COMPARING TESLA'S NEW 2024 MODEL Y TO THE OLDER MODEL Y? WHICH ONE IS BETTER?

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Tesla Model Y, codenamed 'Project Juniper,' receives a significant refresh aimed at maintaining its market leadership. The video highlights key improvements over the 2023 model, focusing on exterior and interior design, battery technology, and performance. Externally, the 2024 model adopts a cleaner aesthetic with a sculpted front fascia, slimmer LED headlights inspired by the Model 3, and a simplified bumper. Inside, the cabin features a departure from the 'forward trim' for a more streamlined look, with the option of Alcantara upholstery and a dual-tone black and white theme. A notable upgrade is the introduction of the 4680 battery cells, promising increased energy storage and a substantial boost in driving range, with the Long Range variant now achieving nearly 400 miles. Performance is also enhanced with an 800-volt architecture, a higher top speed of 155 mph, and quicker acceleration. The reviewer recommends the Long Range variant for its balance of range, performance, and value, noting its $4,000 price advantage over the Performance model. Production is slated to begin in October 2024.
