Tesla Model 3 Performance Facelift 2024 May Get New Motor, VIN Suggests

📌 Hashtag:

TeslaModel3, #TeslaModel3PerformanceFacelift, #TeslaModel3Facelift2024

📌 Keyword video: Tesla, Tesla Model 3, Tesla Model 3 Performance Facelift, Tesla Model 3 Facelift 2024

The VIN features the letter "T" in the eighth position, just like the European-market Plaid Model S and Model X.

When Tesla unveiled the facelifted Model 3 at the end of August for Europe, China, and other markets around the world – not North America, though – there was one notable trim level missing from the lineup, the range-topping Model 3 Performance.

Tesla did not mention it at all in the press release, and the online configurator launched in those markets with only the single-motor RWD and Long Range Dual Motor AWD trim levels. On top of that, in some markets like Australia, customers who had ordered the Model 3 Performance reported that Tesla canceled their orders shortly after the sales launch of the facelifted Model 3 in the country.

Understandably, this contributed to the emergence of rumors that Tesla might not offer the Model 3 Performance anymore. Well, it looks like the M3P will probably return, as suggested by a European Type Certificate from the RDW, the Netherlands' vehicle authority.

[e-carlease]

The new Model 3 EV will be well-stocked in specification with Performance design, sports seats, adaptive suspension, adaptive damping, ventilated seats, 20” Warp alloys, performance brakes, 15.4” centre touchscreen, 8” second row display in the back, studio sound quality with the 17-sepaker system (including dual subwoofers and amplifiers), phone key integration, wireless phone charging, glass roof, carbon fibre details inside, navigation and Track Mode. The Enhanced Autopilot (at £3,400) adds navigation on Autopilot and auto lane change with the Full Self-driving Capability (at £6,800) adding more autonomous driving including traffic light and stop control.

On colours, select from Pearl White, Deep Blue, Solid Black, Ultra Red and the new Stealth Grey. Only the 20” alloys are available. But you can select your own interior choice with the standard black or the chargeable white available. Other than your dedicated charge point, you are good to go.

But how does the Model 3 Performance perform? This AWD Saloon will have a 75 kWh usable battery which will offer 0 – 62 times of 3.3 seconds, 163 mph top speeds and 461 kW (or 618hp). Expect a combined winter range of 235 miles with warmer weather allowing for 325 miles – a 285 mile combined. On charging, the 11 kW AC max will allow 8 hour and 15 mins 0 – 100% charging times with the 250 kW DC maximum allowing 27 minute 10 – 80% times. A cargo volume of 594L is available with this car.
