Tesla Model 3 Performance Tested – Supercar Speed Meets Family Saloon
The Model 3 Performance delivers 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds with 500bhp, trading range for power while maintaining family saloon usability, priced at £59,990 in the UK.
- On February 17, 2026, reviewers named the Tesla Model 3 Performance the quickest Tesla in the UK, balancing supercar speed with family practicality.
- Tesla raised output to around 500bhp and retuned suspension and brakes to make the Performance model distinct.
- With a WLTP rating of 354 miles, the Performance’s range falls short of the Long Range RWD’s 466 miles, and it costs 59,990 pounds.
- Drivers found it surprisingly lithe and responsive, enjoying everyday driving and long journeys despite acceleration being mostly a 'party piece' that reduces ride comfort.
- Potential buyers may find the market narrow, as some prospective buyers might prefer a Porsche Cayman or Lotus, though the Performance can feel like a bargain compared to petrol alternatives.
