Tesla Model Y gets quicker in Germany: Premium AWD in 4.6 s, Performance in 3.5 s. What the Romanian configurator shows
Tesla changed the Model Y acceleration figures in its German configurator: Premium AWD drops from 4.8 to 4.6 s and Performance from 3.6 to 3.5 s. In Romania, Premium Long Range AWD already shows 4.6 s, 622 km WLTP and €53,990.
After the Model 3, it's the Model Y's turn. According to "Ronny Golisch", Tesla updated the acceleration figures in its German configurator this morning.
What changed in Germany
| Model Y (Germany) | Before | Now |
|---|---|---|
| Premium AWD | 4.8 s | 4.6 s |
| Performance | 3.6 s | 3.5 s |
The figures are 0–100 km/h. "Ronny Golisch" says a new motor may be behind the change, but Tesla hasn't confirmed that. It's not yet clear whether this is a hardware or software change, or whether it applies to cars already delivered.
What Romania shows
We also checked Tesla's Romanian configurator. Premium Long Range AWD already shows 4.6 s, the new German figure.
| Model Y (Romania) | Starting price | WLTP range | 0–100 km/h |
|---|---|---|---|
| Premium Long Range AWD | €53,990 | 622 km | 4.6 s |
| Rear-wheel drive (RWD) | €40,990 | 525 km | 7.2 s |
Our screenshot doesn't include the Performance, so we haven't yet confirmed whether it's down to 3.5 s in Romania too. We'll update once we check.
The Model Y was also Germany's best-selling car in September, and the quicker sprint comes with no announced price change.
