NEW TESLA MODEL Y 2025

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Tesla Model Y has officially launched, but it's not the significant 'Juniper' refresh many anticipated. Instead, Tesla has quietly introduced a model year update that brings subtle changes rather than a complete overhaul. Key updates include minor range improvements for certain configurations, with the Long Range RWD now achieving 337 miles and the Long Range AWD with 20-inch wheels seeing a slight decrease. Visually, the 2025 model is nearly indistinguishable from its predecessors, with the primary identifiers being newer color options like Quicksilver and Ultra Red, and the darker Gemini wheel covers now standard. The reviewer highlights that Tesla's continuous update approach means current models feature the latest Hardware 4 camera system and processor, offering future-proofing. However, the major 'Juniper' refresh, expected in early 2025, is anticipated to bring significant upgrades such as ventilated seats, RGB ambient lighting, a rear display, and potentially new body configurations including a 6 or 7-seater option, and design elements inspired by the Cybertruck. The current advice is to buy now if incentives and pricing are a priority, as deals are exceptionally good, but to wait for the Juniper refresh if advanced features and a more substantial update are desired, despite potential price increases.
