Tesla Model 3 ‘Performance’ versus the standard Model 3

Tesla

Tesla’s Model 3 is an attractive option for anyone considering a new car.

It comes in seven beautiful colors, seats up to five people, and, of course, is environmentally friendly and fully electric, with the ability to get up to 310 miles on a single charge. That also means a quieter driving experience, and no more trips to the gas station. 

This month, though, Tesla released a high-performance version of the Model 3, called the “Model 3 Performance.”

Here are 9 reasons to consider the Model 3 Performance over the standard Model 3 from Tesla:

A Model 3 with all of the available upgrades, including the Performance upgrades, Autopilot, and a premium white interior, costs around $78,500 before tax incentives. The standard Model 3, on the other hand, costs $49,000 before incentives.

Whether or not those upgrades are worth the money is entirely up to you. But based on my colleague Matt DeBord’s experience with the Model 3 Performance, it sounds like it’s worth the steeper price. I highly recommend reading his review before making your purchase decision.
