2021 Tesla Model 3 Performance

The Model 3 is Tesla's compact electric sedan, positioned as the brand's most affordable car and a direct rival to the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4. Instant torque and a low center of gravity make the Model 3 feel quick and nimble, with responsive steering that encourages spirited driving. The cabin is minimalist, with a large central touchscreen controlling nearly every function and a glass roof that opens up the interior. Standard tech includes over-the-air updates, a 15-inch touchscreen, and Autopilot with adaptive cruise and lane keeping. The Performance is the top Model 3, trading the Long Range's smoother ride for sharper handling and a 0-60 time in the low three-second range. Dual motors give it all-wheel drive and instant response, with 315 miles of range from the same battery pack as the Long Range. Track Mode lets you adjust torque distribution and stability control, making it a genuine dual-purpose car for the road and the track.
