EV Daily | Tesla Eyes Model Y Relaunch in Europe & Genesis Tests High-Performance GV60 Magma

【Tesla】

Tesla is preparing to launch a new product in Europe and the Middle East, likely the Model Y Performance, which was discontinued after a Model Y refresh earlier this year. Production might have started at Gigafactory Berlin. The Model Y Performance version is less popular and may represent less than 10% of Model Y deliveries.

Tesla is testing self-driving features in The Boring Company's tunnels in Las Vegas, but full autonomy is still distant. Tesla aims for its Robotaxi service to cover half of the US by year-end, but its current fleet is small and supervised. Tesla's self-driving technology has not yet achieved full autonomy, unlike competitors like Waymo.
