I test drove both back to back, this seems pretty legit, you can definitely feel the weight difference, but launch on awd felt faster and this video depicts that pretty well imo
I'm assuming the blue is AWD and white is RWD. This is the first RWD vs AWD video I've seen! Awesome to see, doesn't look like there's a huge difference like the RWD vs AWD-P but definitely noticeable! Thanks for posting this.
I would bet the AWD would be much better than even here if it had performance tires and lower springs. At least in terms of absolute performance anyway, given that all three vehicles have the base tires and wheels, so I'd imagine relatively they'd all perform the same with better tires. I've got an AWD on order (trying my best to wait patiently!), and plan on getting better tires for it. This is getting me even more excited! Question: what's the fastest acceleration time that you've heard or seen from the AWD so far?
Hopefully you got your Mo.3 AWD already, but with lighter wheel setup (255 square would be excellent or staggered 235fr - 265rr the rear DU doesn't put out too much initial torque, it's the front DU), stickier tires, and basic tuned dropped suspension I've seen 4.2 seconds 0-60mph w/o 1 ft rollout. With a full treatment of 2 piece rotors (they make a massive difference on non Perf. cars), you could easily hit 4.1 maybe 4.0 flat because you save 12lbs front rotors, 15lbs+ rear rotors of rotational mass. With a modded RWD, I hit 4.6 seconds 0-60mph w/o 1 ft rollout. PMo.3 would recommend 245fr-285r.
@@L3uX I hit 4.20 stock awd with the 18" aeros since the 5% update. I look forward to trying to shave off some additional weight and try to get under 4 seconds.
Somnium Sky Niceee. Are you using Dragy for times? If you’re serious and want to get lower times, it’ll be a little costly but worth it for a variety of reasons. First are the 2 piece brake rotors from Mountain Pass Performance. They’re amazing and will massively help braking plus shave off around 7lbs front (total) and 8lbs rear of rotational weight. Only issue is that you need 19” wheels. For wheels I went with Ace Alloy. They have amazing flow formed wheels that can be customized to specific Tesla specs, are load rated more than enough, price is very good, and are light. If you aren’t going after full track setup and want a good blend of practicality while still having the option for future more aggro tire changes 19x9.0~ all around is probably going to be good. That will allow you to run 245-255 all around for everyday with max 265 tires all around if you ever want to go track or w/e. I’m running 19x8.5 / 19x10” so weight wise I can guess that you’ll be about even. Ace Alloy wheels are around 19lbs @ 19x8.5”. Reason is from 18” your rim is super light, hard to beat unless you go with way more expensive sub- 15-18lbs forged wheels. But pretty much you’re gaining way more traction (with better tires too) for no weight gain. The 18” mxm4/primacy stock tires aren’t the best. If you did both those things, you should do 4.1~, maybe 4.0” on a good day. But more so, handling, braking, etc will be improved without losing practicality.
so the awd is a bit quicker and has a bigger battery, but the hefty price tag is a no no. I got the RWD long range that does not drive itself but has a real world range of 574 km/356 miles with a pricetag of 40k in portugal
jrherita awd vs P both have 18 inch tires. The p is 0.74 faster. At around 40-50mph, the awd starts catching up head to head. Put 20 inch tires on the awd and it will be up there with the p
I am surprised they are not faster than this. I was under the impression no gas car could run one down. That is not the case. I have two gas cars that are quicker than this.
pretty much what we all knew. AWD is faster during initial acceleration, largely because the RWD is held back via software and waiting to be uncorked... or not...
im sure it was but i am also sure the RWD is being held back and in reality the difference between the speeds at such "low" torque should be less than 0.1-0.3 seconds.

Awesome vids! 13.6 vs 12.67 is awesome! I cant wait for my 3D!

Correct, the white one is RWD.
I think you mean RWD vs. Long Range AWD (not performance)
@@Zeldaturtles I was referring to the other video he had posted already.
Awd have 2 motors and rwd have one. Awd ~400 hp vs rwd ~280 hp. So this comparison is legit.
@@alekosalekadis6095 yeah i know the hp difference but why is the race kinda close for that huge difference so weird to me
Loved the reactions 🤣

I haven't seen any other times yet, but this one did a best of 12.666@111.39

So Which one model 3 ??
Wow - I was expecting a larger separation for a half second 0-60 time. Did the drivers vbox their 0-60 times?
Ryan Gardella The performance model which is an entire second faster doing 0-60 is less than a second quicker in the quarter mile (11.785)
so the awd is a bit quicker and has a bigger battery, but the hefty price tag is a no no. I got the RWD long range that does not drive itself but has a real world range of 574 km/356 miles with a pricetag of 40k in portugal
Speed of light
My AWD does 12.37 in the 1/4 now after the 5% power increase update.
Somnium Sky Nice!
I only picked up 0.09 seconds in the Performance model. :(
Somnium Sky
You have the dual motor awd non performance?
Did the RWD get that update 2 years ago as well? I saw it on a Reddit list saying all LR’s got it but not sure if mine did
The driver in the RWD weighed in at 350 LBS and the driver of the AWD was 125lbs. :-D :-P
Auburn Alum that would make the contest ridiculously imbalanced :D Good one, though,,,!
Is this the AWD or AWD-P (Performance) ? They are two different cars you know..
AWD. I have a P and mine is noticeably quicker, especially off the line.
What speed would you say the battery starts limiting the P? trap speeds for p-AWD vs AWD are only like 4 mph different...
jrherita awd vs P both have 18 inch tires. The p is 0.74 faster. At around 40-50mph, the awd starts catching up head to head. Put 20 inch tires on the awd and it will be up there with the p
The tittle of the video is very clear "RWD vs AWD", and still you ask if this is AWD vs AWD? WTF with you?
12.6s vs 13.6s and 110mph vs 102mph is very significant.
I am surprised they are not faster than this. I was under the impression no gas car could run one down. That is not the case. I have two gas cars that are quicker than this.
Is your gas car a c6 corvette? Then ye of course
Also that was a poor run by the rwd. They can do 13.1
@@sheepyracing2774 Nope neither one are corvettes. Both are 12 second cars.
@@debi5292 but a model 3 performance does 11.7 seconds and just about every model S runs under 12seconds , also the plaid models does 9.2
pretty much what we all knew. AWD is faster during initial acceleration, largely because the RWD is held back via software and waiting to be uncorked... or not...
The AWD was also +10MPH at the end, so it made up time all the way down the track. 10 MPH is a very notable difference in pull.
im sure it was but i am also sure the RWD is being held back and in reality the difference between the speeds at such "low" torque should be less than 0.1-0.3 seconds.
this is fake. the awd is much faster
