Tesla Model 3 Performance Tested – Supercar Speed Meets Family Saloon
Tesla Model 3 Performance delivers 500bhp with 0-60 in 2.9 seconds while preserving family saloon practicality, but sacrifices range and ride comfort, with a price of £59,990.
- In the review published February 17, 2026, the Tesla Model 3 Performance is declared the quickest Tesla in the UK, combining supercar acceleration with family practicality.
- Tesla boosted power and retuned the chassis, raising output to around 500bhp and making the Performance model distinct.
- Compared with the WLTP range of 466 miles, the Performance's 354 miles comes at a £59,990 price, reflecting a range-performance trade-off.
- Drivers found it surprisingly lithe and responsive, enjoying everyday driving and long journeys despite acceleration being a 'party piece' that reduces ride comfort.
- Potential buyers may find the market narrow for the Model 3 Performance, while some prefer a Porsche Cayman or Lotus, though Performance feels like a bargain.
