Tesla offered the Model Y Performance in other markets before the United States, with deliveries starting in Europe earlier this month.
The launch of the Model Y Performance in the United States is expected to add a few thousand units to next quarter’s delivery figures. However, Tesla is doing customers a favor by launching it ahead of the tax credit’s expiration at midnight.
