Tesla's Major Changes For 2024 New Model Y Surprise

This video provides a comprehensive overview of potential Tesla updates and changes anticipated for 2024, focusing heavily on rumors and leaks surroun... ding the upcoming shareholder event. The presenter discusses the possibility of a Model Y 'Juniper' refresh, though acknowledges conflicting information from Elon Musk himself, suggesting either a full refresh, incremental updates, or no refresh this year. The review also touches upon potential discounts and incentives for the current Model Y.

Breaking: New Tesla Model Y Juniper Release

Breaking: New Tesla Model Y Juniper Release

The video discusses the potential imminent launch of the Tesla Model Y 'Juniper' refresh, citing various leaks and rumors, including product... ion line adjustments in Shanghai and promotional materials in France. However, it also presents Elon Musk's denial of a 2024 refresh, suggesting that any changes might be incremental updates rather than a full overhaul. The reviewer highlights the ambiguity, noting Tesla's history of contradicting rumors that later prove true. Additionally, the video touches upon the fluctuating inventory discounts, the return of special APR financing for the Model 3, and the shift in the Model Y's prominence on Tesla's homepage. The reviewer expresses a degree of uncertainty and anticipation regarding these developments, particularly the possibility of a new Model Y launch impacting sales and market competition. less
New Tesla Model Y Juniper 2024

New Tesla Model Y Juniper 2024

The 2024 Tesla Model Y Juniper refresh is presented as a significant overhaul, aligning closely with the Model 3's "Highland" update. W... hile exterior design changes are minimal, focusing on updated front and rear fascias, the interior is set to receive substantial upgrades. Key enhancements include a quieter cabin with improved suspension and acoustic glass, RGB ambient lighting, a rear passenger screen, ventilated front seats, a new HVAC system, and a brighter, more responsive central display. The removal of physical stalks for gear selection and turn signals, replaced by screen controls and smart shift, is also noted. Potential exclusive features for the Model Y Juniper, such as a front bumper camera and possibly 48-volt architecture or steer-by-wire, are discussed as exciting possibilities, though their inclusion remains speculative. The reviewer strongly advises waiting for the Juniper refresh over purchasing the current Model Y, citing the extensive improvements as well worth the wait, with a potential launch anticipated in late 2024 or early 2025. less
Warning: Tesla’s Huge Model Y Problem

Warning: Tesla’s Huge Model Y Problem

The Tesla Model Y, despite being the world's best-selling car, is facing significant sales challenges in 2024. The reviewer highlights that while... the current model is the most refined version of its four-year-old design, it's no longer competitive enough to maintain its previous sales momentum. Tesla's attempts to boost sales through discounts, financing, and incentives are proving insufficient, with production cuts planned at Giga Shanghai. Key issues identified include pricing, a lack of competitiveness against rivals, and potential buyers waiting for the upcoming 'Juniper Refresh.' The reviewer suggests Tesla should bring Model 3's interior features (cooled seats, better acoustics, screens) to the Model Y, offer a more affordable base model with significant concessions, standardize features like powered frunks and enhanced autopilot, and include a charging cable. The overall sentiment is that while the Model Y is a good car, it feels like a 'forgotten second child' and urgently needs updates to remain compelling, especially with the new refresh on the horizon. less
Breaking: Tesla's Bad News For New Model Y

Breaking: Tesla's Bad News For New Model Y

This video provides a comprehensive update on Tesla's Model Y, focusing on upcoming changes and potential customer concerns. The "bad news&q... uot; primarily revolves around the expiration of the 0.99% special APR financing on May 31st and revised loan term limitations, coupled with a significant production cut at the Giga Shanghai plant, indicating Tesla's efforts to boost flagging Model Y sales amidst a general EV market caution and anticipation for the "Juniper" refresh. On the positive side, the introduction of a new Lunar Silver paint option for Model S and X is highlighted, along with the availability of darker Gemini wheels for the Model Y Long Range. The review also touches upon Tesla's software updates, including the spring update and potential FSD improvements, and offers a glimpse into the unreleased Cybertruck-inspired robo-taxi. The "Juniper" refresh is presented as a key factor influencing current purchasing decisions, with spy shots and leaked component information suggesting an advanced stage of testing and a potential late 2024 or early 2025 release. less
New Tesla Model 3/Y - I Found The Best Accessories

