Model Y Performance Delivery ETA Pulled for New Orders
- Thread starter Radzer0
- Start date
I dont know the answer to your Q but the I did notice that the Y is quite a bit sluggish on the low end (the performance version)... even compared to pre-boosted perf model 3s last yr (when they had the 3.5sec ratings) it feels very very noticeably slower and heavy - part of the reason why my wife does not want to give up our performance model 3 for performance model y
Most independent tests, Edmunds, MotorTrend, DragTimes ect. have clocked the MYP at 3.7.
My Stealth MYP with 19's has been clocked at 3.5.
Tesla Model Y owner crushes advertised 0-60 mph time in real-world test
Not to sure what to think about this but it seems like the 2021 MYP comes with smaller motors?

Now this is VERY INTERESTING!! Any engineers out there now what this means for us? Or anyone familiar with electric motors, and going with this set up? Could they be smaller, BUT MORE EFFICIENT AND PERFORMANCE ROBUST motors? I don’t think they’d purposefully take away any of the Performance edge of a Model Y Performance. I’d assume it would be some kind of break through in technology or something....or so I’d hope! Any time Tesla comes out with a new electric motor, it usually ends up meaning more range because of newer technology (think Raven powertrain for example).
It also appears to take longer to charge; 10 hours versus 11.8 hours (with a standard charger, so I don’t know if that’s any kind of indicator of something?). Bigger battery?

Thanks for sharing. The motor information is interesting but what's most peculiar to me is the Time to Charge section where it references 72A charging. What does this mean? Does the Performance have a different on board charger than the LR? If this holds true it appears the Performance has the capability to charge nearly twice as fast as the LR via the Gen 2 HPWC.
isnt that the standard charging rate at 48mph (for the Tesla wall charger)? pretty sure all these cars already have that capability already
If you take a look at my screenshot in my previous post, the 2021 LR is listed at 72A also.

The onboard charger for the Model Y max is 11.5 kW (48 amp).
sure I get that, but I am going off the speed to full of 6.6hrs which equates to roughly 48mph, which we already have
BTW, sick of waiting already... no vin, no production, no information, nothing...

How reliable is the info in your screenshot? It lists varying motor specs for the 2 different versions of performance Y. One with 21” wheels and one without (stealth).
It’s comes from fueleconomy.gov It’s a government website, so I’d say the source is good. Pretty sure the data they receive and post comes from EPA data as well. And unless Tesla is planning on coming back out with a “stealth” version again, then I don’t think that’s “stealth” data. They had a “stealth” in 2020, but nothing heard as of yet for 2021.
I also think this site is where we learned about the new/recent MPGe and range changes that came out before Tesla even listed the changes....so once again I’d say reliable
The kw motor ratings don’t seem correct. Why wouldn’t the 2021 performance have the highest ratings?
Why does one of the LR show a front motor with <100 kw?

Drag times guy did it on the first run:
3.426 second 0-60
If you ever wonder about a Tesla Performance, always always always check Drag Times on YouTube. The guy is straighforward, has superior equipment, and reliably tests all upgrades that affect 0-60, 1/4 mile, etc.
