That would have added $26,500 to the cost of your car. Too much IMHO.

However, at $5K, the AWD option would have been nice. It cuts over half a second off the 0-60 time, and should make the Model 3 more equipped to hold its own in a comparison against the likes of the Mercedes-AMG C43 sedan, Audi S4, or the upcoming BMW M340i.
I agree, the performance gain from awd is easily worth that option.

However the performance version needs more than a 3.5 sec 0-60 to be worth it.

It still makes due with the same suspension and no word on if it has an LSD or if the traction control can mimic a virtual LSD.

That being said the performance of the long range is still pretty exhilarating.

One thing that has me irked is that the CF spoiler can only be obtained if you have the performance model. And there's no other vendors making a similar replica.

If I can get a similar CF spoiler + proper coilovers id be happy.
