Tesla Model 3: Technical Data
Motors
| Type, Rear | Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor, liquid-cooled |
| Nominal Voltage | 350 V |
| Maximum net power and engine speed of rear motor Note: Tested in accordance with ECE R85. |
Long Range - 202 kW |
| Maximum torque of rear motor | Long Range - 416 Nm |
Suspension
| Front | Independent. Upper wishbone with lower unequal length control arms. Co-axial coil spring/telescopic damper. Sway bar. |
| Ride height | See Wheel Alignment. |
| Rear | Independent. Dual upper arms and lower unequal length wishbone. Co-axial coil spring/telescopic damper. |
Wheel Alignment
Note: All specifications given in degrees. To convert from degrees to minutes and seconds, multiple the decimal after the whole number by 60. The whole number becomes the minute. Take the remaining decimal and multiply it by 60 to get the second. For example, 1.75º would be 1º and 45 min (.75*60). 0.17º would be 10 min and 12 seconds. (0.17*60=10.2; .2*60=12).
