The Tesla Model 3 long range speed test is an
incredible feat while the Tesla model three long range speed
test is impressive and the Tesla model 3 is the least
expensive option in Tesla's electric car fleet it would be
naive to think that it is not an important car for Tesla the
model three long range is arguably the most important car
Tesla makes it is the cash cow of the company as part of Eli
Musk's gradual plan to establish Tesla as a major car
maker, the model three's release was the most vital step
in the process. While the original Roadster displayed the
possibilities with an electric sports car and the model S
showed what an electric luxury vehicle looks like both of
these models were low and mid volume production respectively
but the model3 is a high volume production car since it targets
an average consumer, your average Toyota buyer which is
why the model three is the economic foundation of Tesla
Motors and the car has seen immense success over the years.
In fact, breaking the French 1955 Citron DS's record of the
most pre-release car reservations by fetching more
than twice the number of reservations and now we're a
few years into the model three's release and we see this
incredible car get only more popular with time. In today's
video, we will see the model three's long range variant
pushed to its limit. How fast can the model three long range
go? Does it measure up to the claims made by the company or
does it fall short in the real world. Keep watching the video
to the end to find out. An all-wheel drive sedan. There
was a time when all-wheel drive was considered just a fad but
these days it's seen as an essential feature to enhance
the traction of cars. Particularly those that weigh a
lot and this £4, 000 plus model three long range is a perfect
example of that. This car hits 60 miles per hour in merely
four seconds. Passed a quarter mile in only 12. 5 seconds at a
speed of 113 miles per hour and managed all of this with only
364 horsepower and three hundred six foot pounds of
torque. The model 3 is blazing fast. To give you a benchmark,
all the highest performing model threes have had dual
motors and have been performance models which come
with 450 horsepower and 471 foot pound of torque. The
fastest managed a zero -60 mile per hour time of 3. 1 while the
slowest the rear motor long range did it in 4. 8 seconds.
Quarter mile times coming in at 11. 7 seconds at 115 miles per
hour and 13. 4 seconds at 105 miles per hour. The
acceleration alone can show the benefits of having the
all-wheel drive traction this dual motor variant gives. 8.
seconds faster in reaching freeway speeds and 9. seconds
at the quarter mile test. All because of that extra motor.
The long range dual motor variant is only point nine sec
behind the performance for the zero to 60 test and pointeight
for the quarter mile reaching only two miles per hour lesser
speed at the end of the quarter mile to give you guys some
perspective these kinds of numbers put this car ahead of
the likes of the Audi S4 and the BMW M6 Grand Coupe and
other cars that have come close to the performance are the
Mustang GT and the Dodge Hellcat twins the model three
fell behind only in the quarter but you must remember it's
doing all that with only 350 horsepower. And the same dual
motor model three's performance variant car is the fourth
fastest sedan tested in the world. Behind only the model SP
100D ludicrous Porsche Panamera BMW M5 and the Mercedes AMG
E63S with which the model 3 ties all of which are all
drives as well. It's all about the road grip. So if you manage
to have enough traction and provide enough power, you can
essentially make any car achieve record breaking
performance. With sports cars that do record speeds rivaling
the model three, road grip is a paramount importance. However,
if you own a model three, there is one less thing to worry
about since this car does amazingly well at corners. All
thanks to the durable all-season tires that are part
of the package with the long range variant. In this
category, it again falls between the single motor rear
wheel drive model three long range and the all-wheel drive
dual motor model 3. Cornering is the centrifucal force that
the car can generate conventionally measured in G
which is a force that causes 9. 8 meters per second squared
acceleration. A car's cornering performance is measured by
driving the vehicle on a circular path with a known
radius. The driver increases speed till they can't keep
their car centered around the radius. The model three
performed amazingly well on this test and managed an
excellent. 9G average and delivered a figure eight lap
time of 24. 9 seconds at point78 average. The model
three stability at corners puts it way ahead of the rear drive
car. 87g average and 25. 7 seconds at point74 average G
and not very much behind the performance model that delivers
95. G average and 24. 2 seconds at 83. average G. Everything is
about speed. However, apart from these usually expected
places where companies enhance actual performance, Tesla also
has something more novel going on often isn't given much
attention and that is its windshield. Ultra minimalist
interior design isn't just for the looks because not having
anything there means the cow height base of the windscreen
is much lower than average cars. So with such a big
windshield in front you get a very expansive view that all
the usual instruments and gauges would have blocked in a
regular car. And what does this do for speed? It gives you the
illusion that you're going a lot faster. It's like sitting
at the front of a roller coaster where your movement and
speed are right in front of you. The world moving behind
you with not much for you to see inside the car as a
reference point. This gives a view and experience more akin
to sitting in a McLaren than a regular family sedan and add to
that the low center of gravity due to the massive battery pack
at the bottom and instant acceleration and the model
three will give you a blazing fast experience every time you
feel the thrill and floor the accelerator or make a sharp
turn. So that was our take on the Tesla Model 3 long range.
