Tesla has chosen an ideal schedule to pause the production of the Model Y in Shanghai.
Tesla has decided to take a short break in the production of its Model Y at the Shanghai Gigafactory. For three weeks, from January 22 to February 14, 2025, the assembly lines will be in maintenance mode. The goal? To give a fresh update to the production tool to welcome the brand’s new flagship, the new “Juniper” version, launched just recently on January 10.
This pause coincides exactly with the Chinese New Year, a period when most factories across the country slow down. Clever, isn’t it? Tesla is taking advantage of this traditional calm to reorganize its workshops without significantly disrupting its overall schedule. And all of this, of course, to prepare for the grand arrival of the new Model Y.
The Juniper represents a major evolution for this iconic electric SUV. Its design has been redesigned for a more modern and streamlined look, inspired by the bold lines of the Cybertruck. The chassis has been enhanced with several improvements to make driving even more dynamic and smooth. The interior has been completely revised, adopting a more minimalist approach similar to the new Model 3, with the addition of a rear passenger screen. Currently, only the Propulsion and Long Range versions are available, but a Performance variant should arrive very soon. The advantage with these electric cars, which are more like Lego than a gas engine, is that you can add or exchange modules to create a new version. The excitement is already tremendous, with over 50,000 orders recorded in just 24 hours after the launch.
Tesla is not stopping there. Similar adjustments have already begun at Giga Berlin, paving the way for the new Model Y in Europe. An official announcement is expected soon in North America. With such a well-thought-out strategy, an optimized schedule, and cutting-edge innovations, Tesla confirms that nothing has been left to chance for its Model Y Juniper.
