The most successful EV in the world is about to get thoroughly updated
The much-awaited Tesla Model Y Juniper has been spotted testing for a few months now. Note that Model Y bears the tag of the highest-selling EV on the planet. What is even more impressive is that it has succeeded in multiple markets across the globe. Obviously, the primary markets are China and the U.S. In fact, the production of the electric SUV will commence in the Gigafactory in Shanghai, China this month.

Tesla Model Y Juniper Spotted
For a long time, we have been witnessing spy shots of camouflaged EV from various parts of the world. As per the latest images of the exterior, the first aspect that one notices is the Model 3-like elements. At the front and rear, the EV boasts connected LED light strips. That is a common trend among EVs these days. What is still a bit unclear is whether the headlamp cluster will bear inspiration from the Cybertruck (split headlamp setup).
Apart from that, the body of the electric SUV appears extremely slippery which points to a low drag coefficient, aiding the aerodynamics a lot. That is critical to squeezing out the maximum range. This is particularly true for the rear section with that sloping roofline to complete the coupe-esque silhouette. The large alloy wheels also appear to be aerodynamically optimized.
There are even some glimpses of the interior cabin. These resemble the design of the updated Model 3 Highland. This includes redesigned door panels and center console, an LED strip running across the cabin, a thin screen bezel, omission of column stalks, new cooled seats and arguably the most radical alteration to the cabin, the rectangular steering wheel. Also, there will be more features to pamper the occupants.

The Tesla Model Y Juniper is set to become a key product for the EV auto giant. Note that 2024 was the first year in over a decade when Tesla recorded a year-on-year decline in sales. Hence, it is critical to update the existing lineup to create interest. Also, that sub-$30,000 EV, which has been in the pipeline for a while, will also play a key role in fetching volumes going forward. Let us see the details of the new Model Y and how well the customers embrace it.
