Unveiling of 2025 Tesla Model Y's Juniper Update: A Game-Changer on the Horizon
The Exciting 2025 Tesla Model Y ‘Juniper’ Update Unveiling Edges Closer
The much-awaited 2025 Tesla Model Y ‘Juniper’ facelift is inching closer to launch as another camouflaged prototype has been spotted on US soil. The Model Y was seen cruising in California’s Bay Area with extensive camouflage, concealing the visual changes speculated for this dynamic electric SUV.
Rumoured Changes and Updates
The alleged changes to the Model Y hint at a more angular design for the tail lights, similar to the updated Model 3. This isn’t surprising, considering the striking resemblance between the two electric vehicles. Leaked images of the Model Y Juniper suggest it will feature a full-width rear light bar connecting its tail lights, setting it apart from its sibling, the Model 3.
Interior Overhaul
On the inside, the new Model Y is expected to exhibit refined aesthetics with perforated leather or leatherette upholstery on the seats, suede-like trim on the doors, and a sleek strip of ambient lighting. The Model Y is also predicted to follow the Model 3’s footsteps in opting for steering wheel buttons over traditional steering column stalks. Not to forget, the gear selector is likely to be relocated to its touchscreen, a feature added to the Model 3 along with a rear climate control screen, suspension, and electric motor tweaks for amplified driving range.
Release Speculations
Despite earlier reports claiming an end-of-year debut, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has clarified that the Model Y Juniper won’t make its grand entrance until 2025.
Sales and Market Performance
Despite being Australia’s best-selling EV, the Tesla Model Y has seen a decline in sales by approximately 25 per cent from January to July 2024 compared to the same period in the previous year. Even after aggressive price cuts during the first half of 2024, the total number of Model Ys delivered to Australian buyers dropped from 17,332 in July 2023 to 13,869.
This drop in deliveries comes despite the overall EV market witnessing an uptick in deliveries owing to the arrival of more models and brands in Australia.
Conclusion
While the much-anticipated Tesla Model Y Juniper is still a while away from its grand unveiling, the buzz around it continues to grow. With its striking visual updates and interior refinements, it’s safe to say that the 2025 Tesla Model Y Juniper is worth the wait.
