Tesla Model Y Juniper Performance – everything you need to know about Tesla's coolest family SUV
Share
Tesla has finally launched the Model Y Juniper Performance in Europe. This new top-of-the-line model combines everything we love about the Model Y Long Range – practical space, long range and modern technology – with supercar performance and a sportier design.
But what exactly is the difference between the new Performance edition and the regular Model Y Juniper Long Range? Here's the full overview.
🚘 What's new with the Model Y Juniper in general?
In 2025, Tesla's best-seller received a major update, codenamed Juniper. The upgrade gives the car a more modern look and several important improvements:
-
New interior with larger screen and better material selection
-
Improved noise reduction and driving comfort
-
Redesigned bumpers and aerodynamic adjustments
-
Upgraded battery technology with more efficient consumption
⚡ The difference between Long Range and Performance
Acceleration and top speed:
Performance is built for speed. The Long Range takes around 4.6-5.0 seconds from 0-100 km/h, while the Performance can do the sprint in just 3.5 seconds. Top speed also increases from 217 km/h to a whopping 250 km/h.
Range and battery:
Long Range and Performance are close in range: around 586 km for Long Range and 580 km for Performance (WLTP). Performance has a new 5M battery pack with around 82-84 kWh usable capacity and lower consumption – so even with more power you lose almost nothing in range.
Chassis and driving characteristics:
While the Long Range has a standard setup, the Performance offers adaptive dampers, a lowered sports suspension and a stiffer chassis. This provides sharper handling, especially in corners and at higher speeds.
Design and rims:
Performance stands out clearly with 21″ Arachnid 2.0 wheels, a carbon rear spoiler and a more pronounced front with a sporty bumper.
Interior and screen:
The Long Range comes with a 15.4″ screen, while the Performance gets a new 16″ UHD screen with significantly higher resolution. It also comes with sports seats, carbon details and a more premium feel in the cabin.
