Hey everyone, DennisCW here! I’m beyond excited to share the latest scoop on the brand-new Tesla Model Y Performance that has just been spotted testing in the Alps. This is hands-down our clearest look at this beast yet—no camouflage, no funky wheels, just pure, unfiltered Tesla goodness. Let’s dive into all the juicy details and upgrades we can see from the leaked footage and screenshots!
This Model Y Performance was captured in what appears to be Sentry Mode footage or Tesla vehicle cameras, giving us an incredible view of the car in action. While the exact location in the Alps remains a mystery, the visuals are crystal clear. We’ve got videos, screenshots, and a ton to unpack, so let’s break it down.
At first glance, this Model Y Performance is rocking a bold new color—a glossy burnt orange or perhaps a deep red, reminiscent of a BMW M2 or my own Model Y’s FlexiShield Satin Crimson wrap. Depending on the lighting, it can look orange or red in person, and I’m loving the vibe it gives off. What do you think of this shade? Let me know in the comments!
Let’s zoom in on the details. Here’s what stands out from the footage:
There’s also speculation about new badging—could this be the rumored "Ludicrous Y" mode? Only time will tell, but these upgrades scream performance and style.
Rumors have been swirling about the Model Y Performance launching around September or October. However, seeing this prototype already testing without camouflage makes me wonder if Tesla might surprise us sooner—perhaps as early as July to kick off the next quarter with some excitement. After all, Tesla loves to keep the momentum going, especially with the Model Y already dominating sales. A halo car like this could push the hype to the next level.
What’s the point of holding off when it’s already turning heads in the Alps? I’m curious to hear your thoughts—are you expecting a sooner release, or do you think Tesla will stick to the fall timeline?
If you’re not waiting for the Performance model and are in the market for a Tesla now, there are some fantastic deals on the current Model Y lineup. Don’t forget to use a Tesla referral code (like the one in the description below) to snag three months of Full Self-Driving for free!
I’ve also been getting tons of DMs from viewers who’ve taken advantage of Tesla’s option credit program. For example, Robert tagged me recently—he scored a free white interior upgrade ($1,000 off) thanks to a $1,500 sales incentive ($500 for loyalty, $1,000 for the interior). If you’re unfamiliar with how option credits work, check out my recent videos for a full breakdown. Essentially, switching to an inventory vehicle for quicker delivery can unlock some sweet discounts.
