Stephen Rivers The gents over at the B is for Build have shed weight, body panels, and a whole bunch of safety equipment from their salvaged Tesla Model 3 Performance. All of it is in an effort to achieve maximum acceleration and there’s no question that they’re already a success story from that perspective. Their de-bodied Model 3 just did 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) a full second faster than the normal version. By normal version, we, of course, mean a Model 3 Performance including a body, a full interior, and all of its standard safety equipment. This car doesn’t have any of that stuff and as such it’s probably one of the lightest Model 3s in existence. The fact that the team there even has it running is somewhat surprising given the number of sensors that must be disconnected at this point. Regardless of how exactly the team accomplished this feat, it’s shocking simply due to the reduction in time. When they first tested this exact car it did 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds. Now, with the parts all gone it can do the same feat in 2.46 seconds. That almost perfectly splits the 3.1 seconds that Tesla claims in perfect conditions for the car.
