Just adding more data:
The 2017 Volt (Opel Ampera-e) has a top speed of about 160 km/h / 100 mph for 35k EUR, $33k USD
Pretty sure the Model 3 can acheive this, if not be faster, since this is just the norm and not 'fast'.

- cmrdporcupine 9y agoSame here, I do bursts of 120-130kmh highway driving every day and occasionally go higher. But I usually switch into Hold mode (turns on the combustion engine) so I don't waste too much battery. To be honest, the extra torque of an electric engine makes slow speeds seem faster. When I was in my diesel VW I found myself at 140-150km/h quite often by accident. In the Volt I'm comfortable going slower because it "feels" faster somehow.
- BoorishBears 9y agoMy 2017 is speed limited to 101 mph. It gets to that speed pretty uneventfully, but I've heard the low rolling resistance tires are only rated for 100 mph so GM limited it to 100. I'm curious if a dealer could remove the limit if you changed the tires, but I don't think anyone has bothered
