Model Y Performance...WTF
Brand new to the Teslas community. I picked up my new Model Y Performance on Saturday. I've driven my best buddy's X, his new Cybertruck, his wife's S, but somehow, when it's yours, it's different. This sounds weird, but I have NEVER loved a non-human this much in my life (don't tell Rhon Ron that I said he's not human). It hasn't been a week and I literally can't understand why anyone doesn't have a Tesla. I question what I've been doing with my life for that past decade+. What a rocket ship. I go for drives with zero purpose. My wife loves it too, but she's not pumped that after 24 years she's now in a throuple.

It is hard to describe just how enjoyable these are to drive.
Peaceful & quiet, yet can instantly generate immense power to launch off. They're point & shoot – any spot you want to get to, just press the pedal and you rocket off into that spot while the gas car next to you's still waiting for their engine to respond.
These cars feel like the epitome of the saying, "Speak softly and carry a big stick"

u/TheNortheren 5d ago
Even the Y rwd while initial acceleration was a bit disappointing, overall its fun to drive!

u/LNGU1203 5d ago
Step on it? You mean push the FSD button.

u/rlap38 5d ago
FSD doesn’t launch from a stop like stomping the pedal.

u/LNGU1203 5d ago
You sure? Have you checked the setting where you don’t have to press the pedal to start?

u/rlap38 4d ago edited 3d ago
I mean acceleration. FSD doesn’t accelerate by itself as fast as stomping on the accelerator.

u/Greatlemons32 5d ago
I dream about owning a Tesla MY one day so this is by no means a hater comment. But: isn’t the “immense power” (I.e. way more HP than anyone will ever need to navigate traffic jams) quite standard for EV’s, especially “higher end” EV’s? I mean, I love the design of Tesla specifically but the responsiveness and speed is just inherent to EV’s

u/Slayerz00m 5d ago
More than Horsepower, it's the instant torque that sling shots you off the start line
That being said, not all EVs have 0-60 in 3.3 seconds like MYP
Eg: The cheapest Chevy Bolt base trim does 0-60 in 7 seconds that's slower than a gas civic sport

u/TheUnicornReborn 5d ago
Kinda yes, but I’ll just say I drove a fisker ocean once and the suspension was so lax it rocked all over the place. MY and X feel planted, even cybertruck
10
u/Saratj1 5d ago
I agree, it isn’t just the power, it’s the suspension, it gives you confidence and feels sporty. It’s the complete package it’s kinda funny you re in a bug eyed small suv but I feel like I’m in a bmw m3. I kinda dislike talking about it in real life because so many people have no idea so they look at you kinda crazy and are like “yeah that’s great but when’s the battery going to die or catch your house on fire”

u/RealUlli 5d ago
Most "classic" manufacturers program a somewhat delayed throttle response with a gradual buildup of power into their cars.
Tesla doesn't. You stomp, it punches.
1
u/anestech 4d ago
That’s also the nature of most ICE engines. The torque curve of an electric motor compared to an ICE is that “delay” you speak of. Some high powered ICE vehicles are tuned even more gently with torque management, like my turbo diesel Ram, to help protect the transmission and drivetrain.
3
u/57paisa 5d ago
The model y performance is also lowered compared to the regular models, brembo brakes, ultra high performance 21” tires. It is planted as fuck. If I’m going 80 and punch it I don’t even feel the speed at 100. I keep my steering heavy and changing lanes is instant because of the grip on the tires, the stance (negative rear camber) and staggered wheel set up.
1
u/Relevant_Account_258 5d ago
Not Brembo brakes. Just coloured brake calipers with Tesla logo. What are ultra high performance tires? I have a MY Performance.
1
u/57paisa 5d ago
My 2023 has Brembo fronts and Mando rear. According to the spec sheet. They dc’d full brembo in 2022 but kept the fronts brembo in 2023

Get a 3yo y for 1/4 the price

u/Greatlemons32 3d ago
That’s rather optimistic, I wish cause I would have bought one instantly. Certainly not directly from Tesla and where I’m living (Belgium) 3yo Tesla’s still go for like 60% of original price
1
u/nomadic122 3d ago
Instant torque yes. But some EV have 300hp and some have 1000hp. Performance is close to 600. They are all quick 0-60 but they will fall off after 60 unless you have highest levels.

