Which Tesla has a better performance for its price?
By: Jacob S.
As many may know, Tesla’s are very fast and efficient electric cars, but now you will know the difference between the performance, designs, and most definitely, the price between the two. So the big question is: which one is better; the Tesla Model 3 or the Tesla Model Y?
Size and Color
The Tesla Model 3 is a sedan and can come in the colors: white, black, red, blue, and gray. The Model Y is a S.U.V. and can come in the same colors as the Model 3.
Different Designs
The Model 3 comes in three designs: Standard Range Plus, Long Range, and Performance. The Model Y only comes in two designs: Long Range and Performance.
Range, Top Speed, and 0–60 mph acceleration
The Long Range Model 3 has a range of 353 miles, while the Long Range Model Y has a range of 326 miles. The Performance Model 3 has a top speed of 162 miles per hour, whereas the Performance Model Y has a top speed of 155 miles per hour. In addition, the Performance Model 3 has a 3.1 second 0–60 mph acceleration, while the Performance Model Y has a 3.5 second 0–60 mph acceleration.
Price
Last, but definitely not least is the price comparison of both vehicles. The purchase price of the Long Range Model 3 is $46,990, and the purchase price of the Long Range Model Y is $49,990. The Performance Model 3 is $54,990 at its purchase price, while the Model Y Performance model is $59,990 at its purchase price.
The Conclusion
Both vehicles are very efficient and drive really well. The real question is: which one should you buy? In my opinion, I think the Model Y is the better option if you have the money. I say this because the Model Y is a better fit for more people. It’s a better fit for more people because the Model Y is not as much as a sports car as the Model 3. The Model 3 is more for people who want a really fast car with 3.1 second acceleration 0–60 mph. I mean who really needs to go that fast? The Model Y is still really fast and it has more room inside because it’s a S.U.V. All an all, they are both very efficient cars and are very fast, but at the end of the day the Model Y is the car I would choose.
