Model 3 Performance ‘21 vs Model Y Long Range’22, which would you chose?

[MYKilowatts]

Hello, first post here. Looking forward to learn plenty.

So, I have a Model 3 Performance ‘21 white and have recently purchased a Model Y LR for my wife. Long story short, my wife has another car and now I have to chose which one to keep between the 2. Every day I find out something new that changes my mind and I find it very difficult to make up my mind.

Here are some points that made this decision very difficult for me and thank you for your help.

1. Model 3 is Performance and is an absolute blast. Track is not really an option for me, or at least not more than a couple of laps because there are no DC chargers or a decent service center anywhere near me. So any issues I get from pushing the car would need to pay around 700$ to roundtrip the card from Kuwait to Dubai where the closest service center is.
2. Model Y has the better color combination in my opinion.
3. Model Y is 22 so has the AMD Ryzen chip vs Intel on the 3.
4. Model Y is bigger on the inside.

I know I only found one point for the 3 but that has a LOT of weight for me. And I do like to the lower seating Profile.

Thank you,

Sorry duplicate post, wrong section. Please delete.

Ahh this is one of the tough ones. If you don’t need the space of the MY, I don’t see a reason you would keep it in this scenario.

Get rid of the other car?

I have both in my garage right now, or pretty close anyway: 20 M3P, 21 MY LR.

Thank you,

Compare selling price on Carvana and Driveway right now, then tell us what you find and pick.

Edit: Nevermind this suggestion, you are overseas...

Is that price with FSD? I would assume it'd have to be that's high!

No FSD.
It was a glitch in Carvana's system - they retracted many of these offers few days later.

If you need the space or think you will (model 3 trunk entrance is too small for us) then the Y is the obvious choice.
Other than that, being a 22 with Ryzen, the better color combo (to you) and personally that would be my choice.
I get the attraction of the 3 being a performance model but if you’re not tracking it then get the Y and the acceleration boost and enjoy. That’s basically what I have and it’s a rocket and was stuck to the trunk of a new Toyota Supra through Big Sur yesterday so handling is fine too.
(Brakes are poor though when you really need them when slowing down from high speed as I was after overtaking but so are the performance models I’ve heard).
