Advanced Track Mode: This feature allows drivers to customize the adaptive suspension, chassis, and powertrain controls for a tailored track driving experience, enhancing handling balance, stability control, and regenerative braking.
Improved Aerodynamics: Updates include redesigned front and rear fascias, a rear diffuser, and a carbon fiber spoiler to reduce drag and improve lift balance at high speeds.
Forged Performance Wheels: These lightweight, staggered wheels are designed for better traction and sharper turn-in response, optimizing both comfort and range.
Performance Brakes and Chassis: Upgraded brake rotors, calipers, and performance brake pads, along with performance springs, dampers, bushings, and stabilizer bars, deliver stronger stopping power and a more capable chassis.
Ventilated Sport Seats and Carbon Fiber Details: New sport seats feature enhanced bolstering for a deeper, more engaging driving position, complemented by lightweight carbon fiber decor throughout the cabin.
You still get the same immersive sound system with 17 speakers, dual subwoofers, and dual amplifiers. The 15.4″ center touchscreen is paired with an 8″ rear touchscreen, offering rear passengers independent access to climate controls, Bluetooth connectivity, and entertainment.
The Model 3 Performance also maintains impressive specifications with a long-range battery that provides an EPA-estimated range of 296 miles, dual motor all-wheel drive, and substantial cargo space of 24 cubic feet.
