A couple of days ago, we got a hold of the keys (or rather, the card) to the Tesla Model Y Performance, the first time we’ve seen the electric SUV in the final form that Malaysian customers will get. During our time with it, we noticed several details that were not present on either the launch cars or the Standard Range model we briefly drove.
The most noticeable change was the addition of privacy glass, the rear side windows and windscreen being considerably darker than the rest of the windows. This seems to be linked to an unfortunate change for 2024 – the deletion of the rear parcel shelf, which would otherwise hide your belongings from prying eyes. This is a strange omission, as the parcel shelf was only added to Model Y production last year.
Also related to the glass is the inclusion of full double glazing for the side windows, not just for the front; this was first introduced on the Model 3 “Highland” facelift last year and makes for less wind noise. Last but not least, the Model Y we drove sported the latest “Hardware 4” cameras for the Autopilot semi-autonomous driving feature.
These can be picked out through the slightly larger camera modules on the front fenders and the tailgate, along with the distinctive red-tinted lenses. These provide higher-resolution imagery visible on the surround view monitor as well as a more true-to-life white balance, with less of the yellow tint seen on the 2023 cars.
We should point out that the car we drove lack the updates introduced in China in October, which added some of the detail interior changes of the Model 3 Highland. These include visible, customisable ambient lighting and fabric instead of wood decor.
Otherwise, the Model Y Performance is the same as before, capable of getting from zero to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds, hitting a top speed of 250 km/h and achieving a range of 514 km on the WLTP cycle. Performance-specific upgrades include 21-inch “Überturbine” wheels, a carbon fibre rear spoiler, bigger brakes and lowered suspension. It’s priced at RM289,700 excluding on-the-road registration fees, RM89,000 more than the base Standard Range.
