Tesla has updated the Model Y in Australia and New Zealand for MY27, with a lower starting price for the Performance, new finishes, Power Share capability and quicker acceleration for selected all-wheel-drive variants.

The 2027 Tesla Model Y Performance now starts from $84,900 before on-road costs in Australia, while New Zealand pricing starts from NZ$95,900 excluding on-road costs.

Tesla says the Model Y Performance is now being produced at Gigafactory Shanghai, with the updated model also gaining Glacier Blue paint and a Zen Grey interior option.

Paint is now treated as an individual paid option on the Model Y Performance, in line with other variants.

The Model Y Premium Long Range All-Wheel Drive now completes the 0 to 100km/h sprint in 4.3 seconds, while the Model Y L Premium All-Wheel Drive is now listed at 4.5 seconds.

Power Share is now available across all new Model 3 and Model Y vehicles, using the vehicle battery and a Tesla Outlet Adapter to power devices and appliances.

Tesla lists space heaters, e-bikes and power tools as examples of compatible use cases, whether at home, on a worksite or away from fixed power.

The Tesla Outlet Adapter is sold separately through the Tesla Shop.

Power Share is limited to new MY27 vehicles and cannot be retrofitted to existing vehicles.

The Model Y update arrives as Tesla continues to lean on its mid-size electric SUV in Australia, with CarSauce previously covering the Model Y's August sales performance.

The MY27 updates are available to configure now in Australia and New Zealand.
