Frequently Asked Questions

How fast is Tesla Model Y Performance

The Tesla Model Y Performance is equipped with a powertrain that delivers up to 393 kW (527 hp) of power and 487 lb-ft of torque.

This enables a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 3.5 seconds (ranked №49 out of 572 electric vehicles) and a top speed of 155 mph.

Real-world range of Tesla Model Y Performance

Tesla Model Y Performance achieves a real-world range of 258–316 miles, placing it at №120 among 572 electric vehicles. However, this range is subject to several influences:

  • Speed: Traveling at higher speeds reduces battery life.
  • Temperature: Extreme cold or hot weather can affect range.
  • Terrain: Hilly or mountainous landscapes decrease range.
  • Driving habits: Aggressive driving with frequent acceleration and braking consumes more energy.
  • Feature usage: Climate control and media systems also influence range.

It's important to acknowledge that these are estimations, and your actual driving range may differ. Consider these factors when planning your trip and be ready for potential charging stops.

Utilize the interactive EV Navigation map for trip planning assistance.

Tesla Model Y Performance charge port type?

The Tesla Model Y Performance in the USA is equipped with a Tesla charging port. You can charge it conveniently at home using a standard outlet, or utilize any public AC charging station with the appropriate cable. However, the car's built-in charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging speed to 11.5 kW, which translates to roughly 40 miles of range added per hour.

For faster charging, use DC fast-charging stations. The Tesla Model Y Performance supports a maximum DC charging rate of 250 kW, but it's important to note that battery temperature and current charge level can affect the actual charging speed you'll experience.

To estimate charging time, rate, and cost, you can use our Charging calculator.
