Tesla's Model Y Performance is now available for purchase in Europe
The electric vehicle (EV) landscape is about to change with Tesla's release of the Model Y Performance in Europe, starting from September. This high-performance variant of the popular Model Y SUV comes with a host of new features and improved performance, aiming to boost Tesla's sales in the region.
Priced at €62k (approximately $73k) in Germany, the Model Y Performance offers a range of 580km (360mi) on the WLTP cycle. The vehicle is equipped with a larger front touchscreen (16 inches) boasting higher resolution, allowing for an enhanced in-car experience.
One of the standout features of the Model Y Performance is the "Stability Assist Mode," a new addition designed to enhance safety and control. This mode, along with updated suspension featuring electronic dampers, promises a smoother and more stable ride.
The performance-oriented Model Y also boasts a powerful 460 horsepower, reducing the 0-100km/h (0-62mph) time to a swift 3.5 seconds, an improvement from 4.8 seconds. The vehicle's impressive acceleration is complemented by its rapid charging capabilities, with the ability to add 243km (151mi) of range in just 15 minutes.
To cater to the European market, the Model Y Performance comes equipped with 21' "Arachnid 2.0" wheels and redesigned front and rear bumpers. The vehicle's interior is also equipped with adjustable thigh extensions for the front seats, ensuring comfort for all passengers.
Tesla's decision to release the Model Y Performance in Europe comes amidst a decline in sales in the region, largely attributed to recent events. However, industry experts suggest that this new model could be the bump Tesla needs to turn around the quarter, as it will be available before the end of September.
The Model Y Performance is set to target major European markets such as Germany, the UK, and wider Western and Central Europe. Deliveries have already been scheduled in Germany, with availability announced across Europe and the Middle East starting September 2025.
Despite the positive news, Tesla continues to face challenges. The federal tax credits for electric vehicles in the US are ending soon, and the brand's CEO, Elon Musk, has been criticised for making it more difficult for Tesla to conduct business. However, with the release of the Model Y Performance, Tesla is demonstrating its commitment to innovation and growth in the European market.
