Bear in mind this styling is limited to the "Launch Series" cars. They include no charge for any paint color. The wider release version looks very much like the Model 3 refresh.
It's a little more in Australia, but they're calling it the launch series, all colors are free and only 20" wheels. If you subtract those it's the same price. You get 7% extra range in CLTC and a much better car for basically the same price

A facelift/refresh of old models was needed, as it is a practice done by all manufacturers, but basically reignites the sales of the same "band" of the product range. What is needed is to expand the range. The competition will be brutal in compacts, (affordable) crossovers and, yes, pickup trucks. Not everyone wants a Cybertruck and the millions who buy regular (ICE&EV) trucks won't be swayed to buy one.

I like the look of it from the front. It's clean. I think the rear diffuser tai light is a nice element but it's placed so high that it makes the back end look somewhat bulky/blocky.
I'm wondering how durable that front light bar is. I suppose it probably is at least as durable as the paint would be if not more so. I chipped my rear bumper paint when we were putting luggage in the back for example. I guess anything going in the front would be lighter.
love the new M3 look. Not sure about the new MY, which surprises me. I expected to desire the new design immediately. Glad the blinker stalk remains. Curious about the changes under the skin.
Just ordered one for Australia! As to the price bump, note that the exchange rate is pretty unfavourable for Aussie dollarydoos at the moment. That could explain it.
More, no, no, yes. Just finished a livestream where these questions are answered along with the reasons for each. ruclips.net/video/DTMPjwyE5rU/видео.html
Does the new Model Y have vehicle to home capability? That's what I'm waiting for, as it will complement my solar and Powerwall system - I don't want to spend money upgrading my system if a new Model Y will have the capability to do this. Hoping, here in the UK. (otherwise a cheap Nissan Leaf is my other option)
Hasn't been announced yet. That is on my wishlist as well. Recently I saw a video of a product that can trick any Tesla into providing V2L ability. It tricks it into thinking a charger was just connected which opens up access to the battery but instead of charging it is able to power the external inverter with 2 110v outlets (up to 30A output). That product is not necessarily something I want, and it is expensive currently, but it tells me that Tesla can likely make V2H happen with the right combination of external hardware and software and doesn't necessarily require any hardware changes to the existing and presumably new vehicles.
Brian, you mentioned being indifferent about the blinker stalk because you use FSD mostly and it’s great. Love to hear that. But it makes me think I must be the only one without great luck with FSD. I got a free trial in May 2024 and again in Nov 2024. Was it amazing in many respects, yes. Would I use it as it is now, no. In my neck of the woods, we have old, winding roads with no shoulder. FSD insists on driving right on the edge, centimeters from the dirt, gravel and grass, rather than centering like it does on the highway. I notice a lot of FSD influencers are middle and left side of the US with wide, straight roads and large shoulders. Maybe it’s a different experience for them. Also, even on the least aggressive setting (I forget how that’s named in FSD) it pulls from stops aggressively! I drive aggressively, it’s the fun of having a Tesla, but I don’t my chauffeur doing that! Finally, and maybe this is US law requirement, but it stops at the stop sign, then again at the intersection. While this is “proper”, it is not the procedure of humans to do that first stop at the stop sign, well behind the intersection, and it both confuses and angers drivers behind me when FSD does that.
You're on the australian website so the currency your looking at is the Australian Dollar. 68 AUD Converted to American munnies is rounded to 42K USD. Not bad i think.
I want the rear screen for road trips and the newer computers for better self-driving. Those will be enough reason to upgrade. The only question is whether or not I will need new tires before the right end-of-quarter deal comes along.
I am looking forward to the Juniper refresh Model Y LR RWD coming to Thailand in the next year. The higher prices of the new MY are hopefully only for the launch edition.
Is it still 400V? I really hope they improved the charging curve. They are really falling behind a lot of cars there (yes even in the same price range).
