I would say on real word streets a standard RWD Model 3 is faster than my M3.
The performance Model 3 Tesla version just dominates everything on the street. Despite the weight, the chassis is truly solid.
It is the "throttle response" more than anything else that sets it apart. The Model 3 can make a pass quicker than the DCT on the M3 can downshift and the turbos spin up and power applied.
It can just explosively accelerate at any point with no prep and with no drama.

The only reason I don't like it is the visual experience and the lack of caring from the dealership I went to in respect to the obvious body work issues on the car on their showroom floor.
If you're at 60mph and floor it, will it still blitz the M3 doing the same?
