Tested: Tesla Model 3 Performance And Standard Range Plus Dyno Results

Let’s see how much power these two variants of the Model 3 actually crank out.

How many “horses” and how many “newtons” do electric cars truly have? To answer that question, we did not just use any electric car, but ours, a Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus, which we brought to a dyno to detect its real data, together with the most powerful version of the Model 3 – the Model 3 Performance.

And this not only because Tesla does not officially declare torque and power, but also to remind you that what you read in the spec sheet does not necessarily correspond to the highest power value that the motor can deliver.

 

kW and hp, the conversion

Before starting, it is worth familiarizing yourself with the conversion between the unit of measurement of power officially recognized in physics and engineering by the so-called International System (kW), with the one to which we are historically more used to – horsepower (hp). The simplest thing is to remember that 100 kW ≈ 136 HP , or 1 kW ≈ 1.36 HP.
