In line with Tesla’s global ‘floating price strategy’, cost-of-entry for the Performance version of the brand’s Model Y mid-size SUV has been reduced.

Previously $92,560, the rapid five-seater‘s price has fallen 1.3 per cent to $91,400, before on-road costs, which translates to $99,337 drive-away.

Facilitated by Tesla's no-dealer delivery model, the floating price approach is broadly linked to variables including the cost of production, currency fluctuations and the average price of competitors in each Tesla model’s market segment.

It means the brand’s prices are adjusted regularly, often several times a year.

Riding on 21-inch ‘Uberturbine’ alloy rims the twin-motor AWD is also distinguished by a lowered suspension set-up, performance brake package and rear carbon-fibre spoiler.

Producing a solid 366kW, the Model Y Performance is claimed to accelerate from 0-100km/h in just 3.7 seconds while retaining a (WLTP) range of 514km. 

Current estimated delivery timing in Australia for the Model Y Performance is February to April, 2024.

As a small boy James often sat on a lounge with three shoes in front of him, a ruler between the cushions, and a circular drinks tray in his hands. He would then play ‘drivings’, happily heading to destinations unknown for hours on end. He’s since owned many cars, raced a few, and driven (literally) thousands of them at all points of the globe. He’s steered around and across Australia multiple times, spent time as an advanced driving instructor, and had the opportunity to experience rare and valuable classics here and overseas. His time in motoring journalism has included stints at national and international titles including Motor, Wheels and TopGear, and when asked to nominate a career highlight, James says interviewing industry legend Gordon Murray, in the paddock at the 1989 Australian Formula One Grand Prix was amazing, especially as Murray waived away a hovering Ayrton Senna to complete the conversation. As Deputy Editor, James manages everything from sub-editing to back-end content, while creating written and video product reviews, as well as the weekly 'Tools in the Shed' podcast.'