New Tesla Model 3/Y - I Found The Best Accessories

This video provides a comprehensive guide for Tesla owners, focusing on essential settings and must-have accessories. The reviewer highlights key sett... ings like enabling Autopilot, Walk-Away Door Lock confirmation, and Automatic Blind Spot Camera, emphasizing their practical benefits. A significant portion is dedicated to accessories, with strong endorsements for screen protectors (citing personal experience with damage), high-quality floor mats from 3D Mats and 3W Liners, and MagBak's wireless charger and rim protectors, which are praised for their seamless integration and problem-solving capabilities. Other recommended accessories include RPLATE, frunk/trunk lights, a roof sunshade, and a dedicated dash cam system, with the reviewer noting the limitations of Tesla's built-in cameras. The video also touches on Sentry Mode battery drain and stopping modes, offering practical advice for optimizing the Tesla ownership experience. less
New Model Y Spotted - Launch Today?!

New Model Y Spotted - Launch Today?!

The video discusses Tesla's strategic approach to refreshing the Model Y in 2024, acknowledging its status as the world's best-selling vehic... le but noting a recent sales slowdown attributed to its aging design compared to newer Tesla models and competitors. The presenter highlights two potential updates: a major 'Juniper' refresh, expected late 2024 or early 2025, which will bring significant design and feature upgrades akin to the Model 3's Highland refresh (including ambient lighting, a rear screen, and ventilated seats), and a smaller, surprise 'mini-refresh' that appears to be launching imminently in the US. This mini-refresh, mirroring updates seen in China, includes darker wheel covers and potentially interior material changes, serving as a stopgap until the Juniper refresh is ready. The reviewer advises that while buying now might be attractive due to current incentives (0.99% financing, lease deals, free FSD transfers), waiting for the mini-refresh offers some visual updates, and holding out for the full Juniper refresh promises the most substantial improvements. The presenter emphasizes Tesla's tendency to downplay upcoming changes and encourages viewers to monitor official channels for launch announcements. less
New Tesla Model 3 - Wait To Buy?

New Tesla Model 3 - Wait To Buy?

The reviewer compares the older, pre-refresh Model 3 (specifically a 2022 RWD) with the new 2024 Highland refresh. While acknowledging the new Model 3... is superior in most aspects, offering a more refined interior with ambient lighting, a rear screen, ventilated seats, and improved suspension, the older model retains significant appeal, especially in the used market. Key advantages of the older model highlighted are the physical stalks for driving controls, which have been removed in the new version, and its potential for significant cost savings. The reviewer emphasizes that functionally, the older models (particularly 2022 onwards with AMD Ryzen processors) offer a very similar Tesla experience, including access to FSD features. The primary drawback of the new Model 3 is its higher price and lack of federal tax credit eligibility when purchased outright, making the older, used Model 3 a compelling value proposition, provided the battery health is confirmed via services like Recurrent. less
New Tesla Model Y 2024 - Surprise Discount Is Here!

New Tesla Model Y 2024 - Surprise Discount Is Here!

The reviewer provides a detailed owner's perspective comparing the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y in 2024, highlighting key differences beyond initial... pricing. While the Model Y offers superior storage and versatility, making it ideal for hauling and practicality, the refreshed Model 3 stands out with enhanced creature comforts, a more luxurious and modern interior, cooled seats, and a quieter cabin. Performance-wise, the Model 3 Performance is noted as superior to its Model Y counterpart. A significant factor is the federal tax credit, which currently makes the Model Y more financially accessible for most buyers due to its eligibility across all trims, whereas only the Model 3 Performance qualifies. The reviewer leans towards the Model 3 for its premium, tech-forward experience and comfort, especially in performance variants, while acknowledging the Model Y's practical advantages and cost-effectiveness for those prioritizing value and space. less
Tesla's Biggest Announcement - New 2024 Models!

