Tesla, one of the most popular electric car manufacturers globally, has now started delivering the first batch of Model Y High-Performance models in China. This was confirmed by the company itself on its official Weibo account.
The China-made Model Y started delivering in the country from January but out of the two models — Long Ranger and High-Performance, it appears that only the Long Range model was being delivered so far.
The Tesla Model Y High-Performance model has a starting price of 389,900 yuan and has a battery life of 566 kilometers under the NEDC standard. When compared, the price is 111,900 yuan more than the entry-level Model Y.
Thanks to the dual-motor all-wheel drive, the car only takes 3.7 seconds to accelerate from zero kilometers to 100 kilometers and has a maximum speed of 250 kilometers per hour.
Additionally, the Tesla Model Y High-Performance model with 10 milliseconds four-wheel-drive response speed is equipped with a racing kit, including 21-inch cyclone turbine wheels and carbon fiber spoilers, advanced braking devices, exclusive aluminum alloy pedals, and lower suspension.
Recently, Tesla’s Giga Shanghai reached a production capacity of 1,000 Model Y vehicles per day. The Model Y production rate at Giga Shanghai is higher than that of the Model 3, which is produced at 800 vehicles per day.
Tesla has already sold out of the entry-level Model Y available capacity in China earlier this month, and the company has revealed that new orders won’t be delivered until early 2022.
