Tesla Model Y Refresh? Code name - Juniper · Elon Musk Podcast

• 0:15
  The Model Y could be getting a huge update, a bunch of huge
• 0:19
  updates with the next model of the Juniper, which may follow
• 0:24
  some of the path of the Model 3 refresh.
• 0:28
  Now, when is this going to be coming out?
• 0:30
  What will be happening within the Model Y to make it even
• 0:34
  better than it already is? This is a great vehicle.
• 0:37
  So if you haven't checked it out yet, if you're new to Tesla and
• 0:40
  you're here just for information, please go to
• 0:43
  tesla.com. Check out the Model Y.
• 0:45
  You probably already have. Everybody's seen a Model Y.
• 0:47
  You probably see them on the road.
• 0:49
  But it is a fantastic vehicle and I'm in the mood to purchase
• 0:53
  one. So I'm been doing a lot of
• 0:55
  research about the fact that there may be a refresh of this.
• 0:59
  So should I hold off a few months?
• 1:01
  Should you hold off a few months?
• 1:03
  Should you hold off until early next year maybe?
• 1:07
  Well, that's the question you have to answer yourself.
• 1:11
  So there's speculation right now that the Model Y is getting a
• 1:16
  new refresh. A lot of things could be
• 1:18
  happening. There was a Reddit post that
• 1:21
  seemed to show a new Model Y all wrapped up in black.
• 1:26
  And they do this with the test models.
• 1:28
  So as they're testing new products, Elon and company over
• 1:32
  at Tesla wrap up the models in a, you know, so it's a black
• 1:36
  wrap. So nobody knows exactly what
• 1:38
  vehicle it is, what model it is, what the interior looks like,
• 1:42
  what other features on the outside look like, what the
• 1:44
  headlights kind of look like. And it's an experimental model
• 1:48
  at that point. But it may be too soon to assume
• 1:52
  a Model Y refresh is imminent. So Elon Musk said as recently as
• 1:58
  last month that there's no Model Y refresh coming out this year.
• 2:04
  And then he also said I should note that Tesla continuously
• 2:07
  improves its cars. So even a car that is 6 months
• 2:10
  newer will be a little better. So if you wait a couple weeks,
• 2:17
  probably not going to get a new Model Y.
• 2:18
  We had a couple months, probably not going to get a new Model Y.
• 2:22
  Maybe at the end of the year, maybe next year, it could
• 2:27
  happen. Usually they release these
• 2:29
  things at a show, so we're going to see what happens.
• 2:33
  And sometimes they just do a casual release like hey, new
• 2:37
  headlights, new things, new interior, check it out.
• 2:40
  Here's a bunch of videos. Some things do refreshes like
• 2:42
  that. Sometimes it's not a big deal,
• 2:44
  but the Model Y is a beloved car in the Tesla lineup.
• 2:48
  So unless Elon Musk has done a complete turn around and the
• 2:53
  engineers at Tesla are closer than we think, this supposed
• 2:58
  test model is the only thing we have right now.
• 3:02
  As far as the new Model Y goes on the roads.
• 3:06
  We're probably not going to see it this year, everybody.
• 3:08
  And that's unfortunate because I'm definitely in the right
• 3:12
  price range for a Model Y and I'm also in the mood to buy 10.
• 3:17
  It's got to be a tough one. So maybe six months from now, I
• 3:22
  mean, I might just buy this year's model and you know, I'm,
• 3:25
  I, I will be missing out on a few things.
• 3:27
  So if you're interested in buying a Model Y right now,
• 3:31
  there are some things from the Model 3 that could possibly go
• 3:35
  into the Model Y, because that's kind of what they do.
• 3:37
  The Model 3 refresh has clues about the Model Y coming out
• 3:41
  that would probably launch in 2025.
• 3:43
  Not sure exactly when the 2025 launch would be, but here's what
• 3:47
  was included in the Model 3 Highland upgrades.
• 3:51
  Performance upgrade in the model three more horsepower up to 510
• 3:55
  horsepower, zero to 60 in 2.9 seconds.
• 3:59
  The front end has a sleeker hood, so that means that the
• 4:02
  model 3 bump was removed in low profile headlights for better
• 4:07
  aerodynamics, which means longer charge, which is great, longer
• 4:10
  battery life. So something that's been missing
• 4:14
  from the Model Y is that it is a smooth ride, but it could be
• 4:18
  smoother. The Model 3 has this thing
• 4:21
  called frequency response dampeners which provide a
• 4:24
  smoother ride in the newer refreshed Model 3.
• 4:29
  It's a it's a better way to have a smoother ride in your vehicle.
• 4:35
  You could also possibly upgrade the tires for increased range
• 4:39
  and less noise. Here's a big one because
• 4:43
  especially if you're in a hot climate like I am.
• 4:45
  I'm in Savannah GA baby and it does get hot.
• 4:48
  It was 95° here today. We need some ventilated seats
• 4:53
  and that's possible for the Model Y refresh because the
• 4:56
  Model 3 has ventilated seat now and the cabin is also quieter.
• 5:02
  There's 360 degree acoustic glass in the cabin.
• 5:07
  So that's a really important thing when you're driving a
• 5:10
  Tesla compared to like a an ICE car.
• 5:13
  You have a Subaru right now and the ICE vehicle, it's just
• 5:18
  louder. If you ever been like if you
• 5:20
  ever went from a Tesla into an ICE car and you're like, oof,
• 5:24
  like oof. What?
• 5:25
  What just happened? Yeah, that's that's what's going
• 5:28
  to be better in the cabin. Quieter cabin, 2 to 360 degree
• 5:31
  acoustic glass. There's possible rear screen for
• 5:35
  rear passengers too, which would be really great.
• 5:38
  Put the kid in the back and then put on put on the screen for
• 5:42
  him. Let him watch a movie or
• 5:43
  something on the way to school. That would be good.
• 5:45
  Removal of the stocks on the steering wheel.
• 5:48
  So all these physical controls will be moved to thumb buttons
• 5:51
  on the steering wheel. Not bad.
• 5:54
  It takes a little bit of getting used to, but it will be
• 5:58
  stockless in the new model. Hopefully.
• 6:01
  Because if they can upgrade one thing, they might as well
• 6:03
  upgrade it on all the vehicles, right?
• 6:06
  And more software updates, of course, because we will have
• 6:10
  better controls such as a gear selector integrated into the
• 6:15
  screen. And possibly this is one that
• 6:18
  I'm really interested in the upgraded sound system, but we
• 6:21
  don't know exactly what that's going to be.
• 6:23
  None of this stuff. We don't know exactly what this
• 6:25
  is going to be. So if you're watching this on

  because I've been talking about the three the whole time.
• 6:37
  The Model Y upgrade, it's coming.
• 6:40
  Hopefully it's not going to come soon.
• 6:42
  It's going to be in 2025 according to Elon.
• 6:45
