Does the Tesla Model Y's performance suffer when the range decreases?

The Tesla Model Y Performance is priced lower than the Long Range model.

The Long Range version can reportedly travel around 330 miles on a single charge.

In addition, it takes the Model Y Long Range 4.6 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph.

when fitted with the Performance Upgrade Package, the Model Y Performance is estimated to achieve 60 miles per hour in 3.7 seconds.

However, the Model Y Performance's 280-mile range is cut in half by the Performance Upgrade Package.

As a result, the Long Range version is preferable because it provides a greater range without significantly reducing performance.
