Nobody said it was over 600 wheel HP. It makes almost 615 HP at the battery and that is a true measured value we read directly from the battery. The issue with your dyno numbers is that Dynos are not meant to measure power or torque at very low speeds. That is why cars are typically dyno’d in 4th or 5th gear at much higher speeds. 500+ HP at low speeds is an extreme amount of torque and dynos can’t typically handle it. Plus they lose accuracy because the torque and accelerations are so severe at low speeds. There is no way a car with only 500 WHP is running 10.75 @ 127 mph in the 1/4 mile. Just plug that time and speed into any HP calculator and you will see that those specs require at least 600+ Wheel HP. The car absolutely makes 610+ HP at the battery and something like 550+ WHP when the battery is fully optimized. I know everyone wants to get dyno numbers for this car but it won’t be accurate because the single speed transmission in an EV makes typical dynos useless for measuring an EV. The Kia EV6 GT that is said to have 576 HP has that value at the battery. If you read the exact same metric for the new Model 3 Performance it will read 613 HP. Why does everyone believe the 576 HP value for the EV6 GT and not the 613 HP value for the Tesla?

Many ppl overlook what Elon talks about in this model, that it’s not just higher HP, but more importantly the PEAK power & torque is MAINTAINED LONGER for a better full 1/4 mile for example. Another great vid Michael.

[JetFuelOnly]

Awesome commentary at the beginning! Thank you for being informed and informing us!

[BlueElectricityTesla]

Great vid with awesome data thanks for doin this stuff with your M3P so we don’t have to lol have a good one and good luck growing your channel

[Swishers]

tbh the torque is probably the most interesting thing to see, we need those numbers!!

[Nisse]

Thanks for that! The thing with the new Performance model is that it continue to pull hard att higher speeds where the old model fell off. So maybe the peak HP-numbers are similar, but if we would put the charts from the new and old car ontop of each other, we would se bigger and bigger difference as the rpm/speed goes up. That is a good thing :) Thanks again!

[Davidtheinfidel]

Thanks man. I've been waiting to see this.

[rogerserafin]

Good video Michael ! Thanks for sharing.

[natew]

Great breakdown discussion on inertia vs brake dyno. With a 15% difference as mentioned in the video, then your best run would be 514 HP --> 591 HP on a DynoJet. Nice!

[sigmaGameSense]

Got our 2024 M3 Ludicrous on June 26 and the driving just feels way better than my Model X Plaid hahah

[Supersprint]

Thanks for that, very interesting and your explanation at the beginning was excellent. Many a young man and their money has been parted with dyno tweaks.

The dude who ran many 10s already inc multiple 10.7s in NC shared his teslafi data at max output so far of 457kws.
The U.S. spec new 24 m3p is a fkn monster! Best per dollar value American made sports sedan available. 👍🏻😎

Makes me wonder if the new m3 lr rwd trim at $42, 490 with 363 miles of range has the 4du in it?
Since it does 0-60mph in 4.9s with a single motor stock. Imagine a boost upgrade to run low 4s in a rwd trim m3 for under 38k!

I've been enjoying my model 3 performance. When I was much younger I used to race a bit. And the most powerful car I drove was something around 700 horsepower, but that car was just pure violence. No power no power no power, power band violence for 2000 RPM, grab the next gear try to keep up.

There is no doubt that car would be faster around most tracks than my model 3 Performance in the hands of a competent driver.

But the Driving Experience is so much different. I can concentrate on proper breaking proper Apex proper exit, and really focus on those details that I would not have been able to do with that old Porsche. The Porsche was much more city of the pants driving, just trying to manage whatever heroic bad behavior was going on at the moment, with the model 3 I can really focus down on proper driving technique and for most people in most cases I believe it would be quite a bit quicker and a lot less likely to end up in a terrible crash.

Finally, one other person on YouTube who understands dynos and how you can’t compare between dynos on different days, and what the purpose of dynoing is. If I had a dollar for every moron who compares what someone got on some other dyno on some other day to what I got, lol.

[giuseppmontanar]

Can you try the Highland LR version too?

[dangrass]

yet more great content. Thanks much for doing this. Seems the big power difference between the 2024 Performance and earlier versions is not the absolute power, but the "area under the curve". As Tesla stated, the new motor is able to produce higher power far further up the rev range than the earlier motor. The performance testing definitely shows this to be the case, with substantially higher 1/4 mile trap speeds and substantially faster high speed acceleration. When comparing my former 2019 LRDM car to the Performance version of that car it was pretty clear that the Performance variant was only faster up to 60, and after that they were the same. My new 2024 Performance is not like that, and has substantially more high speed power than the 2019 car.

[Goforadrian]

Thank you for posting this. To me it really felt like more hp. Maybe someday we will get a ludicrous unlock for more power the motors are capable of!

[nathansuss]

There's gotta be a software performance upgrade coming down the line, the motors and battery should be able to do more according to their specs??

[VictorDiaz-lomu]

Inertial dynos usually estimate the transmision looses, and provide engine power figures. If you can try to do that with an EV, as they have regenerative braking and no clutch, you will overestimate the looses and you will read at least 100 extra hp.

[joseramirez]

Everybody focus on dyno numbers
I don’t care about dyno numbers. I don’t know the power of my 9’s Mustang.
The most important figure to determine power/weight is trap speed. That doesn’t lie
A 500whp narrow power band car will be slower than a 500 whp wide power band on the same weight.
New model 3 has a wider powerband than the previous and that’s where the quicker acceleration comes from.
