Hey everyone, DennisCW here! If you're as excited about Tesla's latest moves as I am, buckle up because we've got some fresh updates straight from the world of EVs. In my recent video, I dove into the start of Model Y Performance deliveries, some interesting consumer insights on the Model Y Long Range, new wheels from Unplugged Performance, and must-have accessories for your Tesla. Let's break it all down in this blog post.
The moment we've been waiting for has arrived: Model Y Performance deliveries have officially begun! Tesla shared a stunning photo of an Ultra Red Model Y Performance fresh off the manufacturing line, and I had to do a double-take. At first glance, it looked like it had chrome trim around the windows and door handles, but upon closer inspection, that's just protective covering for delivery. Underneath, it's all sleek and ready to hit the road.
What really stands out are the updates: the new front bumper, fresh wheels, red calipers, and a revamped rear bumper. In the background of the photo, you can see a bunch of these beauties being loaded up for transport. This is happening now, and it's got me wondering—when will we see these in the US? Could it be today, tomorrow, or even this month? Fingers crossed, Tesla fans!
If you're eyeing one, keep an eye on Tesla's inventory because these performance beasts are about to make waves.
Shifting gears to the Model Y Long Range (often abbreviated as Model Y LR), it's gaining a reputation among Chinese consumers as a "larger four-person" vehicle rather than a true three-row SUV. Why? Because many owners are folding down the third-row seats to maximize trunk space, turning it into a more practical daily driver.
This makes total sense. The third row is a fantastic feature for occasional use—like family outings or extra passengers—but for 80-90% of the time, you're probably just cruising with the back seats empty. Folding them down gives you a wider, more versatile trunk without sacrificing rear passenger comfort. It's a smart hack that's appealing to a lot of buyers. Have you tried this in your Model Y? Let me know in the comments!
On the performance side, Unplugged Performance just dropped their latest creation: the Cybernova wheels for the Cybertruck. These bad boys not only look sharp and aggressive but are also designed to be more efficient, helping you squeeze out extra range.
Picture them on a tan Cybertruck—it's got that rugged, cool vibe that almost makes me regret my color choice! Unplugged Performance is calling these a game-changer, and they're offering a wheel trade-in program. If you've got Model 3, Model Y, or Cybertruck wheels to swap, you can score a $1,000 discount or credit. No need to be in California; they're shipping nationwide. They'll even send you a box to ship your old wheels back.
Their RW wheels are pretty sick too. What do you think of the Cybernova design? Drop your thoughts below—I'd love to hear if you're planning a upgrade.
Now, let's talk about something every new Tesla owner quickly realizes: your car comes with zero accessories. Not even a phone mount! But don't stress—I've got recommendations that will make your Tesla experience way better.
In my opinion, these are must-haves:
