The Tesla Model Y Performance brings more verve to the electric SUV’s driving experience, but the cabin remains loyal to Tesla’s minimalistic approach.
Nearly all of the functions are handled by the 16-inch touchscreen mounted in the center of the dashboard, which is responsive and crisply rendered.
The Performance trim gets upgraded seats with more bolstering and a “warp speed” badge just below the headrests.
The amount of features that can be adjusted via the Model Y’s screen can be overwhelming, and shifting between drive and reverse still feels a bit strange, especially when the car automatically does it for you.
Tesla differentiates the Performance model from lesser Model Ys with carbon-fiber trim, while ambient lighting provides a bit of extra style.
While not cramped, the rear seat of the Model Y feels less spacious and a bit more claustrophobic than rivals like the Rivian R2 due to its sloping roofline.
That sleek silhouette also eats into cargo space dramatically, with the rear hatch able to hold just seven carry-on suitcases.