Tesla's Biggest Announcement - New 2024 Models!

The video provides a comprehensive overview of recent Tesla announcements and updates, focusing on the Model Y and upcoming events. A significant reve... al is the new 2024 Model Y Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive, boasting 320 miles of range and a $2,000 price increase over the standard RWD. However, it comes with trade-offs like slower acceleration and a less premium audio system. The exclusive Quicksilver paint option is now available for Model Y Long Range AWD and Performance trims in the US. The Cybertruck receives a substantial software update, though delivery estimates remain uncertain and only high-end Foundation Series models are currently available. The video also touches on the botched FSD free trial rollout and the anticipated Spring Update, which includes hidden references to Amazon Music integration and a potential AI virtual assistant, possibly leveraging X's Grok. The reviewer highlights the "Test Fridge" as a notable accessory for the Model Y. The upcoming June 13th shareholder meeting at Giga Texas is anticipated to be turbulent, with potential discussions on a lower-cost Tesla model, FSD/robotaxi developments, and Model 3 battery restructuring. less
New Model Y Is Here | Surprise Launch!

New Model Y Is Here | Surprise Launch!

Tesla has introduced a new Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) variant for the 2024 Model Y, aiming to offer increased range (320 miles) over the previo... us standard range model. However, this new variant comes with notable compromises. It retains the less powerful seven-speaker sound system found in the standard range model, lacks the seven-seat option, and offers reduced performance compared to the AWD and Performance trims. The reviewer highlights that while the price has increased by $2,000, it still qualifies for the full federal tax credit, potentially bringing the effective price below $38,000. The video also touches upon the potential for Tesla to software-unlock additional range in older standard range models for a fee and mentions the upcoming 'Juniper' refresh, expected later in the year or in 2025. The reviewer's verdict suggests that despite the added range, the compromises in audio and performance might make other trims a better investment for some buyers. less
Tesla's Big Announcement - New Models Are Here!

Tesla's Big Announcement - New Models Are Here!

The video provides a comprehensive overview of Tesla's significantly revised 2024 strategy, driven by recent layoffs and project cancellations. T... he reviewer highlights the updated Model 3 lineup as a strong point, particularly the Performance trim, which is praised for its value, especially with the federal tax credit. Conversely, the Model S and Model X are noted as potentially deprioritized, with a long-hinted refresh now uncertain. The Spring Update is lauded for bringing highly requested features like Audible integration and Sentry Mode event viewing, delivered sooner than expected. The upcoming Robo Taxi reveal on August 8th is positioned as Tesla's top priority, alongside accelerated plans for a cheaper, sub-$30,000 Tesla, possibly a hatchback variant of the Model 3. The Model Y Juniper refresh timeline is uncertain, with possibilities of acceleration or compromise. Overall, the focus has shifted heavily towards software, AI, and autonomous driving, with less emphasis on immediate hardware changes. less
Tesla Model X 2024 Review

Tesla Model X 2024 Review

The 2024 Tesla Model X Long Range is presented as an exceptionally compelling option, particularly due to recent significant price cuts and federal ta... x credits, bringing its effective price to around $70,000. The reviewer, a former Model Y owner and current Model X driver, strongly advocates for the Model X over the Model Y for those seeking a more premium and comfortable experience. Key advantages highlighted include the unique Falcon Wing doors, powered doors on all other openings (though front doors have a limited opening range due to sensor removal), significantly more cargo space (frunk, trunk, and sub-trunk), a larger 17-inch infotainment screen with a secondary driver display, and a more comfortable ride thanks to active air suspension and improved acoustics. While the Model X is more expensive than the Model Y, the reviewer argues the added luxury, space, and features justify the cost, especially with current incentives. Potential buyers are cautioned to stay under the $80,000 MSRP limit to qualify for the full tax credit, which restricts certain options like wheel or seat upgrades and limits configurations to 5-seaters. Despite upcoming refreshes for both models, the current Model X Long Range is deemed an excellent value and a strong contender for a family hauler or road trip vehicle. less
New Tesla Model Y 2024 - Buy Now or Wait?

