Tesla Model Y Performance Deliveries Are Here: Top Reviews, Showroom Updates & Exciting News
Hey everyone, Dennis here from DennisCW! If you're as hyped as I am about the new Tesla Model Y Performance, you're in for a treat. Deliveries are kicking off as soon as next week, with some estimates showing November 27 through December 2. I've rounded up the top three reviews, fresh showroom sightings, battery insights, and more Tesla goodness. Let's dive in!
Delivery Dates Are Locking In
The wait is almost over! One Bay Area order for a Stealth Grey Model Y Performance with white interior is projecting delivery between November 27 - December 2. This is the tightest window we've seen yet. While Texas deliveries might lag a bit, expect a wave soon—especially once EPA approvals finalize.

Top 3 Reviews You Can't Miss
Tesla invited top creators to check out the Model Y Performance early. Here's the rundown:
- Out of Spec - Detailed drive and impressions.
- Everyday Chris - Hands-on with accessories like the mobile connector adapter (perfect for camping—plug in a hairdryer? Why not!). He also tested 3W all-weather floor mats, which look like a near-perfect fit (minor tweaks needed?). Use promo code DENNIS35 for 35% off 3W mats.
- Jeep - Real-world performance insights.
These reviews highlight the sporty seat bolsters (extendable for extra comfort—game-changer for track days) and that funky mix of matte and gloss black finishes. More on that below.
Showroom Sightings: See It in Person
Model Y Performances are popping up nationwide:
- Buena Park, CA (LA area): Quicksilver with black interior.
- Arlington, VA: Quicksilver with white interior.
- Cherry Hill, NJ & Bellevue, WA: Fresh arrivals.
Pro tip: Many showrooms now let you sit inside. Battery math from one suggests ~83.2 kWh usable—potentially more than Long Range models!
My Honest Take: Design Quirks & Fixes
The Performance looks aggressive, but that matte black + gloss black combo on bumpers, wheels, and mirrors? It's intentional but funky to me. Shoutout to Tesbros and DIY Wrap Club for upcoming matte PPF kits—perfect for Quicksilver or Diamond Black builds. Save thousands by DIY-ing it!
Seats? Chef's kiss. Those extendable bolsters add stability and comfort I didn't know I needed.
Note: Showroom cars run older FSD (v13.2.9)—expect updates on delivery.
