    Thanks to Richard for lending us these Teslas - / @rsev
    Tesla fanboys, are you ready?! We’ve pulled together the three Model 3 variants available today to see just how they perform against each other!
    Now of course, when you look at the stats, you’re going to assume the Performance will walk everything. Given it’s packing dual electric motors, it can put down 457hp and 660Nm! Coming up in second we have the Model 3 Long Range, which also comes with dual electric motors to produce 367hp and 510Nm.
    And then finally we have the Standard Range Plus, which only has a single electric motor, along with the ability to put down 296hp and 450Nm.
    So the drag may be a foregone conclusion, but how about the other challenges? After all, there’s only £16,000 between the Standard and the Performance, so will the Long Range or Standard Plus be able to reel in the Performance?
    There’s only one way to find out - LET’S RACE!

    Dyno testing shows that above 80mph (I don't remember exact speed), the Performance and AWD produces the same HP and torque. The Performance is definitely producing more power at lower speeds. The Performance and AWD shares the same motor, but the performance is a better binned motor. The AWD is software locked to lower power.
    The reason the 2021 Performance lost to the 2020 Long Range at higher speeds in this video is because for the 2021 Model 3 refresh, Tesla changed the battery temperature profile for increased efficiency to reduce heating the battery. However, that means the 2021 Model 3's generally have lower battery temperatures while driving, which significantly reduces performance in cold weather and lower battery levels. The 2018-2020 Model 3s do not have this issue. You can see more about this in the video below. This is a big issue that I hope Tesla fix with an OTA update.

    • @AllanSustainabilityFan
      @AllanSustainabilityFan 3 роки тому +2

      I'm guessing one difference may be the size/weight of the tires, perhaps at high speeds that's a slight drag on acceleration.
      The main benefit of Performance trim is track mode, which lets you adjust the traction for whatever event you're planning to participate in, it also lets the battery cooling operate at a higher level, to help the vehicle maintain that level of performance for extended periods of time.
      ua-cam.com/video/Z4Fb6ToAg6k/v-deo.html
      And perhaps on the track it theoretically could make sense to optimize for stronger acceleration below 70mph, in order to dart out of those twists and turns and make up time on the deceleration around corners and such. No idea if this actually a factor though.

    Hi all, I’ll add my comments here...
    1) The speed difference at higher end seems to be down to this new bigger pack in the newer performance. It just lacks output at higher speeds, at least in these colder conditions. Maybe on warmer days it’s different, but from my own tests so far it’s consistently slightly slower than LR 75kwh cars above 50mph.
    2) a Long Range with “acceleration boost” (a £1500 option which can be unlocked from owners app) would sit right in between the performance and the Lr off the line. Above 50mph it would be the same as the Long Range.
    3) for new performance v old performance, stay tuned to this channel.
    4) braking... I’m 95kg in weight thanks Mat 😂🤔. The newer performance has Pirelli’s and I’m not a fan of them in cold weather. They’re also narrower than the Michelin’s that used to be on performance (2cm less on the road per tyre).

    • @asharak84

    On the breaking performance I think or you would see the difference between the performance model and the long range would be on the track situation where you're continually building up heat. Also there's a track mode I believe in the settings that allow you to hang the ass out a little bit more.
    Also think there's some difference in the cooling system programming that it will go to maximum cooling when it's set in track mode to help keep the battery better managed

      I can tell you, I measured it on my channel. With boost the LR is faster at lower speed and manages a 11.8s quarter mile time. At higher speeds the boost doesnt add anything though, so the results would be pretty much the same. Except the M3P would be even faster now, as this video was done with an old software where power got cut at lower temperatures.

The heat pumps pulls the heat from the battery resulting in poor power output, making it slower than the LR in some conditions.

    The Long Range AWD is really just a software-locked performance model. There are third party modules out there that will take an older Long Range AWD and turn it into a Performance model. I'd assume the reason why the Performance model lost is because after many repeated runs at full performance, the battery was getting hot. Whereas the Long Range at locked-performance wasn't being fully utilized, so the battery was cooler.

    Would there be a difference in the outcome if the Performance was in track mode? My guess is the larger brakes and heavier wheel package are severely hurting the higher speed performance.

    • @italianstallion399
      @italianstallion399 Рік тому

      You are exactly right about that. The moment of inertia of the larger brakes and wheels takes away from acceleration. It is also costly for range. On the long range model, the standard 18” (same as on Matt’s car here) gets 25 miles more range than the 19” upgrade. Yes it’s not the most elegant wheel especially since it has a hubcap but it’s cheaper, more economical and faster. That’s why I’ve always said it’s silly for people that buy sports cars to put ridiculously large rims on them. You’re just robbing performance. You’re also reducing the internal air volume which makes the ride harsher.