New Tesla Model Y 2024 - Buy Now or Wait?

The reviewer advises purchasing the 2024 Tesla Model Y now, despite the upcoming 'Juniper' refresh. Key reasons include current record-low p... ricing, enhanced by a $7,500 federal tax credit, making it a significant value proposition. The current model is highlighted as a 'perfected formula' benefiting from years of production improvements, offering better build quality and ride comfort than earlier versions. While it lacks some new features like RGB ambient lighting and ventilated seats found in the Model 3, it retains essential hardware for future updates and offers excellent range and performance. The reviewer also points out that the new refresh might introduce controversial changes like a stockless design and potential cost-cutting measures, which could be deal-breakers for some buyers. Additionally, the timeline for the Juniper refresh is uncertain, potentially pushing availability to late 2024 or early 2025. As an alternative, the Model X Long Range is presented as an attractively priced option with immediate availability and additional benefits. less
Tesla Launches New Model Y

Tesla Launches New Model Y

The video provides a comprehensive update on Tesla's recent announcements, focusing heavily on the new Model 3 Performance and the anticipated Mo... del Y Juniper refresh. The reviewer highlights the Model 3 Performance's official launch, noting its refined design, active suspension, and sport seats, comparable to the Model S Plaid. A significant point of interest is its pricing, which, after factoring in the federal tax credit, makes it cheaper than the Model 3 Long Range, a surprising development. The video also touches upon the North American launch of the Quicksilver color for the Model Y, available only through existing inventory. Price adjustments are discussed, including a $2,000 cut across Model Y, S, and X, and a reduction in Full Self-Driving subscription costs. The reviewer expresses skepticism about purchasing FSD outright, favoring the subscription model due to its flexibility and dynamic pricing. The upcoming robotaxi platform, CyberCab, and a revised strategy for a lower-cost vehicle, potentially launching sooner than expected by leveraging existing platforms, are also covered. The Model Y Juniper refresh is presented as a priority, with a possibility of launching in late 2024 due to increased competition and consumer demand. less
New 2024 Tesla Models - Buy Now or Wait?

New 2024 Tesla Models - Buy Now or Wait?

The reviewer provides a comprehensive guide on whether to buy a Tesla now or wait, acknowledging that while current Teslas are excellent vehicles, sig... nificant upgrades are on the horizon for several models. The Model 3 is highlighted as a strong "buy now" option due to its recent refresh and value, despite lacking federal tax credits in the US. The Model S and Model X are flagged for potential upcoming refreshes with features like a front bumper camera and ambient lighting, making waiting advisable for those interested. The Cybertruck remains difficult to acquire, with long waits and a premium "Foundation Series" price. The Model Y, despite its popularity and current attractiveness with incentives, is strongly recommended to wait for the "Juniper" refresh within the next 12 months, which promises significant improvements in comfort, design, and features, mirroring the Model 3's updates. The reviewer also offers general buying advice, emphasizing end-of-quarter purchases for potential incentives and the use of referral links. less
New Tesla Model Y Refresh

New Tesla Model Y Refresh

This video discusses a potential "mini refresh" for the Tesla Model Y, anticipated before the larger "Project Juniper" overhaul ex... pected in early 2025. The reviewer highlights that the current Model Y feels dated compared to the Model 3, particularly lacking features like ventilated seats and a rear screen. The proposed interim updates aim to bridge this gap, drawing inspiration from the Model 3 Highland and Cybertruck. Key potential changes include replacing the dated wood trim with a soft-touch fabric, similar to the Chinese market version, and possibly incorporating an RGB light strip. New exclusive paint colors, such as Quicksilver, are also strongly suggested for the North American market, with evidence pointing to mass production at Giga Texas. Darker wheel covers for the 19-inch Gemini wheels are another possibility. While the "Project Juniper" refresh is the main event, these smaller, quicker-to-implement changes are seen as crucial for maintaining competitiveness and boosting sales amidst declining enthusiasm and a gap before the full redesign. Pricing remains a dynamic factor, with recent $2,000 price cuts noted, alongside the continued emphasis on the federal tax credit. less
Tesla's Biggest Announcement - It's Finally Here!

