How powerful is it? How fast does it accelerate?

The Tesla Model 3 Performance (2018-2024) achieves a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 3.1 seconds (placing it at №44 among 693 electric vehicles) and attains a maximum speed of 162 mph.

Its powertrain provides a power output of up to 377 kW (506 hp) and a torque of 487 lb-ft.

How far can it go on single charge? What is the real-world range?

Real-world range of the Tesla Model 3 Performance (2018-2024) is 278–340 miles (ranked №117 out of 693 electric vehicles) — depending on several factors, including:

  • Speed: Higher speeds deplete the battery faster.
  • Temperature: Extreme cold and hot weather impacts range.
  • Terrain: Hilly or mountainous terrain reduces range.
  • Driving style: Aggressive driving with frequent acceleration and braking consumes more energy.
  • Use of features: Features like climate control and media system also affect range.

It's important to remember that these are just estimates, and your actual range may vary. It's always best to factor in these various factors when planning your trip and be prepared for potential charging stops.

Plan your trips using the EV Navigation interactive map.

What charging options are available? How long does it take to charge it?

The Tesla Model 3 Performance (2018-2024) in the USA is equipped with a Tesla (NACS) charging port. You can charge it conveniently at home using a standard outlet, or utilize any public AC charging station with the appropriate cable. However, the car's built-in charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging speed to 11.5 kW, which translates to roughly 42 miles of range added per hour.

For faster charging, use DC fast-charging stations. The Tesla Model 3 Performance (2018-2024) supports a maximum DC charging rate of 250 kW, but it's important to note that battery temperature and current charge level can affect the actual charging speed you'll experience.