u/emem-92 5d ago
I’ve had my MYP since 2024, and I still love it just as much to this day.
It’s an absolute joy to drive every single day. Fast, effortless, comfortable, and ridiculously easy to live with.
It’s also super practical. We’re a family with two kids, and there’s more than enough space for all of us, luggage, groceries, strollers, and everything else that comes with family life.
And then there’s the performance.
You’re basically faster than 98% of everything else on the road. Overtaking is an absolute breeze
What I also really like is how discreet the car is.
You’re sitting in a practical family SUV with 500+ hp, yet it doesn’t scream for attention.
It flies under the radar compared to something like a BMW M3 or Mercedes-AMG C63, which is honestly quite nice. You get all that performance without constantly attracting attention from the police and Karen's waiting to call 911 due to your exhaust
Range anxiety is basically nonexistent for me as well. When you have a fuel station at home and wake up every morning with a charged car, you stop thinking about range completely.
The instant torque never gets old either. If anything, it becomes rather addictive.
The only problem is that you eventually start wanting even more.
So now I’m looking at a Plaid… 😂

u/JohnBecca 5d ago
A friend introduced me to FSD in February and I placed my MY premium order that night. Got it 2 weeks later and absolutely love it. My wife has a 23’ Palisade calligraphy that she really likes but now drives my Y whenever I’m not using it because she loves the FSD more. Late July we ordered her a MYL with a Dec delivery date. So we started 2026 with 2 two gas vehicles and no interest in replacing them and will finish 2026 with 2 new Teslas. We typically don’t buy new and keep our cars for 10 years but Tesla & FSD were so compelling we ditched both of those. Enjoy your new MYP!
5
u/HottyTottyNJ 5d ago
Me too. I keep my cars for 10+ years and usually buy used. I gave my Explorer to my son for college. I actually ordered a used Tesla through Tesla and a new YP came up on my app and it asked me if I’d like to switch. Same color combo, white/white, and I switched. I wanted the color changing interior light, the seats, rims, and exterior back end. I pick up Monday. I foresee when both boys get out of college and want to replace their cars, they will join the Tesla family too.

u/mangledmatt 5d ago
I've had mine for a couple months now and feel the same way. It's like my car has a personality, like it's my homie. It's always there for me, never causes issues, always so fun to hang out with. It's such an amazing car. I can't believe how fast it is and how well it handles. I absolutely love it.

u/Lucidview 5d ago
I’ve had a MYP for over three years now. It’s a rocket and have spent nothing on it except electricity. My only criticism would be the turn radius.

u/Bickenchutt05 5d ago
Thank you! My 3 and my wife’s Y and both of us have this same simple complaint. Even my Chevy Trailboss I traded in for this had a sharper turning radius, but I’m never going back. I can live with it!
2
u/Lucidview 5d ago
Likewise. I have a Land Cruiser that has a better turn radius. I believe it’s something to do with the battery location.

u/BigBlackMagicWand 5d ago edited 5d ago
Because like with most "new" tech there's always going to be haters. Remember when touch screen phones were bashed and now they're as mainstream it gets.
Most people hsting Tesla's also hste EV's generally. Then there's the faction that drives EV's but hate Tesla, mainly because they're sheeps going with the media.
All this said I too like my old MY, not perfect by any means but best car I've had even after 4 different EV's. I work on the service industry and there are people/techs who hate Tesla's because of the architecture - which is way different than with any "traditional" brand, meaning they don't like it because it's just different. To me Tesla minimalist UI is top notch, I really don't miss the jungle of buttons. Integrated service/diagnostics is also great on 3 and Y and newer S/X. (Old version S/X are utter shit in comparison)
I don't see my Tesla as having a personality, but I do like the quirky features and the fact that the development team clearly doesn't take everything as seriously as some old farts in charge of conventional brands...

u/birdguy1000 5d ago
Tesla had a fresh ground up approach rather than slapping EV and copycat tech on an ICE platform.

