Soon to order a Model 3 after a test drive (in a performance). As I want a towbar for pushbikes I will go for long range model.

I read that you can get a £2000 performance upgrade which I’d like to do but Tesla Southampton can’t give me a definitive answer as to the availability. Anyone know for sure?

This 100%. I lease a performance version and as lovely as it is.......I think I would have been happier with the LR.

Why did I choose the performance? I had no choice - my employer had a list of EVs and there was no other Tesla model or sub-model on that list. M3P or nothing.

The LR will still give you more performance than you can use on the public roads, you still get the premium interior and an additional 20 to 30 miles of real-world range. Doesn't sound like much but it can make the difference between stopping at one more supercharger or continuing and charging at your destination.

You also get the more sensible sized wheels and tyres. I have ridiculously sized 20" matt black/grey wazzock wheels. They do ride quality and noise levels no favours, at all.

I do like my car but I think the LR is a better car on every way except kerbside appeal.

Why not live with the standard LR first then update if you really need the boost later? I would.
Nah, I saved £1000 on getting blue instead of red so I'll splash it on some dash smile
