This is what the Tesla Model 3 Performance costs in the Netherlands

Plaid of Ludicrous, the name of the fastest Tesla Model 3 remained a better secret than the car itself. It bears the name Performance and its price immediately makes the brand known.

The first images of the fastest Model 3 were leaked on April 4. Because the car has the Plaid logo, a Model 3 Plaid was a logical name. The name Ludicrous also went around.

Tesla Model 3 Performance

It has really become the Tesla Model 3 Performance, and it is faster than ever before. The model has two electric motors, one on the front and one on the rear axle, and therefore four-wheel drive. The power sources provide a peak power of 460 hp. This allows the electric car to sprint from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 3.1 seconds. The top speed is 262 kilometers per hour.

The electric motors are linked to the battery pack of the Long Range. This means that you can travel 528 kilometers on a single battery charge. Charging is possible with a maximum of 250 kW at the fast charger.

The Tesla Model 3 Performance is slightly lighter than the Long Range AWD. This is mainly due to the lighter 20-inch wheels. Furthermore, the Performance has a carbon fiber spoiler, more powerful brakes, sports seats and carbon fiber details in the interior. Tesla has also addressed the chassis. For example, the fastest Model 3 has different springs, dampers, bushings and stabilizer bars. Furthermore, the model has a special Track Mode, which we previously tried with its predecessor. In the video below we take you around the Nürburgring Nordschleife in the old Model 3 with Track Package.

How much does the Tesla Model 3 Performance cost? In the Netherlands it is available from 56,990 euros. That is 7,000 euros more expensive than the Long Range AWD and 15,000 euros more expensive than the RWD. Would you like to stay informed about a driving test with the Performance?
