It Looks Like The Tesla Model 3 Is A Lot Quicker Than Advertised
As Model 3 “production hell” continues, few of the 400,000 or so people on the waiting list have gotten hold of their cars. But the silver lining is the lucky few who actually have taken delivery now own something that is - by the looks of it - quite a bit faster than it should be.
We’re keen to see more acceleration tests, but this early one from DragTimes is certainly very promising. Despite the chilly conditions, the Model 3 used here managed 0-60mph in a VBox-recorded 4.663 seconds - significantly faster than the rather underwhelming 5.1sec figure Tesla itself quotes.
It managed to do a quarter-mile in 13.376 seconds meanwhile, ending the run at 103mph. Not bad considering this is just the base, rear-wheel drive Model 3 - a dual motor version will eventually join the ranks, and yes, there’s already talk of Ludicrous Mode.
We can’t wait for the inevitable BMW M3 drag race when that one’s here…

I just hope it can be beaten
It can be beaten by a proper tuned evo or impreza, the fastest ones reach 3 secs in 0-60
comes out from the shadows of the bar, smoking a cigarette (cowboy accent) Did somebody call for a V8?
I look at that front end of the model three in the video thumbnail and it kind of looks like a panemera. E mission concept confirmed?!
can confirm
It’s all very well that it can get off a starting line quickly but can it get off a production line quickly?
That’s right Elon I got you on the ropes sonnnn
Stfu
Can I just get a proper speedometer in front of the wheel instead of slapping it on a fraction of the huge screen in the middle?
same thing with mini coopers and the yaris…
Ya it looks like they have a tablet with a holder on the dase they should make it flush

Cool, but is a Tesla Model 3 a lot quicker to get to the owners than advertised?
That’s the real question
Lame
Liars all over the world
Shame their production can’t keep up

A Tesla that beats its claimed 0-60 times?!? Never thought that would happen…
