Can you show me a similarity priced EV that goes from 0-60 in like three seconds? I’ve been in other EVs and they all have great instant torque, but none of them had that kind of acceleration.
Depends how similar the pricing should be.
The MG4 Xpower and the Smart #1 AMG are lower price but have slightly lower acceleration (high 3s, low 4s). Chinese made and the build quality and software are not great and sometimes gimmicky.
The BYD seal has a performance model for a similar price, but it's somewhat slower (still high 3s). Super gimmicky software, bit buggy still. And soon to be hit with tariffs in many markets.
The BMW i4 M50 is the closest match in performance and size, but costs 20 to 30% more. Better quality and suspension tho.
For raw performance, the Kia6 GT and Hyundai ionic 5 N are slightly faster, also cost around 20% more, but have more room inside. Similar build quality, but the software sucks.
For significantly more performance you have to go to a Porsche Taycan Turbo or Turbo S, costing between 3 and 4 times more.
Thank you for the detailed breakdown! I knew the other poster wouldn’t provide. I don’t wanna defend any muskrat shit but for the price, the model 3’s performance really is the most insane when it comes to 0-60. I couldn’t believe how it felt. I know instant torque is a feature of every electric car, but a ~3s 0-60 is bonkers.
Once it's under 6 seconds who cares? I personally don't even want all the old people in Model 3s going 0-60 in 3 seconds.
Who cares? Apparently OP cares, hence they asked the question.
A car with 3s 0-100 accelerates TWICE as fast as one that does 6s. I say a 100% difference is quite noticeable.
