NEW TESLA MODEL Y PERFORMANCE IS A HUGE UPGRADE! MY FIRST DRIVE & FULL TOUR (EURO SPEC)

EV Channels Review

The reviewer compares the new Euro-spec Tesla Model Y Performance against its predecessor, highlighting significant upgrades. Key improvements include a larger usable battery (82 kWh vs 79 kWh), a more aggressive exterior design differentiating it from the Long Range variant with new bumpers and spoiler, and updated interior features like carbon fiber trims and exclusive performance seats with thigh support. The reviewer praises the new seats for their comfort and bolstering. Driving dynamics have also been enhanced with a lighter steering wheel, a stiffer brake pedal due to the new brake-by-wire system, and a more compliant suspension that offers better comfort without sacrificing sportiness. While the new model doesn't immediately feel drastically faster, the reviewer notes improvements in higher speeds and overall driving feel. A notable omission is the lack of 'Track Mode' at launch, though it's expected via an update. The reviewer also points out the new model's electronic rear seats that fold more conveniently and a slightly lower loading height for the rear cargo area. Overall, the new Model Y Performance is deemed a substantial upgrade, offering a more refined and comfortable driving experience while retaining its fun-to-drive character.
