The Hype Is Real
Picture this: me at Tims, sipping a double-double, scrolling Tesla’s socials, and BOOM—there’s a “Spoiler Alert” post showing a spoiler. Tesla’s never subtle, so it’s safe to say something big’s happening tomorrow, August 29th. All signs are pointing to the 2026 Model Y Performance making its big comeback. The idea that I could wake up tomorrow and actually place an order? That’s got me more excited than finding no one in line at the drive-thru.
Berlin’s Got It Dialed In
Giga Berlin’s been on fire lately. They just built their 100,000th refreshed Model Y this year. That’s insane. Production’s ramped so high it’s like they’ve got a hockey team’s worth of engineers working overtime. If there’s any factory ready to crank out a high-performance Y for the world, it’s Berlin.
Why This Matters to Canadians
Let’s be real: Tesla’s competition is heating up globally, but a Performance Y would be a serious flex. Canadians love versatility, and this SUV screams “family hauler by day, rocket ship by night.” Imagine blasting down the Sea-to-Sky Highway or heading out on a winter road trip, knowing you’ve got one of the fastest EVs around.
What It Might Pack Under the Hood
Tesla hasn’t officially spilled the beans, but if it mirrors the Model 3 Performance, we’re looking at around 380 kW (510 hp) and 750 Nm of torque. With the refreshed design, we might see 0–100 km/h in roughly 3.1 seconds. Not bad for something with enough cargo space for a Costco run.

Tomorrow’s the Big Day
August 29th could be the day I finally smash that “Order” button. Will Tesla open Canadian orders right away? Who knows. But I’ll be refreshing my Tesla account like crazy with a box of Timbits at my side.

Final Thoughts
This is massive. A Berlin-built, refreshed, rocket-fast Model Y Performance that we might be able to order here in Canada as soon as tomorrow? Unreal. I can already picture road-tripping across BC, stopping at Superchargers, and flexing that new spoiler every chance I get. Tesla’s really about to shake things up, and I’m here for it.
