TESLA MODEL Y REFRESH FULL TOUR! MY FIRST LOOK AT NEW JUNIPER CHANGES

EV Channels Review

The Tesla Model Y Refresh, codenamed 'Juniper,' receives a comprehensive update, particularly evident in its exterior styling, which adopts a more modern, squared-off aesthetic inspired by the Cybertruck. The reviewer highlights significant improvements in the rear lighting system, a redesigned front bumper with an integrated camera and washer, and new wheel options aimed at better aerodynamics and curb rash concealment. Inside, the cabin mirrors the Model 3's refresh with improved door cards, ambient lighting, a new steering wheel, and the return of a traditional turn signal stalk, a decision the reviewer questions but appreciates for usability. Ventilated front seats are a welcome addition. While the reviewer praises the enhanced interior materials and the practical additions like the drainable front trunk, they express disappointment in the lack of charging speed and battery capacity innovation, noting that it lags behind competitors. Despite this, the Model Y remains a strong contender due to its efficiency, the Supercharger network, and its overall practicality as a family vehicle.
