The 2023 Tesla Model 3 is a battery-electric sedan with AWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the Gen 1 generation. The Performance is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured Performance version develops 462 hp and 639 Nm (471 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 3.3 seconds, which is seriously quick. Top speed is listed at 261 km/h (162 mph). Its power output is about 9% below the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 27% quicker than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Battery, range and charging
Battery capacity is listed at 75.0 kWh. The recorded electric range is 547 km (340 miles). Listed energy or fuel consumption is 14.8 kWh/100km. Maximum DC charging power is 250 kW. Its listed range is about 7% below the peer average. Real-world range and charging speed still depend on temperature, speed, wheel choice, battery state and the conditions of the test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,694 mm (184.8 in) in length, 1,849 mm (72.8 in) in width, and 1,443 mm (56.8 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,875 mm (113.2 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 561 litres (19.8 cu ft), expanding to 1,100 litres (38.8 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 1,844 kg (4,065 lb). The recorded braked towing capacity is 910 kg (2,006 lb). That cargo volume is about 10% above the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
The model range
The recorded line-up consists of Long Range and Performance. Across the range, the specifications span 351 hp to 462 hp, 3.3 s to 4.4 s, and 547 km to 602 km, while listed starting prices run from $40,240-$50,990. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.
In perspective
Compared with nearby battery-electric sedan models from the same period, the 2023 Tesla Model 3 is strongest on price and acceleration, while towing capacity and power stand out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