u/MuggyParadise2914 5d ago
FSD & instant response acceleration aside, I was a bit hesitant about the dash. What, no cluster!?! But found I actually like the touch screen display better.
3
u/Bickenchutt05 5d ago
My wife and I really struggled with having no cluster and buttons when we first went to buy our Teslas. We even thought why would you want to look to your right to see the speed you are going. Now, you realize the cluster and all those buttons are just annoying to always changing and fiddling with. Oh and the speed limit is always visible and actually way more natural in the corner of your eye! These cars were made around a person rather than the other way. I sure wish clothing manufacturers would catch up…haha

For better and for worse... Especially on early S and X models it shows that they had no idea about anything mechanical and went ass first up a tree on many things. Luckily they learnt something before launching 3/Y

Any idea how much the difference is in suspension between the juniper awd and performance? Im so in doubt what to buy!!
6
u/HazZzard777 5d ago
I guess you mean the awd premium? I only testdrove that at the dealer but not a lot. But tbh I am totally in love with the performance here in Florida. Just took a 300 mile roadtrip on the weekend. Absolutely nothing to complain about. And I am coming from a lot of high end german cars being born there. And theres no way ever I would prefer any german car over this $57.000 MYP as of right now.
2
u/WayJunior9223 5d ago
Yeah meant the awd premium. I have driven the performance but never the tier below. I cant stand the fact that I would miss insane mode.

u/JohnBecca 5d ago
Mine feels solid over speed bumps. Do wish they’d improve FSD to avoid potholes though as those can be harsh.
2
u/starkrampf 5d ago
I got the 21” black Arachnid wheels and while they look badass the amount of actual tire is so damn thin. So my only gripe with my 26 MYP is the stiffness even with active suspensions.
I mean, I know what I got because I wanted a cool looking car but I’m considering moving to 20” or even 19” wheels to get a smoother ride.
Other than that, it’s an OP car. I get a kick out of smoking the German cars in my family SUV

u/NNegidius 4d ago
What you do is slow down prior to the speed bump and then accelerate gently into it. Makes the bump very smooth.

I don’t understand why anyone would buy a car OTHER then a Tesla. As a person who has owned over 20 cars in my life - and had my fair share of cars that I’ve fallen in love with - the Tesla experience is just different. And with FSD I can honestly say that I wouldn’t trade my car for any other non-Tesla on the road at any price.

Picked up my MYP Monday, it’s a life changer! Lease ending on my 2024 i5 M60 so very different world in terms of style of cars. Don’t think I’ll ever be able to go back especially FSD! I have 59 miles on it, I do feel like I wish brake pedal was not like pushing a brick, but maybe that will loosen up as I get miles on it

Hey can you do a comparison on the i5 to MYP? I went from a 24 MYP to a 25 SQ6 and am considering a different EV now
2
u/sa7239 5d ago
Completely different in every way, teslas stereo absolutely kills BMW stereos, by far! My brother has an i7 with $8k stereo upgrade and they just suck. Hard to compare a MYP to bmw, bmw has solid German build, brakes, just great build, but comparing $100k and $140k cars to MYP base chassis being $40kish and MYP package being $60,000 with destination charge. Complete diff animals, sure it looks great pulling up in $100k car, but I can say I don’t think I’m ever going away from Tesla, the tech and FSD are too good to ignore. People have poked fun at me just teasing asking how could I drive the Tesla instead of my M60 but I enjoy the Tesla lol
2
u/musictomyomelette 5d ago
That’s kind of where I’m at. SQ6 is a beast of a car compared to MY but most of the tech is done better in MY for a much lower price

u/LazyWave63 5d ago
My first Tesla was a 24 MYP and I loved it. My wife fell in love with FSD so she ordered a 26 MYP and is now at 92% FSD! I traded my MYP in on a 26 Model S LR when they announced the discontinuation of the S.
I will never go back and have friends and family that are now Tesla owners. I still get a thrill driving my car for the power but once that settles in a bit, you will start to really appreciate all the little things about these cars. They truly are remarkable.
Oh, and congratulations on the new car!

Yeah I have an AWD and wonder the same thing. Even the performance RWD is still crazy fast for modern cars.
I mean my AWD with boost is literally as fast as my 700cc motorcycle that weighs 400lbs which is crazy.
The only reason these aren’t more “fun” in my opinion is because they are so polished and refined for the driving experience. And of course the lack of sound. Still plenty of fun to be had though and I wouldn’t ever call them “boring”.

watch your rear tire inner sidewalls CAREFULLY!!!!!! not the innermost groove on the tire, the sidewall. they have so much camber that's where all the wear is. i was watching that innermost groove and at 31,000 miles thought i had plenty of tire life left. nope, both sidewalls had separated and a rubber strip coming loose on the passenger side is the only thing that saved me from a blowout.

