Hi all,

I was reading the other day something about being able to pay for an upgrade on a Model 3 that gives you faster acceleration, without needing to buy the full performance model.

Is this right or have I just imagined this whole thing...? laugh And if so, what then are the differences between the long range model with a performance upgrade and the performance model itself?

Currently I'm hoping the maths on a business purchased Model Y will make sense for my business. The only reason I can think of to buy a Performance model would be to occasionally enjoy the thrill of an off the line dash, Im not ever going to track the car nor do I care much for wringing out extra performance round corners. So seems like a long range model with a performance upgrade purchase could be the way to go.

very good value, especially if you dont want the big rims, upgraded suspension and brakes, upgrading cooling or track mode
Thanks gang. Appreciate all the replies.

Although I am still trying to work out if you're being a bit sarcastic Dave...? smilelaugh

If the Y long range comes in as sub 50k list... then keeping the 3k grant would definitely be a bonus.

I've got a fireblade for the track, so it really is just the off the line dash I'm interested in. Anything around 4.0 secs 0-60 would be more than enough for me to put a smile on my face when I feel like the journey requires it.

I doubt that the 3 is £49,990, the Y is $4000 more than a 3
That's a fair point that I hadnt considered...
Just very wishful thinking on my part.
