Here are the first images of the revival of the Tesla Model Y or rather its restyling. If the rear lights are obviously reminiscent of those of the Model 3, the front could divide the customer base a little more.
2025 will be the year of renewal for the Tesla Model Y, launched in 2020 and which now requires an update even if the figures show that it is still selling very well without a refresh. The Tesla Model Y is still the best-selling electric car in Europe after an exceptional year in 2023, and the Supercharger network is probably no stranger to this success, which reminds us that an electric car is not a success on its own. , it must be sold with a complete charging service. Tesla understood this from the start and is still riding this wave. But the update called “Juniper” of the Tesla Model Y was still in preparation for some time and here are the first images of the electric SUV (from the Cochespias forum) which may well divide the crowds when it comes to the choice of light signature.
A thin strip of LEDs on the Tesla Model Y
Tesla is playing it safe at the rear with the adoption of the hooked lights that we now know on the restyled Tesla Model 3 “Highland”, adding the particularity of a central strip popular in current automobile design. But the American brand knew how to keep the secret for the first time, and we begin to understand why: the very thin light strip joins the two hyper-tapered optics which are reminiscent of what we see a lot lately on Chinese electrics.
Another divisive choice from Tesla, to be added to others such as the turn signal switches which disappear in favor of physical controls on the steering wheel. Characteristic which should obviously inherit the Tesla Model Y, in addition to a small probable evolution on the infotainment side. On the other hand, the current range will most certainly be renewed: Propulsion, Long Autonomy (Propulsion and All-wheel Drive) and Performance. It remains to be seen whether autonomy increases slightly.
