"The lightning-fast trim level of the all-electric crossover packs a variety of new improvements, including more range and better acceleration, thanks to aerodynamic improvements and other performance-based changes. It was initially launched in Europe, and then it made its way to the United States. However, it will soon be available in a new market: Canada. Raj Jegannathan, a Tesla executive, confirmed on Friday that the company would be bringing its Performance trim of the Model Y to the Canadian market early next year:"
"Interestingly, the Model Y Performances that enter the Canadian market will likely come from Gigafactory Berlin and not Gigafactory Texas, even though it is logistically more advantageous. There is a 25 percent tariff on U.S.-built vehicles currently, and Tesla has been sending Germany-built Model Y vehicles to Canada to avoid this and keep prices reasonable for customers. Some Model Y owners in Canada have already confirmed that their units came from the German production facility, not the United States."
Tesla will introduce the Model Y Performance to the Canadian market in Q1 2026. The Performance trim delivers increased driving range and quicker acceleration through aerodynamic enhancements and other performance-oriented changes. Production units destined for Canada will likely be sourced from Gigafactory Berlin rather than Gigafactory Texas to avoid a 25 percent tariff on U.S.-built vehicles. Some Canadian Model Y owners have already received Germany-built units. U.S. deliveries of the Model Y Performance are scheduled for late November or early December. The vehicle features revised front and rear fascias, a performance carbon spoiler, 21″ Arachnid wheels, adaptive damping, and new Drive Modes.
