Overview

• Tesla’s Europe & Middle East X account posted a short “spoiler alert” video with an August 29 date, hinting at a Friday product announcement.
• Reporters widely interpret the clip as signaling the return of a Model Y Performance variant that was paused when the refreshed Juniper lineup launched in January.
• Recent Nürburgring test mules linked to the Performance trim showed a carbon-fiber rear spoiler, 21-inch wheels, larger brakes, bucket seats, and adaptive dampers.
• Tesla has not released specifications, and analysts expect the setup to mirror the Model 3 Performance with uprated chassis parts and track-focused software.
• The regional post suggests Europe or the Middle East could see the debut first, while some note Tesla could unveil a lower-cost model instead, though that is viewed as unlikely.
