2021 Tesla Model Y Performance

The Model Y is Tesla's compact electric SUV, slotting between the Model 3 sedan and the larger Model X in size and price. It competes with the Ford Mustang Mach-E, Volkswagen ID.4, and Hyundai Ioniq 5 in the growing electric crossover segment. The low center of gravity from the battery pack gives the Model Y responsive, car-like handling that belies its crossover shape. The cabin is minimalist and airy, with a large central touchscreen controlling nearly every function and a spacious rear seat. The Performance trim adds 21-inch Überturbine wheels, a lowered sport-tuned suspension, and a carbon-fiber spoiler over the Long Range. The sport-tuned suspension firms up the ride noticeably, so expect a sharper feel at the cost of some compliance over rough pavement.
