Tesla Model 3 high-performance variant
The front and rear of this white test car are covered with camouflage and equipped with 19-inch tires. Interestingly, the car’s chassis number (VIN) is “LRW3E7ET8PCR00287”, and its 11th letter is “C”, indicating that it may not have come from Tesla’s factory in Fremont, California, but from Shanghai Supermarket in China. factory. Model 3 vehicles produced at Tesla’s Fremont plant usually have the letter “F” in the 11th digit of their chassis numbers.
The carbon fiber dashboard and sports bucket seats are obviously different from the regular version of Model 3. These two configurations also imply that the upgraded Model 3 Performance will pay more attention to performance.
As Tesla’s performance car that combines fun and cost-effectiveness, Model 3 Performance has always attracted much attention. Compared with Model S Plaid, Model 3 has a lighter body and more flexible handling; at the same time, its acceleration performance is better than that of the larger Model Y Performance.
