Tesla enthusiasts have something to look forward to as the automaker is bringing its lightning-quick Performance trim to the new Model Y. This news comes after much speculation and anticipation, as Tesla had not released any details about the Performance option prior to this announcement.
The newly designed Model Y was first launched in the United States in late January, with orders opening in America after being available in other parts of the world. However, the initial offering of the new Model Y in the United States did not include the Performance option. The “Launch Edition” of the Model Y offered a powerful option but not as much as the traditional Performance trim that Tesla is known for.
Now, it has been confirmed that Tesla is planning to release the new Model Y with a Performance configuration later this year. Company executives Lars Moravy and Franz von Holzhausen made the announcement, exciting Tesla fans who have been eagerly awaiting this news.
The Performance trims of Tesla vehicles are known for their speed, acceleration, and overall performance. They are often the most anticipated trim level in the company’s lineup, alongside the trim that offers the most range. The speculation surrounding the Performance configuration of the new Model Y has been heavy since the vehicle was first spotted on public roads several months ago. Recent sightings of camouflaged vehicles suggest that Tesla has been testing the Performance level of the new Model Y.
While Moravy did not provide a specific release date for the new Model Y Performance, he did mention that other trims and options will be available later this year. This includes the highly-requested seven-seat interior layout, which is great news for families with children.
Tesla continues to innovate and push the boundaries of electric vehicle technology, and the addition of the Performance trim to the new Model Y is sure to excite both current Tesla owners and potential buyers. Stay tuned for more updates on the release of the new Model Y Performance and other exciting developments from Tesla.
