The times for the Tesla M3 performance are out of date.
There has since been two power upgrades since the Motor Trend Test for a total of nearly 50 extra HP.
Many people are now getting 1/4 mile times in the low 11.4's and trap speed of 118 to 119 mph (see Dragtimes if you don't believe me), with the fastest of under 11.31. Also 1/8 mile times are in the 7.4 range too with trap at about 98 mph. From personal experience I know that my M3P is quite a bit quicker than it was when I purchased it in 2018.
