The Model Y Performance's dual-motor all-wheel drive set-up propels the vehicle from 0 to 100km/h in an impressive 3.5 seconds, making it 0.2 seconds faster than the pre-update model. Top speed for the Model Y Performance is electronically limited to 250km/h.

The Model Y Performance also offers a Stability Assist Mode, allowing for customization of the traction control, and is equipped with a new adaptive suspension system for improved stability and responsiveness.

Tesla has not disclosed any details about the Model Y Performance's release date or pricing for European markets. The search results do not provide the name of the person responsible for the production of the new Model Y Performance in Germany.

In summary, the Model Y Performance is a super-fast and stylish upgrade to Tesla's popular Model Y SUV. With improved specifications, sleek design, and impressive acceleration, it's set to impress European drivers. Stay tuned for more updates on the Model Y Performance's release and pricing.