Tesla's Biggest Announcement - It's Finally Here!

This video provides a comprehensive overview of recent significant developments at Tesla, covering both positive and negative news. The reviewer detai... ls Tesla's massive layoffs, the cancellation of the cheaper $25,000 model in favor of a full pivot to autonomy and the Robotaxi, and the discontinuation of inventory discounts. On a more positive note, the video highlights upcoming features for the Model 3 Performance, including an adaptive suspension, forged wheels, improved track mode, and a performance interior. It also details a substantial spring software update bringing Cybertruck-inspired visual changes, auto-shift beta, Audible integration, and an automatic trunk feature for newer models and the Model 3 Highland. The reviewer expresses excitement for the software updates and the imminent launch of the Model 3 Performance, while acknowledging the controversial strategic shift towards autonomy. less
Tesla's Bad News For 2024

Tesla's Bad News For 2024

This video discusses several significant updates and potential challenges for Tesla in 2024. Key points include the introduction of new plaid seats fo... r the Model S, which may foreshadow similar upgrades for performance variants of other models, though the lack of a refresh for the Model X is noted as peculiar. A notable addition to the lineup is the Model Y Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive, offering an estimated 600 km (approx. 340 miles) of range, positioning it as the new range king for the Model Y. However, the rollout of this variant is described as geographically limited and somewhat confusing. The video also highlights Tesla's volatile pricing strategy, with a warning that prices are expected to continue rising, advising potential buyers to purchase sooner rather than later. A significant price reduction in the Full Self-Driving (FSD) subscription, from $199 to $99 per month, is presented as a positive development for consumers, though frustration persists among those who purchased the permanent package. The future of the rumored $25,000 "Model 2" is cast into doubt, with reports suggesting Tesla is prioritizing the autonomous robotaxi platform, slated for an August 8th unveiling. Finally, Cybertruck deliveries have been temporarily halted due to an issue with the accelerator pedal cover, and a "Project Juniper" refresh for the Model Y is confirmed to be delayed until late 2024 or early 2025, with Tesla actively discouraging showroom employees from mentioning it to push current inventory. less
New Tesla Model Y - It's Here!

New Tesla Model Y - It's Here!

The reviewer highlights Tesla's recent shift towards customer feedback, introducing several key improvements across their lineup. The most signif... icant update for the Model Y is the introduction of a powered frunk, a long-requested feature that addresses previous manual closing issues and potential damage risks. Additionally, Tesla is expanding paint color options, including new stock colors like Quicksilver and Midnight Cherry, and offering in-house professional wrapping services. The video also touches upon the controversial aspects of Tesla's Vision-based system and the high cost of Full Self-Driving, noting the reintroduction of Enhanced Autopilot and subscription options as positive steps. A major announcement is the new Rear-Wheel Drive Long Range Model Y, boasting an impressive estimated range of around 370 miles, significantly exceeding current US offerings. The reviewer also speculates on an upcoming Model Y Performance variant, potentially named 'Ludicrous,' which is expected to feature enhanced suspension, sports seats, and a powerful drivetrain, drawing parallels to the Model 3's performance upgrades. The reviewer concludes that these changes, particularly the new Model Y variants and feature additions, indicate Tesla is actively listening to its customers and improving its offerings. less
Tesla Cancels New Model Y

