Why?
I'll tell you why. Because the Model 3 Performance is Missing "Standard" Acceleration mode.
I did NOT like leaving the Performance 3 in Sport mode for daily driving. It was dangerously too fast (just to easy to accidentally abuse, for me or my wife). So I kept it in Chill Mode.
On the Model X, I leave it in Standard Mode which is quite a bit faster than Model 3 in Chill. But not insanely fast.
I notice the Performance Model X has 3 Levels (or was it 4), I forget. Chill, Standard, Sport and Ludicrous
But the Model 3 only has Chill and Sport. It goes from like 0-60 in 3 sec to 7 sec.
Model X does supposedly 0 - 60 in like 4.4s (just right for normal spirited driving, not the freak'n race track).
At this point, I'd prefer an AWD Non Performance 3 (or RWD) rather than a Performance 3 for daily driving. I would have enjoyed it more.
You can blame the driver all you want, but there is good reason Tesla does offer more than 2 levels of performance in there other performance cars. But for some reason they leave it out on the Model 3 Performance.
