Did Tesla Just Make Our Model 3 Faster?

Tesla sent an over-the-air update that claimed to improve the performance of Model 3s by approximately 5%. What does that mean? Carlos Lago took our long-term 2017 Tesla Model 3 to the Edmunds test track to find out. After testing, we discovered that this update improved the 0-60 mph acceleration by 0.3 second. That's impressive, especially considering this performance arrived without additional cost or a visit to a service department.

About the 2019 Tesla Model 3:

The Model 3 makes excellent use of its dimensions and feels roomier than many of its competitors. Its trunk is also massive, and the lack of an engine means there's a front trunk as well. Rounding out its strengths are tight steering, poised handling and instant acceleration that make it a thrill to drive. You also get Tesla's suite of advanced driving aids, which is one of the best in the business, especially at this price point.
