New Tesla Model 3 vs Old Model 3 – Drag Race

New Tesla Model 3 vs Old Model 3

In this CarWow episode, Mat Watson will answer the question, how much difference do you get in performance between the new and old editions? When it comes to the Tesla Model 3, it doesn’t get any better than the Model 3 Performance. When you look at the stats, you might find this an odd drag race. Because even though these are two different editions of the same car, their stats are seemingly identical! They are both powered by dual electric motors, and they both produce 457hp & 660Nm. Not only that, but they both weigh 184kg, and they both cost just over $56,000. So, to find the answer let’s race!

They both are dual motors 457 horsepower, 660Nm, they both weigh around 1850kg but, there are still some differences. For instance, the new Tesla Model 3 performance is slightly heavier wheels, apparently, they are a kilo heavier at each corner. It has acoustic glass double glazing which adds weight to it. It also has a bigger battery. In acceleration, they are both in standard.

both the cars completed the standing quarter-mile in 11.7 seconds

So, in this test drag race, both the cars completed the standing quarter-mile in 11.7 seconds, but the older Model 3 won by the narrowest margin. They did a rolling Race and the same thing happened again. But the new Model 3 is better than the old Model 3.
