Frequently Asked Questions

How fast is Tesla Model 3 Performance (2018)

The Tesla Model 3 Performance (2018) is equipped with a powertrain that delivers up to 377 kW (506 hp) of power and 660 Nm of torque.

This enables a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 3.3 seconds (ranked №34 out of 586 electric vehicles) and a top speed of 261 km/h.

Real-world range of Tesla Model 3 Performance (2018)

The estimated real-world range for Tesla Model 3 Performance (2018) falls between 447–547 km, ranking it №73 out of 586 electric vehicles. Several conditions can influence this range:

Speed: The battery drains faster at higher speeds.
Temperature: Extreme temperatures can impact range.
Terrain: Range is reduced on hilly or mountainous terrain.
Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors, such as frequent acceleration and braking, decrease efficiency.
Feature utilization: Climate control and media system usage also affect range.

These figures are approximations, and your actual driving range may vary. When planning trips, consider these factors and be prepared for potential charging stops.

For trip planning assistance, utilize the EV Navigation interactive map.

Tesla Model 3 Performance (2018) charge port type?

The Tesla Model 3 Performance (2018) in Europe comes with a CCS Type 2 (Tesla) charging port. It can be charged at home using a standard domestic socket or at any public AC charging station with the compatible cable. It's important to note that the car's on-board charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging rate to 11 kW, resulting in approximately 65 km of range added per hour of charging.

For significantly faster charging, public DC fast-charging stations are available. Although the car can achieve a maximum DC charging rate of 250 kW, factors such as battery temperature and charge level may affect the actual charging speed.
