The new Tesla Model Y ready to conquer the world

Tesla Model Y Juniper

According to Chinese media, the Shanghai factory is ready to begin mass production of the new refreshed Tesla Model Y.

It has become urgent to modernize the Model Y whose age is starting to show in the face of increasingly modern competition. Sure, there is not yet a real rival to match the Californian SUV, but the cumulative sales of competitors are dangerously eroding Tesla‘s leading position. BYD has for the first time this year surpassed the sales volumes of the American giant. So, to stay at the forefront, some novelty must be introduced, even if purely aesthetic.

Technically, there will inevitably be updates, such as amortization or improved aerodynamics. Onboard, significant advances are also expected in materials and assembly, which are currently very disappointing, as well as in soundproofing. But the latter is costly in terms of weight, and therefore in range… And the obvious disappearance of control knobs won’t help improve the aesthetic appeal of the vehicle.

Elon Musk has repeated, even sworn: there will be no evolution of the Model Y in 2024. A way to maintain sales of the old version, but for once, an accurate announcement since it is now certain that the first Model Y Juniper will appear in 2025. It’s even worth noting that no photos of the final design have leaked, which is a real achievement!

Now, our Chinese colleagues claim that after the production of the first pre-production units in October 2024, the assembly line of the Shanghai Gigafactory is ready to operate at full capacity. In January, the lights will turn green, and the first deliveries could occur as early as the first quarter of 2025.

In fact, we are witnessing a remake of the renewal of the Model 3, initially launched in Asia, then in Europe, and finally in the United States. This choice had sparked very aggressive comments from American customers, annoyed by being behind others even though their brand is American. But money has no smell… nor passport.