Tesla Cancels New Model Y

The video discusses several key Tesla updates, including the reported cancellation of a lower-cost Model Y refresh, which has reportedly angered fans.... It also highlights the upcoming launch of new Model Y colors (Quicksilver and Midnight Cherry) in North America and provides a detailed look at the leaked Model 3 Performance 'Ludicrous' variant, expected to feature a sub-3-second 0-60 time. The review touches on Tesla's disappointing Q1 delivery numbers, attributing them to factors like the aging Model Y design compared to the refreshed Model 3, rising electricity costs, loss of federal tax credits for the Model 3, and increased competition. Three potential solutions are proposed: making Enhanced Autopilot features standard, improving basic Autopilot, and addressing the appeal of the Model Y. The report also delves into the controversy surrounding the cancellation of the cheaper Model 2, suggesting resources are being shifted to the robo-taxi project. less
15 Tesla Tips + Tricks! (2024)

15 Tesla Tips + Tricks! (2024)

This video delves into 15 lesser-known features and tips for Tesla owners, aiming to enhance their ownership experience. The reviewer highlights sever... al practical functions, including an improved Auto Park system (though noting its superiority in newer models without ultrasonic sensors), and a third-party "Better Theater" website that expands streaming options beyond Tesla's native offerings. The convenience of sharing destinations and YouTube videos directly from a phone to the car is praised, as is the ability to customize the lock sound and utilize the service mode for diagnostics. The reviewer also demonstrates how to add a fifth quick control icon to the mobile app and customize the left scroll wheel functions for quicker access to features like the camera or wiper speed. A significant portion is dedicated to integrating Apple CarPlay via a third-party box, acknowledging it's not officially supported but offers a functional workaround. Finally, the video introduces "A Better Route Planner" as a more advanced trip planning tool than Tesla's native system. While the video covers a wide array of useful features, the focus remains on software and app-based functionalities rather than hardware specifics. less
Tesla's Huge Announcement - It's Finally Here!

Tesla's Huge Announcement - It's Finally Here!

The video announces Tesla's significant move to reintroduce key Full Self-Driving (FSD) features, Auto Park and Smart Summon, which were previous... ly disabled due to the transition to the vision system. Auto Park is now back with enhanced visuals and intelligence, while Smart Summon is undergoing internal testing and expected to return soon for EAP and FSD subscribers. The reviewer highlights that these features require Enhanced Autopilot (EAP) or FSD and advises caution, emphasizing the need for driver awareness. The report also touches on leaked images of an unreleased Model 3 variant, possibly named 'Insane Mode' instead of 'Ludicrous'. A major focus is placed on the current affordability of the Model Y, with prices dropping significantly, especially when factoring in federal tax credits, making it a compelling value proposition. Additionally, the video discusses Tesla's ongoing negotiations with CATL for battery technology, which could potentially enable Model 3 to qualify for federal tax credits in the future. Finally, Tesla is offering a one-month free trial of FSD to new Model S, X, and Y buyers, and a one-week free trial to all eligible owners, aiming to combat misinformation and encourage adoption, while also hinting at potential price reductions for FSD. The reviewer also shares a behind-the-scenes look at their new studio setup. less
Tesla's New 2024 Model Y Juniper

Tesla's New 2024 Model Y Juniper

The 2024 Tesla Model Y 'Project Juniper' refresh is poised to be the most significant update to the world's best-selling car. The video... details ten key upgrades, including a redesigned exterior with new headlights, taillights, and Tesla lettering on the rear, along with potential new color options like Quicksilver and Midnight Cherry. Interior enhancements are substantial, featuring a tweaked, brighter, and more responsive central display, customizable RGB ambient lighting, blind spot indicator lights, and the removal of physical stalks in favor of screen-based controls for drive, park, and reverse. Comfort is improved with ventilated front seats, a rear passenger display, and an advanced HVAC system allowing independent fan control. Acoustic upgrades, such as 360° acoustic glass and an improved suspension, promise a quieter and smoother ride. The performance variant is expected to mirror the new Model 3 Performance with sportier features. While pricing and exact release dates remain TBD, with potential for earlier production in China, the refresh aims to address the Model Y's waning competitive edge. less
