Tesla Model Y - Throttle House Review [YouTube]

The Throtle House channel, which is dedicated to rather expensive powerful cars, conducted a Tesla Model Y Performance test. The reviewer was clearly pleased with the car's handling and seems to have found that the first crossover has a low center of gravity for a truly dynamic ride.

Test: Tesla Model Y Performance

The Tesla Model Y Performance is an all-wheel drive variant (four-wheel drive, one motor per axle) and the slowest Performance model in the Model S/3/X/Y Performance family. Yet he offers acceleration to 100 km / h only long 3,7 secondswhich is better than most (all?) competitors in this segment, including the Porsche Macan Turbo.

However, this was not the main thing. The channel operator decided that the raised silhouette of SUVs / crossovers might be trendy, but something for what: it shifts the center of gravity higher, further away from the road. This even applies to the Lamborghini Urus. Meanwhile, the Tesla Model Y's motors and batteries, which in total weigh several hundred kilograms, maintain a low center of gravity and stabilize the electrics even during sharp turns.

Tesla Model Y Performance performs better in them than Tesla Model X, although it does not provide the same confidence as the younger Tesla Model 3.

There was no information on the vehicle's energy consumption in the review. However, we do know that the model with these rims (21 '' Ueberturbine Wheels) must be 280 miles / 451 km range for a fee (EPA, manufacturer's estimate; 480 WLTP units). This means that the energy consumption during normal driving should be 16,4 kWh / 100 km (164 Wh / km).
