Spotted! The Future of Electric SUVs
In a world where electric SUVs are changing the game, Tesla is at the forefront, and guess what? A Tesla Model Y Performance prototype has been spotted doing laps in sunny California! This coming-of-age vehicle, nicknamed ‘Juniper’ after its recent refresh, is about to shake things up in the EV market.
What’s Under the Camouflage?
As our trusty Electrek eagle-eyed reader cycled near the Tesla engineering palace in Palo Alto, they found the Model Y Performance shrouded in its unmistakable disguise. Now, don’t let the camouflage fool you; we’ve got some solid detective work to do. The plaid 20″ wheels are a classic move, only reserved for performance versions. And those red brake calipers? Yep, another telling sign of its high-performance lineage. This isn’t just a pretty face; it promises to deliver something special!
Expectations vs. Reality
The previous Model Y Performance turned heads with an EPA-estimated range of 277-285 miles. Not to mention, it could dash from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 3.5 seconds! With the new Juniper refresh, we anticipate even better numbers while delivering some nifty upgrades like a light bar, ambient interior lighting, and—drumroll please—a rear screen! And if you were eyeing it before, the price tag started at a cool ,500. Let’s hope the new version is just as enticing when it finally rolls out in the coming months.
