Why is range less on a Performance model?

Straight from the parts catalog.

I don't know how accurate it is, but my understanding was the performance AWD had the rear drive unit from the RWD plus a front drive unit, while the LR had two similar power drive units (although packaged different front and rear).

Of course, parts catalog also shows the newer front drive unit used in the raven refresh.

The front drive unit in all Raven X's is the same, IIRC. it's the RWD motor from the Model 3.

The difference is the Rear drive unit. The performance one is obviously a different part number than the LR+ RDU.
