Tesla does not declare officially torque
and power of its models
So how many horse power and newton metre
Do these cars have?

Yes, on the rolling road we have put
Our reference electric car
The Tesla Model 3 Standard Plus
The most efficient of the available versions
Of this model but we were also curious
to know how the most powerful model
the Model 3 Performance,
also protagonist of our drag race
would performance in this test
Not everybody  knows where
To find the maximum power on the
vehicle registration certificate or
just car papers as we usually call it,
it’s a number expressed in kilowatt (kW) to be
converted in horsepower (bhp), a more familiar
unit of measure when we talk about power
but also because not every manufacturer declares it
for electric cars, like Tesla.
So why on car papers
the kW for the standard are less
Than the maximum values
of the actual performance?
The fact is that the performances
do not depend only on the electric engine,
But also on the battery
That isn’t just an energy tank
like in traditional fuel engine cars
in fact these ones
can function on maximum power for long time if properly cooled down
because the flow of the fuel
doesn’t affect
the performance
different from an electric engine
in which the maximum power does not correspond
to the standard reference because
the electricity, flowing from the battery to the engine
would heat it up and
wouldn’t be possible
get rid of all of it
without damaging the cells
So now, we understand better
why the Italian legislation
ECE R85 Standard Regulation defines
the maximum net power, not the highest possible
but that one that, I quote,
“ a power train group, can supply
for an average of 30 minutes”
it has exactly the same increase
it has a more constant extension and then decreases
Also in different tests
full speed is 14,300 RPM more or less
identical dissipation – same dissipation
but the red torque goes like that – identical
you see, it has done 31 kg
310 Nm of torque first
maybe the with two
All-wheel drive engines is more affected by the batteries
Changes between tests
probably
Definitely the other one has more absorption
Than the this one because has almost double of power
max torque starts at about 4,700 RPM 
Than we check the details
Yes, look. What we can definitely say is that
Both go down to the same RPM
So let’s say the decrease of the torque
starts at about 6,000 RPM, so the differences are over 6,000 RPM
let’s print the file, so we can compare them
First of all, let's observe that the measurement
Begins over 2,500 RPM
Because with today’s rolling road
You can’t put an electric car on
And push on the pedal
Starting from stationary wheels
so the first torque data
can’t be displayed ,
and especially the rear-wheel drive
Model 3 Standard Plus
reaches the maximum of 310 Nm
at 4,950 RPM
while the maximum power is 192 kW, that is 261 hp
and 6,980 RPM but the electric engine RPM
are much higher,
close to 14,700 RPM
and as you can see from the graph,
the curve of the Standard Plus
increase rapidly
to reach its peak
and holding it flat
and slowly decreasing until the baseline,
it means that
what this version has to offer is spread
throughout the performance.
The two engines of the all-wheel drive
Model 3 Performance
give everything immediately and let go straight after
even if they have more juice,
in fact we’re talking about
a peak power of 347 Kw
so 472 hp and 6,550 RPM
with a maximum torque of 545 Nm
at 5,860 RPM
and in the red zone, let’s call it like that,
with 15,570 RPM.
From around 6,500 RPM
The torque band decreases
rapidly compared
To the Model Standard Plus but anyway
From 14,000 RPM on, the data still around 170 kW
230 hp stays stable
until 15,500 RPM.
On the last update of Tesla Over The Air
Rumour said that maximum power was over
500hp but this outcome depends also on
The fully charged battery
in order to supply the
Maximum power output
While during the test
our cars were
just below 80% charge
So, make sense that our numbers
are lower
Than the best achievable.
By now you would have ask yourself
About the Dyno test mode
that everybody is talking about
I’ll show you how turn it on.
Push the left direction indicator and
On the screen, push the Tesla icon,
next a keyboard will appear where you can digit
“Dyno test” code,
keep holding the left indicator
Release and
the rolling road mode will appear.
So, who tried to drive the Model 3 in Dyno test mode
Points out that this hasn’t been conceived
as a way to make the
of battery and
electric engine potentials
because, for example, on a bend
the exuberance of the torque and absence
of limited-slip differential
would make the driving wheels
skid constantly, with consequential poor driveability.
So if you have a Tesla don’t try to drive in this mode
Even because the power steering
wouldn’t work.
And with you, see you at the next test
With our electric car.
