Tesla's Model Y Performance Tease: Release Speculation, Tax Credits, and Latest EV News
Hey everyone, Dennis here from DennisCW! If you're into Tesla deal hacking, EV updates, and all things electric vehicles, you're in the right place. In this blog post, based on my latest video, we're diving into Tesla's mysterious tease that has everyone buzzing—likely the Model Y Performance. We'll also cover software updates, diner news, EV deals, and more. If you're new here, grab my Ultimate Tesla Deal Checklist (link below) to save thousands on your next Tesla.

Tesla's Tease: Is It the Model Y Performance?
Tesla dropped a cryptic post from their Europe and Middle East accounts, showing what looks like the rear spoiler of a vehicle. The internet is abuzz, with most folks betting it's the Model Y Performance. We've seen spy shots from the Nürburgring, and the silhouette matches up—think carbon fiber spoiler, but maybe paint-matched this time?
The tease points to a reveal this Friday, but it's region-specific. If history repeats (like the Model 3 Performance launching in Europe first), the US might see it in September. With the $7,500 federal tax credit ending soon, Tesla could get creative with binding agreements to lock in that incentive. Imagine snagging a Performance model with the credit—game-changer!

Software Updates: Low Power Mode Rolls Out
Tesla's 2025.32 update brings the highly requested Low Power Mode. Perfect for airport parking or long trips without draining your battery. It disables features like Sentry Mode to conserve energy. My Cybertruck just updated—excited to test it!
Tesla Diner Updates: New Menu Items
The Tesla Diner is expanding its menu with a mushroom burger, market salad, new shakes, and pies. Chef Greenspan shared it was madness at launch—2,000 customers a day! It's calmed down, and ordering from your Tesla makes it seamless. Have you tried it?

PPF vs. Ceramic Coating: Worth It for Your Tesla?
New Tesla owners, listen up: Should you get Paint Protection Film (PPF) or stick with ceramic coating? A Reddit post showed rock chips on a Quicksilver Model Y after just 1,000 miles. If you drive highways a lot (10-20k miles/year), PPF on the front bumper and hood could save you from costly repairs—especially if leasing.
I chatted with 24K Shine, who says full PPF is often overkill; focus on high-impact areas. I recommend at least paint correction and ceramic for easy cleaning. My Cybertruck has color-change PPF with ceramic on top. Check my video for the full breakdown, and hit up partners like 24K Shine or Unplugged Performance for Dennis deals on tint and detailing.
EV Deals: BMW i4 for $442/Month
With the tax credit window closing, EV sales are spiking—up 26% month-over-month! Case in point: Lease a BMW i4 for $442/month ($3k down) in LA. It's a solid luxury option. Contact Richard at Rigo Motors for the Dennis deal if you're shopping alternatives.

First Look: Model Y Long Range in New Colors
China's getting the Model Y Long Range first, spotted in Ultra Red and Stealth Grey. Ultra Red looks sharp with black accents. US release? Fingers crossed for Q4 with updates like front bumper cameras.

Wrapping Up: EV Sales Boom and Tax Credit Tips
EV leases hit 1 in 5 last month, thanks to the expiring $7,500 credit. Tesla briefly removed it from their site (backend update?), but it's still live. If you're on the fence, order now to secure a VIN.
