2022 Tesla Model Y Performance and Engine

Dual AC Electric Motors and All-Wheel Drive

The Performance trim takes the already-impressive Model Y and dials everything up. Powered by dual AC electric motors driving all four wheels, this SUV delivers supercar-level acceleration in a family-friendly package. Tesla quotes 0-60 mph in around 3.5 seconds for this configuration — that's quicker than most sports cars you'll encounter on the freeway.

Power is managed through a single-speed fixed-gear transmission, which means instant torque delivery from a dead stop with zero lag. The AWD system constantly monitors traction across both axles, making this an exceptionally confident drive whether you're merging onto the 710 freeway or heading up into the San Gabriel Mountains on a weekend getaway. Regenerative braking also helps recapture energy on deceleration, extending your range with every mile driven.

Tesla Model Y Features and Interior

Performance Trim Upgrades and Tech

The Model Y Performance isn't just faster — it's more refined. The Performance trim includes sport-tuned suspension lowered for better handling, performance wheels, and upgraded brakes designed to handle the demands of spirited driving. Inside, the cabin is defined by Tesla's famously minimalist design centered around a large 15-inch touchscreen that controls virtually every function of the vehicle.

Over-the-air software updates mean this car continues to improve after purchase — a feature no combustion vehicle can match. Autopilot is standard, offering adaptive cruise control, lane centering, and automatic lane changes. The Model Y also offers a panoramic glass roof, heated front and rear seats, a premium audio system, and a spacious cargo area that rivals traditional crossover SUVs. Seating for five adults is genuinely comfortable, with an airy, open feel thanks to the expansive roof glass.

Tesla Model Y Reliability and Ownership

What Owners and Experts Say

Tesla ownership is a genuinely different experience from any other vehicle brand. Maintenance costs are dramatically lower — no oil changes, fewer brake replacements due to regenerative braking, and no exhaust system to worry about. The Model Y has become one of the best-selling vehicles in California, and for good reason: it fits the lifestyle of Southern California drivers perfectly with home charging convenience and carpool lane access for clean-air vehicles.

At this mileage, prospective buyers should review the vehicle's battery health, which Tesla can report through its app and service history. Many high-mileage Teslas retain 80-90% of their original battery capacity. The electric motors themselves are extremely robust. It's always wise to request a pre-purchase inspection, and CARTIME encourages buyers to review the vehicle history on VIN 7SAYGDEF3NF323151 before making a decision.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2022 Tesla Model Y Performance a good buy?

It combines genuine sports car acceleration with SUV practicality, advanced autonomous driving features, and Tesla's unique over-the-air update capability. For California drivers especially, it's an outstanding daily driver.

How many miles is too many on a used Tesla Model Y?

Unlike gas-powered vehicles, Teslas can reliably function well past 150,000 to 200,000 miles with proper care. The key metric to evaluate is battery health rather than mileage alone. At 109,310 miles, this Model Y Performance is firmly in the high-mileage used category, but Tesla's drivetrain longevity means it still has substantial life ahead.

What does the Tesla Model Y Performance trim include over the Long Range?

The Performance trim adds a lowered sport suspension, upgraded performance brakes, 21-inch Überturbine wheels, and a faster 0-60 time compared to the Long Range model. It's built for drivers who want the most dynamic driving experience the Model Y platform can offer.

Does a used Tesla still get software updates?

Yes. Tesla pushes over-the-air software updates to all vehicles on its network regardless of age or ownership status. This means features, performance improvements, and safety enhancements can continue to be added to this 2022 Model Y after you purchase it.

Can I charge a Tesla at home in South Gate, CA?

Absolutely. Most Tesla owners charge overnight using a Level 2 home charger (240V), which can fully charge the Model Y overnight. Southern California Edison serves the South Gate area and offers EV rate plans designed to reduce the cost of home charging during off-peak hours.
