Tesla Launches Model Y Performance in Europe With 580‑Km Range and 3.5‑Second Sprint

Orders are open in Europe and the Middle East, with first deliveries due next month.

Overview

  • Tesla’s top Model Y trim returns as the Juniper-based Performance, on sale first across Europe, the Middle East and Africa from about €61,990 (£61,990).
  • The dual‑motor setup delivers roughly 460 hp, a 0–100 km/h time of 3.5 seconds and a 250 km/h top speed, with a WLTP range of about 580 km enabled by new high‑density battery cells.
  • Chassis changes include adaptive suspension with selectable drive modes, uprated brakes and revised suspension hardware for improved control.
  • Distinctive hardware features a carbon‑fibre rear spoiler, redesigned front and rear bumpers and 21‑inch Arachnid 2.0 wheels, while the cabin adds a 16‑inch UHD center screen, carbon‑fibre trim and heated/ventilated sport seats with thigh support.
  • Initial production is tied to Tesla’s Brandenburg factory near Berlin, and availability will expand to other markets such as Australia and the United States after the EMEA rollout.
