Hi,
apologies if this has been clearly described already somewhere else, though I can't find it, and I'm about to buy my Model 3, and debating if I want the performance, or AWD LR version. I'm living in Europe, so those are the only two options to get right now. Would like to have the extra performance.
I've calculated the cost difference, and am eager to take the performance, just am worried about the hit it will take on range. What I understand it will be around a 15% hit. I drive a lot during weekdays for work, and regularly take road trips. Hence, range is key for me. Might be tempted to buy a RWD just for the range, but that is alas not possible.
When I was looking at Tesla Range Table - Teslike.com it seems that the only difference between the performance & AWD LR range is due to the fact of larger wheels. And I saw somewhere in a thread (which I can't find anymore) that the performance even scored a lower Wh/KM or Wh/Miles than the AWD LR if put on 18" wheels.
Hence, my question: Would the Performance version score the same or even higher if you put it on 18" wheels? And if so (apologies for the second question in one thread), are there any recommendations on what kind of wheels given the standard 18" aero wheels don't seem to fit(?).
Thanks in advance!
