2022 Tesla Model Y Performance

The Model Y is Tesla's compact electric SUV, slotting between the Model 3 sedan and the larger Model X. It competes with the Ford Mustang Mach-E, Volkswagen ID.4, and Hyundai Ioniq 5 in the growing EV crossover segment. Instant torque and a low center of gravity give the Model Y a planted, responsive feel that belies its crossover size. The hatchback body offers generous cargo space, plus a front trunk for extra storage. A minimalist cabin centers on a 15-inch touchscreen that controls nearly everything, including the standard Autopilot driver aids. A lowered suspension, 21-inch Überturbine wheels, and Track Mode set the Performance apart from the Long Range. Dual electric motors and all-wheel drive give it instant torque and a 3.5-second 0–60 mph time, with 303 miles of range. The Performance rides firmer than the Long Range, which is the trade-off for its sharper handling and quicker acceleration.
