2 Answers
Tesla Model 3's 0-100 km/h acceleration time is 3.5 seconds. Vehicle Positioning: The Model 3 is a mid-size electric vehicle with a wheelbase of 2875 mm, and its length, width, and height are 4694 mm, 1850 mm, and 1443 mm respectively. Battery Specifications: The Model 3 is equipped with ternary lithium batteries across all variants, which offer higher energy density and lighter weight. Powertrain: The Model 3 is available in both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions. The all-wheel drive version features dual motors, while the rear-wheel drive version has a single motor. The all-wheel drive Model 3 has a combined motor power of 340 kW and a total torque of 639 Nm. The rear-wheel drive version has a maximum motor power of 202 kW and a maximum torque of 404 Nm.
Driving a Tesla Model 3 feels absolutely exhilarating. I've test-driven it several times, and the 0-100 km/h acceleration time varies by model. The Rear-Wheel Drive version takes about 6.1 seconds, the Long Range version does it in 4.4 seconds, and the top-performance Performance version achieves it in just around 3.3 seconds. This means you can feel the powerful acceleration and the push-back sensation the moment you step on the pedal, as if you're taking off. Electric cars can be this fast because their motors respond super quickly with no delay. Despite the impressive acceleration, it's still quite safe for daily city driving, especially during my commute when I don’t get frustrated by traffic jams. I remember once when the Rear-Wheel Drive version slipped a bit during acceleration on a rainy day, but the electronic stability control system kicked in immediately—very reliable. I recommend choosing a model based on your budget. The Performance version is more expensive, but that doesn’t mean you’ll drive aggressively all the time. The key is to prioritize safety and avoid speeding.
