2021 Tesla Model 3

With 49,788 miles, this 2021 Tesla Model 3 Performance combines breathtaking electric acceleration, dual-motor all-wheel-drive confidence, a low center of gravity, minimalist technology, and the factory Performance Upgrade Package that transforms the already quick Model 3 into something genuinely exhilarating. There is no waiting for boost. No transmission hunting for the right gear. No engine climbing toward its powerband. You press the accelerator—and the response is immediate. The Model 3 Performance delivers the kind of acceleration that changes your perception of what a compact sport sedan can be, while still giving you four doors, everyday comfort, excellent cargo flexibility, and the convenience of electric ownership. Dual-Motor Electric Performance At the heart of the Model 3 Performance is Tesla's dual-motor all-wheel-drive system, with separate electric motors powering the front and rear axles. That architecture allows the vehicle to react to traction conditions electronically while delivering immense torque almost instantly. Performance highlights include: Dual Electric Motors All-Wheel Drive Single-Speed Direct-Drive Transmission High-Voltage Lithium-Ion Battery Instant Electric Torque Regenerative Braking Low-Mounted Battery Architecture Electronic Traction Control Electronic Stability Control Independent Suspension Four-Wheel Disc Brakes Because there is no conventional multi-speed transmission, acceleration is delivered as one smooth, uninterrupted surge. No shifts. No hesitation. Just power. Performance Upgrade Package The Performance model isn't simply a Long Range Model 3 with more software. Tesla gave it a collection of hardware designed to sharpen handling, braking, and visual presence. Performance equipment includes: 20-Inch Überturbine Wheels Performance-Oriented Tires Upgraded Performance Brakes Red Brake Calipers Lowered Performance Suspension Carbon Fiber Rear Spoiler Track-Oriented Performance Software Performance Pedals Increased Acceleration Capability These upgrades give the Model 3 Performance a distinctly more aggressive personality, both visually and dynamically. The carbon fiber spoiler adds subtle motorsport character, while the larger brakes and sport suspension help ensure the chassis feels as serious as the acceleration. Instant Acceleration The defining feature of a Model 3 Performance is difficult to communicate until you experience it. Electric motors do not need to build RPM. They do not wait for a turbocharger to spool. They do not wait for an automatic transmission to downshift. Torque arrives almost immediately. That means pulling away from a stop, merging onto the highway, or passing at speed feels incredibly responsive and almost surreal in its smoothness. The silence makes it even more dramatic. Instead of hearing an engine building toward a crescendo, the scenery simply begins arriving much faster. Track Mode For the enthusiast, one of the Performance model's most interesting features is Track Mode. Designed specifically for closed-course performance driving, Track Mode can alter how the vehicle manages: Motor Torque Distribution Stability Control Traction Intervention Regenerative Braking Battery & Powertrain Cooling Vehicle Dynamics The system allows the Model 3 Performance to take greater advantage of its dual-motor architecture and low-mounted battery when driven in a performance environment. It's a reminder that beneath the clean touchscreen interface and quiet cabin is a genuinely sophisticated performance platform. Low Center of Gravity One of the greatest advantages of Tesla's electric architecture is where the battery sits. The high-voltage battery pack is mounted low beneath the passenger compartment, helping create a very low center of gravity. That contributes to: Reduced Body Roll Stable High-Speed Behavior Predictable Cornering Balanced Chassis Response Confident Direction Changes The result is a vehicle that feels far more planted than its practical four-door shape might suggest. Premium Minimalist Interior Step inside and the Model 3 immediately feels unlike a conventional sport sedan. Instead of surrounding the driver with a maze of gauges, switches, and buttons, Tesla centers nearly everything around a large central touchscreen. Interior highlights include: Premium Seating Heated Front Seats Heated Rear Seats Power Front Seats Driver Profile Memory Power Tilt/Telescoping Steering Column Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control Rear Climate Vents Premium Interior Trim Keyless Entry Phone Key Capability Fold-Flat Rear Seating Spacious Five-Passenger Layout It's remarkably clean and uncluttered. The technology is extensive—but visually, the interior remains calm and simple. 15-Inch Touchscreen At the center of the cabin is Tesla's signature 15-inch touchscreen, serving as the primary interface for navigation, entertainment, climate control, charging, and vehicle settings. Technology includes: 15-Inch Center Touchscreen Integrated
