The Tesla Model Y Performance – here’s why it is so in demand

The Tesla Model Y is one of the select EVs from the brand that recently received a refresh.

Now on offer as part of the Model Y family are Standard, Premium, and Performance, to suit different drivers and their needs and wants.

The Model Y Performance has ‘redesigned battery cells’, which now means that the range can roam up to a mighty 360 miles.

With added aerodynamic elements, including a longer rear spoiler and new front and rear fascias, alongside Full Self Driving elements, the mid-size SUV is ‘engineered to be the safest car on the road’, according to Tesla itself.

Here’s what he really thought of the ride quality

Now, we should note here that Dennis CW is no stranger to getting behind the wheel of a Tesla, and previously shared how installing PPF on his Tesla Model Y Performance was worth it.

This time, though, he was sharing just how impressed he was with the ride quality of the EV.

“The new Model Y is a lot more comfortable than previous generations,” he said as he took to the Californian roads.

With 10 previous Teslas under his belt, he explained that when buying a Performance car, especially, drivers aren’t choosing it for the ride quality, and you’ll be able to see why.

He explained that you can feel the vehicle jumping around as it is supposed to have sports suspension, but he also came to a big conclusion.

After previously stating that it was 10 percent rougher than a regular Model Y Premium, he now says he has ‘dialled it up’ to around 10 to 20 percent, with unpaved Californian roads proving to be a wild ride.

For prospective buyers, he recommended test-driving different Model Y trims on rougher roads to really understand the car’s operating system.

“It is much better than years before, but it is still going to have some harsh moments in terms of like the bumps,” he concluded.

So, there you have it – the Model Y may not be the smoothest ride, but you have to agree it sure does look like it means business.