    In my opinion the Performance is kinda useless. The 0-60 time is godly, but outside of that there’s nothing about it worth $52,000. I personally think when it comes to value the Long Range one is a little bit more worth it. You get similar (or in this case) better performance than the “performance” and you get the benefit of added range which NEVER hurt anyone. Most ppl can do just fine with the standard Model 3, but if you’re able to dish out the extra money for the LR, I don’t think you would regret it.

  • @TeslaP3D

    This is everything you need to know about the M3P, straight from Travis:
    I keep hearing people say “State of Charge affects acceleration in the Model 3 the most”. While State of Charge does affect acceleration. The temperature of the battery mid pack is the single most important factor for determining how fast the Model 3 Performance will accelerate. This video will show you why that is.
    The absolute quickest acceleration in the Model 3 Performance is achieved when the battery pack temperature is between 125 to 137 degrees Fahrenheit, the State of Charge is 100%, and the motors are as cold as possible. That will give you a “Max Discharge Value” of 629 HP or 462 KW at the battery.
    However, this video will look at the cases where those parameters are not at their optimal values.
    If State of Charge drops to 87% but battery temperatures remain at 135 degrees Fahrenheit, the “Max Discharge Value” will still be 615 HP. That is only a 2% drop in performance even with less than 90% SOC. However, if we raise the SOC from 87% to 89% and drop the temperature in the battery down to 42 degrees Fahrenheit or 5.8 degrees C then the “Max Discharge Value” will drop all the way down to 365 KW or 496 HP. That would be a MASSIVE 20% decrease in performance from battery temperature alone.
    In this case we have increased the SOC by 2% but lost 10 times the amount of performance because the battery is cold. I can’t stress this enough. Battery temperatures affect acceleration so much that the battery SOC becomes irrelevant if the battery is cold.
    To illustrate the point even further I tested this with the SOC at 55% and the battery Temperature at 122 degrees F. The max discharge rate was 570 HP. That is almost 70 HP greater than the cold battery at 89%. Imagine keeping up with someone at 89% SOC when you only had 55% SOC.
    At 76% SOC with the battery at 119.3 degrees F you still can achieve a 598 HP Max Discharge Value. That is only 5% off the absolute maximum acceleration potential with a ¼ of the battery gone. Even if we go down to 32% SOC of charge with a more normal 88.7 Degree F battery we can still have a 511 HP Max Discharge Value.
    We can go as low as 16% SOC with a 118.4 Degree F battery and still have a 496 HP Max Discharge Value. That equals the 496 HP we saw in the earlier example with an 89% SOC and a 42 degree F battery. You can get a similar Max Discharge value from 16% SOC as you can with 89% SOC in this scenario.
    This really is important to stress to everyone. However, I must also tell you that my testing has shown that the affects of heating the battery don’t come into play until after 40 mph. If you heat the battery hoping to see 20% or more improvement in 0-60 mph it won’t happen. Cold motors are actually more important for 0-60 mph in the Model 3 Performance.
    Once you pass 40 mph and especially after you hit the peak HP at 55 mph you will see a significant increase in performance regardless of the State of Charge.
    The lowest Max Discharge Value I have seen was 351 HP at 6% SOC when I drove 283 miles without charging in my 2 year old Model 3 Performance. I still had 18 miles left of range too. However, the car was EXTREMELY slow at that point.
    However, there is one benefit to a low SOC. The max regen braking capabilities only occur at a lower SOC with a hot battery.
    In sport mode you will only see about 116 HP of regen with a fully preconditioned battery. However, in Track Mode with a 118.4 degrees F battery and with 16% battery SOC I saw 241 HP of regen braking capabilities. That is extremely strong braking from regen alone.
    It is important to also understand that the scenarios I have displayed here only apply to the Model 3 Performance. Battery temperature may not affect the Long Range car’s acceleration in exactly the same way.
    Eventually I would like to test non Performance models and even the Model X and Model S to see how temperature affects those cars. I have seen several videos that indicate that the Model S Plaid is capable of achieving more than 1,100 HP at the battery if the conditions are optimal. However, that car in particular really needs cold motors and better tires for optimal performance.

    As you drive at higher speeds, the charge level of the cars makes a difference in how much torque you get at the higher speed. That could be why long range was beating the performance. I know this from a dyno test graph I saw at various charge levels.
