Refreshed Model Y Performance Nurburgring Testing Sparks Speculation
A camouflaged Model Y, potentially the upcoming Performance variant, was spotted undergoing testing at the Nurburgring. This has ignited a flurry of speculation about its final specifications and release date. Given the Model 3 Performance benchmarks, what performance figures are realistic for the Model Y Performance? Will it match the Model 3s 0-60 time of 2.9 seconds, or will the added weight and size impact its acceleration?
Considering the current Model Y Long Range AWD sits at 4.2 seconds for 0-60, a sub-3-second time for the Performance model seems ambitious. However, Tesla has consistently surprised us. Could they be targeting a figure closer to 3.5 seconds? What trade-offs, if any, might we see with range and efficiency in pursuit of this performance boost?
The article speculates a potential price point of $56,490 based on the current Model 3 pricing structure. Does this seem accurate, or could we see a higher price tag considering the ongoing market fluctuations and potential advancements in technology?
Beyond raw performance numbers, what other features are you hoping to see in the Model Y Performance? Upgraded brakes, suspension, and interior enhancements are all possibilities. What features are essential, and which are simply desirable?
Finally, when can we expect an official announcement and release? The article mentions late 2025, but Tesla timelines are notoriously fluid. What are your predictions? Are you holding off on a Model Y purchase in anticipation of the Performance variant?
Let the discussions begin. Share your insights, predictions, and wish lists for the Model Y Performance.
