Model Y Performance Track Mode has arrived as a Holiday Software Update: As seen on twitter!!!!!

This is great news track mode has arrived for the MYP. This might just force me to order a P now.

Tesla includes Model Y Track Mode with early release of their 2022 holiday update [2022.44.25 & 2022.44.25.1]

Tesla has started deploying their 2022 holiday update to owners much earlier than usual. The 2022.44.25 software update has started appearing on cars in Canada and around the world, and it includes some features that […]

So you can now wallow and porpoise your MYP around a road course. Brilliant.

Meanwhile, Tesla needs to build replacement functionality for USS-less cars, fix dozens of bugs, etc.

Next coming soon useless feature: Model X Plaid Flight Mode, where you can hit the strip with the Falcon Wing doors wide open and look like an airplane about to take off!

You like to have fun or no?

The snow is calling my name… but I need to update first. Can service push the update to me?

I’m often last to update as I have a June 2020 delivery (build date was a few months earlier)

Awesome! I can already hear my wife telling me to knock it off and quite playing around in her car.

So I installed the holiday update and found the track mode button but it's grayed out for me. Anyone else facing the same issue?

The charger cable needs to be disconnected and foot on the brakes.

Whoa you better be charging before you track that thing

Only way track any tesla is to lose weight, bigger wider tires, ceramic brake option & adustable suspension, let’s not forget the model y also has a larger ride height than a cat, need a to be dropped at least 4 to 7 inches in ride height and have a wicked stance. Hence BMW X3/4M. Track ready from the factory.

I'm still waiting. Counting days to get Track Mlde on my MYP.
Interesting move - Elon promised it 2 years ago, and finally ships it in December. SCCA off-season, and not so many HPDEs across the country.
I'm pretty sure some cars will be wrecked by newbie drivers trying drift mode on public roads.

What is your experience with Model Y on the track to say that?
7 inch drop? Is that a typo? MYP ground clearance is 6.2".

Bummer. I’m still waiting for the update. Cant wait!

Has anyone actually tried it yet to see if there is a difference?

I did some grocery shopping. On the way back I have enabled Track mode (70 rear 30 front 0 stability control). Regular driving, nothing crazy. It's only 3 miles of local roads drive and hard to feel any difference besides the fact that I needed to use brakes to stop (roll setting). The surprising part was energy consumption. I got less than EPA with Track mode off but better than EPA with Track on. It suppose to be the other way around. Could be because of some other reasons like the battery and the car got warmer... Anyhow, it will be interesting to see how energy consumption changes based on Track mode settings.

There is a new youtube video with Model Y Track mode:

I'm sure it's just a mistake, but I found it interesting that the video claims that acceleration improved with track mode on.

That video made me feel sick - it's basically no different than the Model 3 software, except the guy is driving around a parking lot at 12MPH swerving around needlessly.

Can anyone confirm if the stealth model y got the update yet?

Stealth Model Y, Do you mean like the P3D- ? I have never heard of a Model Y with all the performance motor and software, without the PUP.

You can track a Tesla with just upgraded brake fluid and pads if you really want the bare necessities.

What a useless video… Guy spends 8 minutes blathering on and driving around a parking lot like a grandma.

I finally got the update this afternoon and took it for a quick spin. First impression on the drift setting is that it is absolutely able to put down power coming out of turns unlike the stingy “factory” stability control. Was able to kick the back end out on a couple of turns, but still need to do some more testing.

As for power consumption, I read that the model 3 has stronger regen in track mode (~125kw vs ~85kw), so if the same applies to the Y that could be the reason for your observation. I personally didn’t feel any difference, but my trip was super quick.
