I am in the market for a new car since trade in values are little higher than usual and tesla offered me what I would consider fair for my '19 Camaro 2SS.
Today I test drove a model 3 long range because they didn't have a performance version at the store. I liked everything about that long range version. Ride, handling, features etc. But I wasn't really sold on it. Coming from a 455hp car with 0-60 4sec it just didn't feel any faster than my camaro. However this is all based off my butt dyno.
After coming back to store they let me test drive a Model Y performance version and long story short I can tell I am very sold on it. Also, I know that Model 3 performance will be even faster than Model Y performance.
So here is my question: is Model 3 performance actually worth it? There is like $10k difference ($48k vs $58k) between LR vs P. Do you guys think Performance is $10k better than Long Range?
I mean I would enjoy taking mustangs, challengers, chargers to gapplebess but trading off 40 miles range and paying that extra money make me think about it.
Also I was told performance version's real world mileage is less than advertised 315 miles. Is this correct? Could anyone give me their inputs about real world ranges on both performance and long range versions? This will be my daily driver in Ohio. So the car will definitely will see sub 32degress and snow.

Noah at Fast Wheels EV01(+) for Tesla Model 3 Wheels 18 has provided me great customer service throught the selection process.
I think you could get a counterproof on range if you asked what the range hit for M3LR drivers with 20" wheels are like, though Im inclined to believe the people above.
that said, to get to that range bogey in a M3P means stacking an addional 2-3K onto the price for new wheels and tires. Thats your money and your call, though I cant say Ive ever been sad buying a top trim model, but have been bummed when I didnt. YMMV
