I think the model 3 doesn't have much power reduction from a colder battery, the power demand is reasonably lower than max battery output power altough a warmer battery has less resistance, so it should perform slightly better when warm.For maximum acceleration, the following need to be met: high SOC, warm (enough) battery and sufficient traction. Cold ambient temps will limit the tire traction, especially the summer PS4S tires, and require that *the battery* be warmed up enough to be able to produce the power required. I do not know what minimum battery temperature is required but hotter is better.

Quick question...
Would extreme cold weather have any impact on the cars ability to hit max acceleration? Assume the battery is fully charged therefore a consistant SOC. Would the M3D still hit 4.3 0 to 60 in say 10F?
It won't be at max capacity, just as the cat has to be fully charged for best performance.
Think of it this way. How well can you perform at that temp?
I don't know. The dots show a battery input limit. To my knowledge, it doesn't "dot" on the right side to show a limit in power output. However, that may just mean that the software isn't limiting power. I understand that colder batteries cannot produce as much power due to lower voltage from increased internal resistance. The software may increase amperage to compensate for a cold battery to maintain the same power output.What's warm enough for the battery? If I have dots showing limited regen, would my power be limited too?
When I was trying 0-60 mph runs with a high state of charge it took a few times before the battery was truly warm enough for a 3.5 (3.3) second run.I'm wondering if the warm battery is what helps... Sometimes I notice a bit of an extra zip and I can't tell what it is... I keep my SOC pretty high most times. I think it's when I come off a charge and the battery has been warm.
Interesting... what was the delta from first cold run to final hot run?When I was trying 0-60 mph runs with a high state of charge it took a few times before the battery was truly warm enough for a 3.5 (3.3) second run.
I assume since those are VBox times that they do not include a 1' rollout?
No idea, no battery temp gauge in my model 3Interesting... what was the delta from first cold run to final hot run?
Good to know. I wonder what battery temperature triggers them.Dots will appear on the right at cold temperatures limiting battery output.
