How does the Tesla Model Y Performance compare to the Long Range?

Is the Model Y Performance better than the Long Range, or is there a big difference between them? I don’t really understand why there are two different Model Ys available and I’m trying to figure out which one I want to buy.

Car models can be confusing sometimes! There are a few differences between the
Tesla Model Y
Performance and Long Range options, including:
  • Price. The Long Range starts at $58,990 while the Performance starts at $63,990
  • Range. As you might imagine, the Long Range has a larger range of 316 miles on a full charge, while the Performance has a range of 291 miles
  • Acceleration. The Performance can go from 0-60 in 3.5 seconds, while the Long Range takes 4.8 seconds
  • Comfort. The Long Range model is made for distance driving and is therefore much more comfortable than the Performance—with reduced cabin noise
