Long range Dual motor with Performance pack AWD
What the Long range Dual motor with Performance pack adds over the Long range Single motor (+$11,900)
The $11,900 premium buys a second motor, raising output from 299 hp to 517 hp and torque from 361 to 671 lb-ft, with a 0-60 time of 4.5 seconds. Passive dampers are replaced by dual-chamber active air suspension with multiple settings. Wheels grow from 20-inch alloy to 22-inch forged alloy. Brembo brakes, torque vectoring, and Pirelli P Zero tires are also included.
Pick the Long range Single motor if: You want lower cost and lighter weight and do not need high output. · Pick the Long range Dual motor with Performance pack if: You want more power, active suspension, and performance-focused hardware.
