Model Y Performance (Juniper)

The Tesla Model Y Performance (Juniper) is a 5-seat SUV with all-wheel drive, on sale in the UK from £61,990. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 3.8 seconds, quicker than 87% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 286 miles (460 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 63% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 70th of 242 SUVs.

It uses around 3.6 mi/kWh (172 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 79 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 125 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 332 miles (535 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Its UK starting price works out at £217 per mile of real-world range, higher than the median for SUVs (£186 per mile).

Second-hand, a 2025 example is estimated at £35,300–£40,300, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2025 car should still manage about 280 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
