    I think the tires are a part of that too. I have an old V6 Camry with plenty of vroom, but apparently the tires I got are shit because if I floored it I’d be spinning the tires.

      Not the tires alone, but also the weight and 4 wheel drive. Model 3 weights some 2 metric tons, it adds a lot into traction

      Did Toyota make the v6 awd? That and several hundred pounds of batteries make huge differences in tire spin.

      Edit: never mind, I didn’t realize the model 3 was rwd or awd. You might be on to something with tires.
