Apparent Tesla Model Y ‘Juniper’ refresh spotted under wraps
What appeared to be a covered version of Tesla’s upcoming Model Y refresh, dubbed “Juniper” by media outlets, was spotted for the first time ahead of its official launch.
On Sunday, Reddit user JackIJack spotted the apparent Tesla Model Y refresh outside of the Rose Bowl stadium in Pasadena, California. As can be seen in the image, the Model Y features covers on the front and rear bumpers, though the front looks to have gotten a similar redesign to the recently refreshed Model 3.
The sighting is the first we’ve seen of the upcoming Model Y, though several Model 3 refresh units were also seen being tested ahead of the company’s official debut of the latest design of the electric sedan. In recent months, however, Tesla has noted multiple times that a refreshed Model Y won’t be hitting the market this year, though it’s been widely speculated, even throughout much of last year.
The Model 3 launched in Asia and Europe last fall, then the company later launched the vehicle in North America in January. As such, many were speculating that Tesla could do the same thing with the Model Y refresh this year, though it seems from the company’s recent statements that the earliest we’ll see the redesigned SUV is early 2025.
Last year, the Model Y became the world’s best-selling vehicle overall, as was recently highlighted in a unique advertisement dubbed its “Mobile Gallery,” which features a Model Y encased in glass being towed by a Cybertruck. On the glass case, Tesla printed the words “The Best-Selling Car in the World is Made in America,” and citing the associated data from JATO Dynamics.
Tesla recently replaced its entry-level Model Y configuration in the U.S. with a higher-ranged base model, and Musk has said that the company could eventually offer software range improvements for the old base model.

Have to assume the new Y will have all or most of the same massive improvements of the new 3. I'd be seriously interested in one if so. My wife is not a big fan of the look of the Y and would prefer we get an S, which I also wouldn't mind. I'd have to compare the cost - looking at a new Y price and seeing what year S I could get for similar price point.

The S is one of the best looking sedans ever made IMO, definitely get that if you can.

Definitely go for the S if the money works out. Just a different class of vehicle than the Y or old 3. Haven't driven the new 3 yet. Fast, comfortable, and tons of cargo room if you fold down the rear seats. And by far the best looking in the Tesla line. Plus, you don't see one every time you turn around.

Yeah, here in SC, Ss aren't that common. Ys are everywhere now. And it happened fast. Went from seeing one rarely to them being everywhere in about a year. Truth be told, I'm not really in love with how any of the Teslas look, including the S. It's ok, but a little too much on the eggish side. To me, none of the Teslas are offensively ugly, but none are gorgeous either. Maybe that will change when/if the new Roadster is ever released.

The Y is the number one driven car here, followed closely by the 3. Both here in Northern as well as Southern California, so it's crazy how many I see a day. I would lose my mind trying to keep track

cool thing is tesla has this test drive mechanism where you don't see or talk to ANYONE.
they tell you where and you arrange when, you go there with app, it opens the car and you drive off.
