After all the rumours and leaked images, the refreshed Tesla Model Y aka Juniper is finally available to order in the UK, Europe and USA. Here are the key changes.
There have been details and images of the long-awaited refresh of the Tesla Model Y floating around the Internet for a few weeks now. But most of these were from China, with no indication when the update would be arriving in Europe or the US. Well, the wait is finally over. The new Model Y has gone on sale in these regions, and I was at, this isn’t an official Tesla term, and the origin of it is unknown.
There’s a lightbar on the rear of the car, too, but that’s less visible. In fact, the lightbar itself is entirely hidden and you only see its illumination as a reflection on the rear panel, which looks rather futuristic. The rear in general has a sleeker and less busy appearance than the original car. The amount of space in the back is effectively the same but the rear seats are now powered.
You still now use the side of the infotainment screen to select drive, reverse and park. Otherwise, the interface hasn’t changed noticeably from before. The underlying computer uses Tesla’s Hardware 4 like the latest Model 3. Also, like the latter, rear seat passengers now have their own 8in panel with games and multimedia capabilities, as well as separate control over their own climate settings. They get two USB C ports capable of delivering 65W, too, which is enough to power two laptops.
These are just the headline improvements with the new Model Y. In the UK, only one version of the new Model Y will be on sale initially. This will be a Long Range All-Wheel Drive variant. Tesla says the drivetrain itself hasn’t changed significantly, but the other improvements have enabled the new car to go 22 miles further – 353 miles instead of 331 miles . It’s faster, too, hitting 60mph in 4.1 seconds. This may or may not be with the Acceleration Boost pre-applied.
