Quarter Mile Shootout: Telsa Model 3 Long Range Vs Audi RS3, Who Is Your Money Riding On?

The dual-motor, all-wheel drive Tesla Model 3 is not as heavy as you might think, even though EVs tend to pack a good amount of weight due to their battery pack. However, it's still heavier than the Audi RS3 by about 500 pounds. It also cranks out more torque than the German sport sedan.

The Tesla Model 3 Long Range (AWD) delivers ~345 horsepower and ~389 pound-feet of torque (Tesla doesn't provide these figures, and online sources are conflicting). In comparison, Audi's RS3 offers 394 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque. In terms of pricing, you're looking at about a $6,000 advantage for the Tesla.

Another pro-Tesla post. All they ever compare is acceleration. If the scope of the comparison was broader Tesla loses every time.
What is the point of these commercials for Tesla, a dying enterprise.

Tesla loses every time? No, Tesla wins every time. Just check Top Gear or Motor Trend to name just two examples.

Please link to an article where Tesla loses a broad comparison. You won't because you can't, Truthy.

Is a simple drag race now support to determine the total worth of a vehicle now?
And yes, we all know that electric motors produce maximum torque at zero RPM. So does a steam engine.

The RS3 starts at $56,200 and can do 0-60 in 3.8 seconds.

The Model 3 AWD starts at $49,900 and can do 0-60 in 4.5 seconds.

Shouldn't be a big surprise that the RS3 won, they should have raced it with the Performance Model 3 which is the right benchmark.
