MAJOR TESLA SURPRISE - NEW MODEL Y JUNIPER FIRST LOOK!

EV Channels Review

The Tesla Model Y Juniper refresh is detailed, focusing on the transition from the current Model Y to the upcoming 2025 version. The reviewer highlights that the 2025 Model Y offers minor improvements, primarily an increase in EPA estimated range (around 15 miles for the base model), with minimal visual changes from previous years, except for darker Gemini wheel covers and the Quicksilver paint option. Significant discounts and incentives, including a $7,500 federal tax credit and 0% APR financing, are emphasized as making the current Model Y a compelling purchase. However, the reviewer points out potential drawbacks for older models, such as the Intel Atom processor limiting UI updates and Zoom calls, and the older Hardware 3 camera system potentially impacting future Full Self-Driving capabilities compared to the new Hardware 4. The interior is described as dated, especially when compared to the Cybertruck and new Model 3. The upcoming Juniper refresh is anticipated to bring a significant redesign, including a light bar front and rear, potentially new cameras (possibly Hardware 5), a front bumper camera, cooled seats, and a faster display, aligning with Tesla's new design language. The reviewer suggests waiting for the Juniper refresh for a substantial upgrade, while acknowledging the current deals make immediate purchase attractive.
