The Long Range launched in 2012 and the Performance launched in 2017.
But which one is right for you?
However, there are a few key differences.

The Long Range has self-presenting door handles, as you’ll be familiar with from most other cars.
This initially confuses those who are unfamiliar with Teslas.
The Performance comes with a carbon fiber spoiler.

However, that year the Long Range’s interior was redesigned with heavy inspiration from the Model 3 Performance.
In terms of steering, the Long Range has an airplane-style yoke instead of a conventional round steering wheel.
However, if you don’t like it,Tesla offers a standard steering wheel.

No matter which steering option you choose, you wont have indicator or wiper stalks.
The Performance, on the other hand, comes with a conventional wheel and traditional stalks.
It also has good braking performance, which is not something the Long Range boasts.
The two vehicles also differ in terms of performance-oriented software features.
The Long Range does have Drag Strip Mode, though, which is useful for acceleration runs.
Even the Model 3 Performance, the most potent version of Teslas entry-level sedan, starts at $53,990.

This massive discount makes the Performance even more attractive for those who want a smaller, sportier electric sedan.
However, the Performance is a vehicle you shouldn’t disregard, especially since it’s considerably more affordable.
Plus, many car enthusiasts herald it as being the most fun Tesla.

It mostly depends on what you value in your car apart from performance and what your budget allows.
