Model X . Otherwise, the cabin is the same as any other Model 3, with its super clean, button-and-knob-free design, and everything controlled via the 15-inch central touchscreen. The three options for steering weight are the same, though Performance models add a "Sport" acceleration mode. Roadshow Editor-in-Chief Tim Stevens criticized the Model 3's touchscreen for having so many features buried within menus and submenus, but thankfully functions like Autopilot following distance and cruise control speed can now be adjusted with the right scroll knob on the steering wheel. Performance shoppers will have to make very little in the way of sacrifices compared to other Model 3s. The frunk is the same size as it is on the rear-drive car -- big enough to accommodate a carry-on suitcase, with convenient grocery bag hooks -- for 15 cubic feet of total cargo space between the front and rear compartments. Overall range is also estimated to be the same 310 miles you get in the single-motor Long Range car.

The Model 3 Performance starts at $64,000, and the one you see here is a lofty $81,000, including the $5,000 Performance Upgrade pack, $5,000 enhanced Autopilot semi-autonomous system and more. The Performance trim is a $11,000 upcharge over the $53,000 all-wheel-drive Dual Motor Long Range model, which itself is a $4,000 increase over the $49,000 rear-wheel-drive Long Range sedan. As of this writing, Tesla estimates a one- to three-month wait time for Model 3 Performance orders, compared to two to four months for the Long Range Dual Motor option. And remember, you can't get into a Model 3 for less than $49,000 right now -- the "Standard Battery" car is still said to be some six to nine months out, and cannot be configured on Tesla's website. When Tesla drops off a Model 3 Performance for an extended test, we'll be able to give more thorough notes about how it feels on winding canyon roads, or perhaps on a track. But based on these early impressions, the Performance seems to be exactly what we expected all along: an experience not dissimilar from the standard Model 3, just a heck of a lot quicker. Your guide
