Long Range RWD Model 3 engage the Ford Mustang GT in an impromptu stop light battle ... ] Looking at the listed performance specs for the Long Range Tesla Model 3 in single motor configuration, the vehicle’s 0-60 mph time of 5.1 seconds and a top speed of 140 mph isn’t the frightening power and acceleration of Tesla’s flagship sedan, the dual motor Model S P100D. Tesla’s exotic car killer is capable of sprinting to 60 mph in 2.3 seconds on Ludicrous Mode and holds the title as winner of Motor Trend’s “World’s Greatest Drag Race.” Nevertheless, a recent video shot in the perspective of a Model 3 driver shows how even a single motor, Tesla’s more modestly specced all-electric powertrain is impressively quick and capable of turning impromptu stop light challenges from high-performance gas-powered cars into child’s play. A Model 3 owner who runs the YouTube channel TeslaExposed recently posted a video featuring a casual acceleration test against a Ford Mustang GT. On paper, the matchup between the Long Range RWD Model 3 and a 2015 Ford Mustang GT look compelling. Between the two vehicles, the Mustang GT actually has the edge in terms of listed performance specs, with its 0-60 mph time of 4.4 seconds and its top speed of 164 mph. The 2015 iteration of the American-bred muscle car is powered by a 5.0-liter DOHC 32-valve V8 engine with 435 hp that produces 400 lb-ft of torque. The high-performance car, just like its predecessors from years past, is also equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission. Calling all adventure seekers! After doing extensive research, we’ve figured out how you can live your best life this summer while getting out in the great outdoors. On the other hand, the Long Range Tesla Model 3 is equipped with a single 192 kW AC three-phase permanent magnet electric motor that produces instant torque off the line. It is also fitted with a battery pack comprised of Tesla’s new 2170 cells, which give the electric car a range of 310 miles per single charge. The race between the performance vehicle and the electric car started when the light turned green. The driver of the Model 3 had a pretty bad start, stepping on the accelerator noticeably after the 2015 Ford Mustang GT’s driver. While the Mustang GT commanded an early lead, it only took a split second for the Model 3 to overtake the American muscle car with authority. Needless to say, the first-person view from the driver’s seat shows Tesla’s rather conservative Long Range RWD Model 3 is plenty quick. Tesla is currently beginning deliveries of the Model 3 Performance, the top-tier variant of the electric car, to reservation holders. The Model 3 Performance is equipped with dual electric motors that produce a combined 450 hp and 471 lb-ft of torque. The vehicle, which Elon Musk states would be 15% faster than a BMW M3 on the track, is listed with a 0-60 mph time of 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 155 mph. Just like Model 3 in a single motor configuration, Model 3 Performance is capable of traveling 310 miles on a single charge.
