Overview

• Tesla’s Europe & Middle East X account posted a “Spoiler alert” teaser with an August 29 date, signaling a product announcement on Friday.
• Multiple outlets report the teaser likely points to the reintroduction of the Model Y Performance, which has been absent since the January refresh.
• Recent Nürburgring sightings showed a camouflaged Model Y with a carbon-fiber spoiler, 21-inch wheels, upgraded brakes, bucket seats, and reportedly adaptive dampers.
• Because the teaser came from a regional account, analysts say the debut may start in Europe and the Middle East before other markets, consistent with Tesla’s staggered rollouts.
• Official specifications are unconfirmed, though expectations based on the Model 3 Performance include a higher-output dual-motor setup, performance chassis tuning, Track Mode features, and potentially lower range than Long Range AWD.
