Real life, baby

We're not in Kansas anymore

Teslas have excellent traction in snow, thanks to low center of gravity, instant torque & traction control that’s far more precise than gas or diesel

[Tesla Super Intelligence @TeslaSI]

Animal style

[Tesla @Tesla]

Tesla full stack vehicle controls enable millisecond-level traction adjustments

That way, Model Y can put power to whichever wheel has traction & engage brakes on the other wheels to pull itself up

[Kyle Conner @itskyleconner]

Why is Model Y so good at this 🙌

[Tesla @Tesla]

New Model 3 Performance responds even more precisely to your inputs on the track, thanks to entirely new controls & calibration within powertrain + adaptive damping

@united hey guys let’s get this plane in the air, fix my grommet please

Brake system in New Model Y has the freedom to use either electric motor or mechanical brake when you push the brake pedal

This brings you maximum efficiency, consistency in pedal behavior & improved stability

[Tesla @Tesla]

Low center of gravity, highly responsive motor control & traction control that's vastly more precise than diesel or gas

[Tesla @Tesla]

Traction control of our electric motors is much more precise compared to diesel or gas, which brings you superior traction on snow or ice

This is true even for RWD vehicles. Make sure you have appropriate tires for your climate & you’re good to go

Reminder for this year

[Nic Wiggins @nic_wigs]

not being able to pair bluetooth to play your music in a @Waymo seems like a miss

[Kyle Conner @itskyleconner]

Another post praising Tesla’s vertically integrated traction control systems with in-motor powertrain longitudinal wheel speed control… needs a few miles to calibrate after a tire swap and then it’s good to go.

Magic traction control, much of which happens right inside of the inverter to reduce ECU response / lag time

Some other automakers do this, or similar, but Tesla has mass deployed this incredible tech!

Means faster acceleration than braking in some situations + life saving / performance improving response time ⚡️

New Model 3 Performance launching today 🏎️

→ https://t.co/MylTZE6g29

0-60 mph in 2.9
510 hp / 741 Nm
163 mph top speed
—
Performance-tuned chassis
Same quiet & comfortable cabin plus bespoke chassis hardware for improved stiffness and higher performance baseline.

More power, lower energy consumption
New Performance 4th gen drive unit can deliver:

+22% continuous power
+32% peak power
+16% peak torque

compared to previous Model 3 Performance. All with lower total energy consumption!

Forged & staggered 20" wheels + Pirelli P Zero 4 tires
Better traction out of corners while limiting traction control interventions.

Also, better comfort, lower rolling resistance & increased range.

Better Track Mode
Track Mode V3 now integrates motor controls, suspension controls, powertrain cooling, & our Vehicle Dynamics Controller (VDC) under a single, unified system.

This gives you a more predictable, stable & consistent experience in various track environments.

New Adaptive Damping system
Adjusts to driver & road inputs in real time to optimize ride & handling, while also improving ride comfort.

Controlled via in-house software, which means it keeps improving via future over-the-air software updates.

More aerodynamic exterior design
5% reduced drag, 36% lift reduction & 55% improvement in front-to-rear lift balance compared to previous Model 3 Performance.

New Sports Seats
Same functionality & comfort as before, but with much better lateral support for cornering & dynamic driving

Road to Cybertruck | Baja

[Wes @wmorrill3]

We've been sharpening the pencil for Off-Road controls and that will come to the fleet in an OTA update. The Trimotor (video hero) is like off-roading in easy mode. The two dual-motor Baja trucks at the end also made it up. And it's doable without lockers, though takes more skill

More affordable than you think

World’s bestselling SUV is $1k off this month

Prices will go up again in March

After a week, I am very very impressed with the new Tesla Model 3 refresh. Tons of small updates and refinements add up to the easiest to recommend electric car in the world right now.
