European homologation documents for the future Tesla Model 3 Performance have leaked and reinforce the idea of an upcoming announcement.
In the grand narrative Tesla, communication is central. To the point that it’s no longer clear what is a staged or accidental leak.
While speculation is rife about the imminent arrival of a Performance version of the new Model 3, which was unveiled in early September 2023, Tesla has kept silent. A first piece of information circulating online in the past few hours concerns the “code” letter of this variant in Tesla’s homologation nomenclature: T. Simple and effective.
Alongside this letter, it is learned that the technical configuration would feature two motors (Dual Motor), hence all-wheel drive. Not a big surprise in one sense, as the promised performance will require excellent traction. The current generation, for example, had an estimated power — Tesla never discloses the exact technical specs of its models — of 340 kW (450 hp) and could accelerate to 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds! Better than many much more expensive Porsche or Ferrari models…
The battery of the 2021 Performance version was the same as the Long Range, at 85 kWh. We can assume the same technical rationalization, meaning a WLTP range that should be around 600 km with the upcoming version (629 km for the Long Range version).
However, the leak of this first document suggests that other pages of the file may have leaked as well. The drip-feed release of technical information about the future Model 3 Performance could either prompt Tesla to accelerate its communication… or enjoy the buzz created by the suspense. We lean more towards the second hypothesis…
