Model Y Long Range All-Wheel Drive Performance

[midd]

Anyone know what these Model Y Long Range All-Wheel Drive Performance are? Saw this new variant while checking used inventory. Slots in between LR and P?

Could be a way to refurbish used inventory to get more $$$ for them by unlocking the power output of the motors and putting the dinky spoiler on? Unsure if they have the brakes and suspension of the P (white model below alludes to Perf Upgrade). Maybe the white one is just mislabeled? Pics show vehicles with Gemini and some with Uber Turbine.

Please comment if you know more.

Most likely a LR that has the $2k performance speed boost optional upgrade.

Hmm, i thought that too, but the acceleration boost doesn't get the 0-60 time down to 3.5 seconds. That is the official time of the performance model (roll-out subtracted). So the 3.5 time is not really 0-60, where the other models are true 0-60 measurements. Still, an LR with AB is 0-60 in 4.2 seconds and there is no way that roll-out is as much as 0.7 seconds.

Maybe a MYP that swapped to 19" tires? That would keep the 0-60 but increase the range.

In 2020 there was a free Performance Upgrade for the Performance model. I’m not sure what it consists of exactly but I think it’s wheels and maybe lowered suspension and aluminum pedals. Some people call the non-PUP version stealth performance model.

Looks like early few Performance Stealth variants? White one is odd since that has red Brembos.

Another theory are long range models with 980 and 4D1 rear drive motors. Nothing is stopping Tesla from unlocking or reflashing the firmware to support maximized output.
