Tesla Launches Refreshed Model Y Performance in U.S. at $57,490

The late-day debut lets buyers who placed binding orders before the deadline claim the $7,500 federal credit.

Overview

  • Tesla lists an EPA-estimated 308 miles of range and a 0–60 mph time of 3.3 seconds for the updated Performance trim.
  • The model adds adaptive damping, redesigned front and rear fascias, a carbon fiber spoiler, and staggered 21-inch Arachnid wheels.
  • Interior changes include heated and ventilated front sport seats, heated rear seats with power recline, added bolstering with powered thigh extenders, acoustic glass, and a 16-inch touchscreen.
  • Tesla says the Performance variant uses higher-density battery cells that enable greater charge capacity and faster charging.
  • U.S. orders opened following an earlier European launch, and a Tesla vice president said customers can choose to arrange financing closer to delivery.
