Start for freeExciting News for Tesla Enthusiasts in Europe
The European car market is about to get a significant boost with the introduction of the Tesla Model 3 Ludicrous edition. Before Tesla officially released this vehicle in Europe, details and specifications have already surfaced, indicating that the launch is imminent. The anticipation is high, and for a good reason. The Model 3 Ludicrous is not just an upgrade; it's a statement of performance, design, and affordability.
A Closer Look at the Specifications
The Tesla Model 3 Ludicrous edition brings forth an impressive array of specifications that promise to elevate the driving experience. Weighing in at 1,854 kg, which is comparable to a Mercedes C-Class internal combustion vehicle, it showcases Tesla's commitment to efficiency and performance. The vehicle is powered by LG's 5L NMC (nickel manganese cobalt) battery pack, offering a 79 KW capacity and a power limit of 415 KW. This is particularly interesting as it highlights the battery's capability to sustain power under strain.
The motor configuration is enhanced, featuring codenames 3D3A and 4D2A, delivering a total power of 461 KW, approximately equivalent to 700 horsepower. This level of power places the Model 3 Ludicrous in the supercar domain, yet it remains relatively affordable.
Range and Speed
The range is a crucial factor for electric vehicles, and the Model 3 Ludicrous does not disappoint, offering a WLTP range of 528 km on a single charge. Its maximum speed is capped at 261 km/h, ensuring exhilarating performance. Tesla's decision to offer standard Pirelli P0 tires with an option between 20-inch and optional 19-inch tires is a thoughtful touch, providing flexibility to owners who prioritize range or aesthetics.
What Sets the Ludicrous Apart
The Ludicrous variant is slightly heavier than the Tesla Model 3 Performance due to its bigger, more powerful rear motor and wider rear tires. However, the additional weight is a small price to pay for the significant boost in horsepower and overall performance. With new suspension at the rear to handle the extra power and wider tires, the Ludicrous is set to offer a driving experience unlike any other Model 3 variant.
European Model vs. US Model
The differences between the European and US models of the Model 3 Ludicrous are worth noting. The US model utilizes Panasonic's 82 KW battery with NCA (nickel cobalt aluminum) chemistry, slightly increasing the power output to 435 KW. This results in a 20 kg weight increase for the US model but also an EPA range of 304 miles, showcasing the variances in battery technology and regulatory standards.
Performance and Expectations
Although the exact performance figures are yet to be officially released, leaks suggest a 0 to 60 mph acceleration time of 2.9 seconds, making it about 10% faster than the previous model. This improvement underscores Tesla's continuous effort to push the boundaries of electric vehicle performance.
Final Thoughts
The Tesla Model 3 Ludicrous edition is set to redefine expectations for electric vehicles in the European market. With its blend of performance, design, and affordability, it represents a significant leap forward. As Tesla continues to innovate and challenge the status quo, the Model 3 Ludicrous is a testament to the company's commitment to excellence and sustainability.
