About Tesla Model Y Performance (2020-…)

The Tesla Model Y Performance (2020-…) is an all-electric all-wheel drive SUV. It came out in 2020. Brand new, the car starts around $54,490.

The Tesla Model Y Performance (2020-…) has a 78.1 kWh battery pack, allowing it to travel up to 287 mi on a single charge. The car has an average efficiency of 26.1 kWh per 100 miles (or 3.8 miles per kWh) — ranked №190 out of 695 electric vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How powerful is it? How fast does it accelerate?

The Tesla Model Y Performance (2020-…) achieves a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 3.5 seconds (placing it at №60 among 693 electric vehicles) and attains a maximum speed of 155 mph.

Its powertrain provides a power output of up to 393 kW (527 hp) and a torque of 487 lb-ft.

How far can it go on single charge? What is the real-world range?

The estimated real-world range for Tesla Model Y Performance (2020-…) falls between 258–316 miles, ranking it №188 out of 693 electric vehicles. Several conditions can influence this range:

Speed: The battery drains faster at higher speeds.
Temperature: Extreme temperatures can impact range.
Terrain: Range is reduced on hilly or mountainous terrain.
Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors, such as frequent acceleration and braking, decrease efficiency.
Feature utilization: Climate control and media system usage also affect range.

These figures are approximations, and your actual driving range may vary. When planning trips, consider these factors and be prepared for potential charging stops.

For trip planning assistance, utilize the EV Navigation interactive map.

What charging options are available? How long does it take to charge it?

The Tesla Model Y Performance (2020-…) in the USA comes with a Tesla (NACS) charging port. It can be charged at home using a standard domestic socket or at any public AC charging station with the compatible cable. It's important to note that the car's on-board charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging rate to 11.5 kW, resulting in approximately 40 miles of range added per hour of charging.

For significantly faster charging, public DC fast-charging stations are available. Although the car can achieve a maximum DC charging rate of 250 kW, factors such as battery temperature and charge level may affect the actual charging speed.
