want your advice but now I’m thinking of a 2021 / 2022 ( dual motor) is there a great deal of difference between the two ? I live in Madeira so only short journey, would I be better with the smaller battery and rear wheel drive model 3. Looking forward to your advice. Andrew

Took delivery of a 2024 M3P last week, still own a 2020 M3P. The 2024 definitely feels a bit faster 0-60 but the main difference is 60+. It's absurd how much faster it pulls when your on an on-ramp for the motorway. I can easily hit +-100mph before having merged... However the difference in ride quality and wind noise is the main factor for me. I've always adored my 2020, the 2024 improves on it in every way. P.S. I dont miss the gear stalks, the buttons on the steering wheel are annoying on roundabouts though :)

Seems like all tires here, that little bit wider tire will make a huge difference. Kind of expected this its soo small.

Do they use the one foot roll out in the USA for 0-60mph times? Should've watched the whole video!

13:18 Verdict

Why isn't there any videos vs the 2023 performance??

I’ve heard Object Aware Acceleration can cause the cars to bog down. Was it turned off for both cars?

This looks dead useful for getting to the next set of red traffic lights ahead of a Nissan Micra. 3.1 seconds 3.5 seconds. When do you need it. An Audi sporty something tried to beat me onto a motorway the other day and I did not even use full power to pull away from it.

I’d like to see your figures for a acceleration boost LR

Aaaaagh! What is that stain/mark on the bolster of the passenger seat? You’re driving my OCD crazy mate!

There are some pointers I have: 1) Staggered wheels dont really help for dragracing in dry condtition, people in USA usually do square 235 setup for dragrace and 18-19" forged rims for less rotational mass. 2) The lighter wheels with 235 width make it slightly faster 0-60, maybe 0.1-0.2 seconds if you go to 18-19" light wheels with 235 tires square. 3) Should be said the new wheels are very light and efficcient, they are forged wheels. But rotational mass doesent help. 4) Track mode should not be used for dragracing (I know you didnt), as it cools the battery too much. Rather. you want to preheat battery with either s3xy buttons/s3xy knob or "travel to supercharger" from car screen. Its good then to have the s3xy buttons or scan my tesla to see when your battery is hot enougn for max power. If you have s3xy knob you can use scanmytesla or use the app on a phone as a digital dash, there you can create widgets too, so for instance a dedicated battery heater option. 5) Teslabjørn did some tests, he has compared and as you also saw: the new is quicker than the old. He saw that its almost as quick as a Taycan Turbo (the outgoing model), at 3.23 0-100 without rollout (that is about 3 blank 0-60 mph I believe, without rollout). As 60 mph isnst really 100km/h. The Taycan turbo did it in 3.21 in same measurements. Old Model 3 P did it in 3.4 0-100. 6) Teslabjørn also did noise tests, it seems to have less noise than Taycan 4S with glass, around same as a Plaid with active noise cancellation on. 7) To get max power out of an EV you need 40+C in the battery, so it can be a bit hard on colder days, so the preheat by travel to supercharger is a neat trick (or then the commander w/ s3xy buttons or s3xy knob). 8) I saw in Teslabjørns video that it seems his inverters were powered with 299 kW on rear motor + 116.5 kW on front motor when he did a pull with over 90% SoC, that combined is 556 Hp. 9) The old 3P was really quick up to 100km/h, but at especially above 150 it would taper off quite a bit. I think in 100+ is where there will be most difference, since people say the front motor gave up at high speed and the rear motor was limited on how much power it could use. The new rear motor can handle a lot more power, so it can keep accellerating much quicker at higher speeds.

How do I tell what battery my 21 M3P has?

We need 0-200kmh times. The old one was weak after 100kmh.

Track mode is slower by a tenth to tenth & half.

Aaaaagh! What is that stain/mark on the bolster of the passenger seat? You’re driving my OCD crazy mate! Edit - Nevermind, looks like you cleaned it up after the initial shot!😂

What track day are you doing?

Hi, you keep saying that you only have the 79 kW battery, not the 82kw battery and this is why your power is down. But I thought the batteries gave you range, and it was the moter that produced the power. Is that not correct 😊

Was keen on the new M3P and then I saw the rip off by Tesla... and I'm not surprised that no ones doing 1/4m runs (most important) based on the pathetic version, as the US spec one is doing 10.9's to the 1/4m... I suspect this one will be 11.3 to the 1/4m, so a 0.2 improvement over the outgoing M3P... The Ionic 5N will be quicker than the UK version (and a better drive) but slower than the US version to the 1/4m... and I feel mighty ripped off at being presented with a 'lesser' Tesla than our US counterparts... disgraceful from Tesla.

Should be starting at 100% battery for each test.

Seems most managed a 2.9 0-60 in the US version, without rollout, I think we’ve still been a little shortchanged, but realistically there is nothing in it… I guess.

Whats the point/purpose of 1ft rollout?

Track mode is slower

Please please please compare this car to the IONIQ 5 N - just got company car upgrade costs and the Model 3 Performance is £100/month more than the 5N. Not convinced that the Tesla is worth it.

You can see the 40-60mph is very similar with the 2024 doing it in 1,24s and the 2019 in 1,28s. Almost all the gains are before 40mph. Basically means on the top end/ highway speeds you likely wont « feel » any difference in performance. Certainly not between the 2024 and the 82kwh 2021

That birdshit ...been in every video thus far...

Makes the BMW M3 utterly irrelevant. You would have to be an idiot to want one.

There are other electric cars than tesla 🤔 every video is about tesla when there are better performing rivals

The performance doesn't have the LFP batteries and it has the highest battery degradation of any Tesla. It is a rich man's toy, but it is not built to maintain its longevity. It would be interesting to see what battery capacity your 2019 Performance Model 3 has left. At 100,000 miles, I would guess that it is around 85% of its original capacity.

I thought this was a channel about electric cars as a whole not just tesla’s..getting bored with this channel now..unless they start doing other brands,they have in the past.

Do people actually want this many videos about the same car? Spoiler for previous videos without actually watching them: it’s very similar to the older one, has most of the same flaws and a few new ones. I know we can skip the tesla fanboy crap and I looking forward to them ending. Obviously you do you but you won’t know people are bored with it unless people like me moan, so here I am.
