Tesla Model Y Performance AWD – Juniper

The Tesla Model Y Performance (Juniper) is the refreshed high-performance dual-motor AWD variant, producing around 460 hp, sprinting from 0–100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds, and reaching a top speed of 250 km/h. It delivers a WLTP-rated range of up to 360 miles, with energy use at 16.2 kWh/100 km, and can add 243 km of range in just 15 minutes of rapid charging. The exterior gains 21-inch Arachnid 2.0 wheels, sportier bumpers, red performance brakes, a carbon-fiber spoiler, and updated LED lighting. Inside, it features heated and ventilated sport seats, carbon-fiber trim, aluminum pedals, and a 16-inch display. The chassis includes adaptive dampers and a new “Stability Assist” mode for improved handling. In Europe, deliveries have begun with pricing starting at €61,990, positioning it as a compelling option for performance-focused EV buyers.

Home & Destination Charging (0 → 100%)

Charging is possible by using a regular wall plug or a charging station. Public charging is always done through a charging station. How fast the EV can charge depends on the charging station (EVSE) used and the maximum charging capacity of the EV. The table below shows all possible options for charging the Tesla Model Y Performance. Some modes may not be widely available in certain countries.

Fast Charging (10 → 80%)

Connector: Combined Charging System (CCS Combo 2). Rapid charging enables longer journeys by adding as much range as possible in the shortest amount of time. Charging power will decrease significantly after ~80% SoC; rapid sessions therefore rarely exceed 80%.

1-Stop Range Definition ⚡

The 1-Stop Range is calculated using the standardized driving profile and assumptions outlined below.

It represents the total distance covered in two trip stops, separated by a single 15-minute fast-charging session.
For vehicles without fast-charging capability, only the distance of the first stop is considered.

🚗 Driving Profile

  • Begin with a fully charged battery
  • Stop 1: Drive until the battery reaches 10% state-of-charge (SoC)
  • Perform a 15-minute fast charge
  • Stop 2: Continue driving until the battery again reaches 10% SoC

📋 Assumptions

  • Driving speed, climate, and environmental conditions are based on Real Range Highway data
  • No additional time required to initiate or stop the charging session
  • The charging station always delivers the maximum power requested by the vehicle
  • The battery is assumed to be in optimal health and condition

⚠️ Important Note : In real-world driving, it is practically impossible to replicate these conditions exactly.
This benchmark should therefore be viewed as a comparative metric, designed to evaluate vehicles under standardized conditions rather than predict exact trip distances.

5-Star Rating Definition

The 1-Stop Range represents the distance a vehicle can travel after a single 15-minute charging stop. To highlight the influence of temperature, this range is calculated under three identical weather conditions used in the Real-World Range benchmark. The 1-Stop Range in combined conditions is the basis for the star rating, which offers a quick and comparable measure of long-distance suitability across different vehicles. This rating helps drivers immediately see whether a car is practical for extended trips relative to its peers.

Assignment of Stars in 2025

  •  0 less than 200 km
  •  from 200 km to 325 km
  • ★★ from 325 km to 450 km
  • ★★★ from 450 km to 575 km
  • ★★★★ from 575 km to 700 km
  • ★★★★★ more than 700 km

Based on 2025 thresholds: 3 stars awarded for 490 km average. Half-stars interpolated. Vehicles with a rating between these values receive a rating based on a linear scale.

Fast Charging (10 -> 80%)

Rapid charging enables longer journeys by adding as much range as possible in the shortest amount of time. Charging power will decrease significantly after 80% state-of-charge has been reached. A typical rapid charge therefore rarely exceeds 80% SoC. The rapid charge rate of an EV depends on the charger used and the maximum charging power the EV can handle.

  • Max. Power: maximum power provided by charge point
  • Avg. Power: average power provided by charge point over a session from 10% to 80%
  • Time: time needed to charge from 10% to 80% Rate: average charging speed over a session from 10% to 80%