makes sense to me for the new model to be expensive until the old lines are all converted. They could even discount the old model near the end using the money earned from the early adopters to increase the TAM.
I was hoping for a significant lift in range at highway speeds. Here in the UK we’ve noticed that in cold weather (below 5 degrees Celsius) we’ve seen the range drop from a claimed 360 miles to sub 200 miles at 70 mph motorway driving. It’s no big deal as the charging network is great, but I was shocked. In my mind, Electric cars will have made it when they can do 300 miles on a charge at highway speeds in any weather. So for me the model Y really will be perfect when they finally get more energy dense 4680 batteries with I recon another 25% more capacity.
Legacy automakers have always just changed the front and back to claim an all new year model. Love the new Juniper LR and cant wait to get it in the coming 6-10 months! Probably go with red.
Did I miss something? Is this just cheaper to build or is it providing new fsd hardware, substantially better range, charging speed and battery life or ??? So far I’m not getting the point of this refresh.
Is it possible that this design is for the Chinese market? To fit their design tastes? And North American will get a better looking version? Similar to Model 3
I got white because I didn't want to get the free gray and see my same car every where. Now all I see driving down the road all day are white Model Y. Sometimes two or three at a Supercharger.
Looks a bit more grown up, with the tighter seams due to gigacasting precision. Australian version comes with 20" wheels, reducing range, compared to China version, to just a tick better than old version. Free paint options with the premium price launch edition. Square steering wheel may mean steer by wire ala cyber-truck.
The new Y's front and rear follow the same design as the Cybercab. Grok states that the total number of Tesla Model Ys sold worldwide in 2024 was 1,163,676 units, while the second best-selling vehicle in the world in 2024 was the Toyota Corolla, with sales reaching 1,004 million units. So then I asked Gemini, and it gave me the same sales number for the Corolla, which was the best seller in the number one spot, while the Y came in at number two with 973,463 sales. There may be some Grok bias since the consensus is that the Corolla retook the crown this year. Regardless, the Y isn't far behind, and now, with the refresh, it may just take the crown back in 2025.
Shocks everyone? I wasn't shocked by any of it. Pretty much everything I expected (and wanted) based on the Model 3 updates and leaks. Including the front bumper camera (which is necessary for full driverless abilities and better park assist).
Wrap some Teslas. Easier to do before assy. Use trained Optimus robots to do the wrap..... video record for the promo. (do an art design wrap competition). 📡
I like the old one, but I prefer the new look slightly. I think the stalk return is nice. I hope they move quick too because I still need the pegs dropped probably more than 1 rung down to afford a Tesla. My eyes are out for the new cheaper model.
I definitely like the new version better. Looks more refined and modern
For sure.
Or like a turd with lights, depending on your point of view of course.

Great review, Model Y is quality!

The weight reduced by improved manufacturing of body structure has probably been countered somewhat by a heavier battery to get range improvement.
i had assumed the battery would be smaller and the range improvement due to a better battery.
@scottmcshannon6821 , I think the range improvement is mostly due to improved aerodynamics, as in the refreshed M3.
no AC outlets, right?
Is it going to have drive by wire steering?
No
Looks good all around. I like the new option to have the front Tesla logo being’s silver, black, grey or even matching the car colour/color.
Do you think it will have a 48 V architecture and steer by wire?
Not likely. The goal is to maintain parts commonality with Model 3.

68k Australian Dollars is only 42k US Dollars
Maybe they removed the indicator (blinker) stalk from the Model 3 so they could upsell all the normal people on a Y that was also too big for them? ;)
That's a hilarious theory. Love it!
Possibly! And have to buy a model S/X to get it in black
Wrap some Teslas. Easier to do before assy. Use trained Optimus robots to do the wrap..... video record for the promo. (do an art design wrap competition). 📡
I like the old one, but I prefer the new look slightly. I think the stalk return is nice. I hope they move quick too because I still need the pegs dropped probably more than 1 rung down to afford a Tesla. My eyes are out for the new cheaper model.
