# Test Drive Results 2021 Tesla Model 3 Dual Motor Electric Car Performance - Link: https://greenlivingguy.com/2021/10/test-drive-results-2021-tesla-model-3-dual-motor-electric-car-performance/ - Published: 2021-10-10T04:21:58-04:00 - Author: greenlivingguy [⌊Test drive results 2021 tesla model 3 dual motor electric car performance⌉⌊Test drive results 2021 tesla model 3 dual motor electric car performance⌉[ Simply put, the [Tesla](https://greenlivingguy.com/2017/04/test-drive-results-tesla-model-s-dual-motors/) Model 3 2021 electric car is great. 315 miles all-electric and dual motor. Starting at $39k. So let’s go. Yet the version I drove was starting at 56,990. According to Tesla: The MSRP starts at $39,990! The [car](https://greenlivingguy.com/2021/07/4-sustainable-ways-to-get-rid-of-old-cars/) can get up to 150 city / 133 highways. All with a range of 250 to 353 miles [all-electric](https://greenlivingguy.com/2021/08/xpeng-g3-ranks-top-quality-among-compact-battery-powered-electric-vehicles-in-j-d-power-2021-study/)! As this was the Performance folks. It has a range of 315 miles. But it’s so strong you can beat anything easily on the road. A friend said it’s like a toy rocket. [⌊Test drive results 2021 tesla model 3 dual motor electric car performance⌉⌊Test drive results 2021 tesla model 3 dual motor electric car performance⌉[ Furthermore, we know from test after test this is the most important part of the overall [Model 3 design](https://greenlivingguy.com/2024/06/tesla-model-3-2024-a-revolution-in-electric-vehicle-design/). Because the metal structure is a combination of aluminum and steel. For this maximum strength is then created in every area. ![Test drive results 2021 tesla model 3 dual motor electric car performance](https:// i0.wp.com/greenlivingguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/image-2-1-150x150.jpg?resize =150%2C150&ssl=1 "Test Drive Results 2021 Tesla Model 3 Dual Motor Electric Car Performance - The Green Living Guy") Because in a roof-crush test, Model 3 resisted four times its own mass. That’s even with an all-glass roof. I mean and [Tesla](https://www.tesla.com/model3) said: that’s the same weight as two full-grown African elephants. ## Speed**.** No **Question**! So this Model 3 came with the dual motor all-wheel drive. For that’s 20” Überturbine Wheels and Performance Brakes and lowered suspension for total control. Now forget today was beautiful. This puppy pushes muster even in all weather conditions. And a carbon fiber spoiler improves stability at high speeds. Now this is allowing Model 3 to accelerate from 0-60 mph*. So I mean in as little as 3.1 seconds. What the???  ## Tesla All-Wheel Drive ![Test drive results 2021 tesla model 3 dual motor electric car performance](https:// i0.wp.com/greenlivingguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/image-1-1.jpg?resize=236% 2C92&quality=52&ssl=1 "Test Drive Results 2021 Tesla Model 3 Dual Motor Electric Car Performance - The Green Living Guy") This specific version had two independent motors for improved redundancy. So each with only one moving part. All for minimal maintenance and maximum durability. Unlike traditional all-wheel drive systems, they digitally control torque to the front and rear wheel. This is for far better handling and traction control. However I definitely noticed the difference in shocks on a Model 3 versus a Model S or X. So be advised. Nothing wrong but just expect to ride like a 3 series car with the tech, speed, handling and overall wild vibe. It’s truly like no other. ## This autopilot was not tested however!! [⌊Test drive results 2021 tesla model 3 dual motor electric car performance⌉⌊Test drive results 2021 tesla model 3 dual motor electric car performance⌉[ Autopilot’s advanced safety and convenience features are designed to assist you with the most burdensome parts of driving. So it flashed many times in slower roads a 360 signal like satellite but I knew that wasn’t it. For it included full autopilot. I will have to go back and try to update post.  ## Interior ![Test drive results 2021 tesla model 3 dual motor electric car performance](https:// i0.wp.com/greenlivingguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/img_6137-150x150.jpg?resize =150%2C150&ssl=1 "Test Drive Results 2021 Tesla Model 3 Dual Motor Electric Car Performance - The Green Living Guy") [⌊Test drive results 2021 tesla model 3 dual motor electric car performance⌉⌊Test drive results 2021 tesla model 3 dual motor electric car performance⌉[ So the inside of a Tesla [Model 3](https://www.motherearthnews.com/sustainable-living/green-transportation/test-drive-results-2021-tesla-model-3-zbcz2202/) 2021 is unlike any other car. You can use your smartphone as a key. I asked them four times I couldn’t conceptualize it. Wild!! For access all driver controls in the central 15-inch touchscreen. Because that OG all-glass roof extends from front to back. A SPLIT in middle but seriously creating a sense of openness from every seat. ![Test drive results 2021 tesla model 3 dual motor electric car performance](https:// i0.wp.com/greenlivingguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/img_6136-150x150.jpg?resize =150%2C150&ssl=1 "Test Drive Results 2021 Tesla Model 3 Dual Motor Electric Car Performance - The Green Living Guy") ![Test drive results 2021 tesla model 3 dual motor electric car performance](https:// i0.wp.com/greenlivingguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/img_6143-150x150.jpg?resize =150%2C150&ssl=1 "Test Drive Results 2021 Tesla Model 3 Dual Motor Electric Car Performance - The Green Living Guy") ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/df91669667126e1290c21ee0342c386e2da19d588d4d9ca6560bd82ed59a9641? s=300&d=monsterid&r=g) greenlivingguy The Green Living Guy, Seth Leitman is an independent power producer, a green living expert, and Editor of the McGraw-Hill, TAB Green Guru Guides.
