Tesla Model 3 Performance on a dynamometer. The measured power is 13 percent higher than Tesla's claimed 385 kW.
Tesla does not brag about the engine power of its cars, and if it gives any values, they apply to the entire car and may be underestimated. The Tesla Model 3 Performance promises up to 340 kW (462 hp) of power at its peak, but it looks like the car can do a little more.
Tesla 3 Performance power and torque on dynamometer
The test appeared on Misha Charudin's YouTube channel. The Russians compared the current Tesla Model 3 Performance with the old version of the car, the results of which were recorded. It turned out that the car's torque curve was worse (two lines with a peak on the left) and the power curve was similar (two other lines). It was the pinnacle of achievement 651 Nm at 68 km / h and 385 kW (523 hp) at a speed of 83 km / h (red lines).
The manufacturer claims a maximum power of 340 kW (462 hp), so the dyno value was 13,2 percent higher.... Most interesting, however, was the maximum power line of the new Model 3 Performance, which ranks above the blue chart of the old car. This means that from around 83 km / h the Tesla 3 Performance (2021) should accelerate better than the older variants of the car.
It should be added that the power graph (the one with a more moderate drop) calculated based on torque measured at the wheels and wheel speed. If the torque curve had a smaller dip, the power curve would be much flatter. But to do this, the manufacturer will have to use a higher voltage - which can be difficult, since the maximum battery voltage is set to 400 V - or a higher amperage, or choose a gearbox.
