Performance

The Tesla Model Y Performance has a maximum power of 393KW (534hp). The total torque is 660nm. The 0-100km/h sprint (0-62mph) takes 3,7 seconds. The top speed is 250 km/h.

Battery, range, and charging

The battery has a gross capacity of 82kWh and a net capacity of 75kWh, meaning you have a 7kWh buffer for protection. (8,5%). The WLTP range is 514 km (319 mi). The consumption is 14,6kWh/100km for the WLTP standard test. For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listing on this model’s range and consumption page.

The maximum DC charging speed is 250kW. A full charge from 0 - 100% would take 62 minutes, while a more common scenario of 10-80% would take 31 minutes. If you assume you lose 5 minutes driving per charge stop in addition to the charge time, the optimum charge area is from 5% to 46% resulting in an actual charge speed including time loss on 109kW. Each charge session would take 17 minutes and 55 seconds.

For the theoretical 1000km challenge, starting with a full battery and driving at 120km/h (75 mph), assuming optimal driving conditions and consumption of 19,5kWh/100km, 1000km will take 9 hours and 26 minutes to drive. This trip will require four charge session(s) charging from 5% to 45%. The total time lost for charging will be 66 minutes.

Onboard charger

For level 1 and level 2 AC charging, the onboard charger supports up to 11KW charging. As a result, you can charge the battery 0-100% from home in about 6 hours and 49 minutes.