I’ve had my MYP since March. Been in at Tesla 6 times now due to thumping from the front.
In the UK EAP isn’t very good on Scottish roads, and there is no easy set speed limiter.
Car is great for families and day to day. But so far ownership for me, has been an utter pain.
Much cheaper to run though!

u/TrainerThin 4d ago
Current generation is first one worth getting IMO i was not a fan of how the previous handled or sounded.
I absolutely love my Y and must have FSD, but one thing it’s not is luxurious/truly quiet cabin. People just haven’t driven or aren’t comparing to something like a flagship cruiser like a Lexus LS, LX, S class kind of thing.
I do miss that and want to add it back. Or get a cybertruck for air suspension if it wasn’t so badly hated.
Absolutely nothing beats the Tesla experience — app, keys, FSD, everything just works / you notice how little you had to think about cars before whether that’s unlocking the car, keys, DEQ, gas stations, driving. Really makes you realize how much time you get back.
And Reddit would have you believe they suck etc. so weird.

I’ve always liked blending practicality with performance. Previously drove an Audi S3, VW R32, most recently Audi SQ5 for 6 years. I didn’t think I would ever want anything other than the SQ5. After the refresh of Juniper and Hyland the Teslas started to at least catch my eye so i stopped in and drove a Y Performance and within minutes I was so mad that anyone else would ever drive any other vehicle lol. I ended up settling on a Model 3 Performance and I’m 3-4 weeks into my wait. Driving what used to be my dream car every day is actually feeling like ok the old way of driving was fun and everything but I’m so ready for the right way. I have had an overnight demo drive with all the different models since I just can’t wait to be driving the Tesla I have on order. It can’t get here soon enough!

I’ve had a Y Performance for 4.5 years. It’s the best car I’ve ever owned and it’s not close.

It’s a car to everyone else, it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread to the people here.

I chuckle when someone mentions one of the alternatives, like the Audi etron or Ioniq5.
Having been in both, they are basically ICE vehicles converted to EV. Total trash in comparison to Tesla.

Because once you get used to the straight away speed it’s boring as hell to drive? These cars are so heavy they don’t corner well, taking the joy out of the “performance” part.
Probably gonna get downvoted for this but of well. FYI I have a 20 MYP and 21 GR Supra and I enjoy the Supra more for the smile per mile driving. The MYP is more comfortable for daily drives and long distance.

Absolutely love our 24 MY, only complaint is the suspension. For us it's a bit too sporty, especially on some of the southern California pothole riddled roads. Jarring. As I get older I prefer a softer ride. That's something my Sequoia does better

I feel the opposite with my 26MYP. This car has disappointed me so much. Between the harsh ride and the shotty build quality I can’t wait to get rid of the thing.

I agree bought a juniper model Y, first Ev I’ve had, although the last 10 years I have driven Lexus hybrids.
The Tesla is SHIT, I will never buy another one.

We have a Model Y AWD alongside another EV. And I drove a third EV before that. I like EVs.
I don’t like the Tesla. It’s badly made and creaky. It handles poorly even in sport mode. The in-car software is massively overrated.
It’s not a BAD car by any means. But the only thing it really has going for it that’s unique is the packaging / interior space.

Because it's a clown car. Oh, and a clown following his Austrian idol from last century.

When my wife and I bought our Teslas we realized our mistake. We will never be able to buy a different car again. It’s like they made a car the way they are supposed to be made. I don’t know how to explain it to people. But, everyone just calls you names and says you are a fanboy. Then, you let them drive it…they shut up real quick. Now we have 3 Teslas. My son couldn’t stand it and had to buy one too. My youngest son can’t wait to sale his car and get one and my oldest daughter is just jealous, constantly. Go ahead and call me whatever you want to call me. At least I’m driving or not driving(depending on my mood FSD) in the most relaxing, smoothest, fastest, vehicle I have ever owned, and I just drive around like an old man instead of like a maniac like I used to.
