Tesla 2025 Model Y Price and Detail Revealed

Tesla has given its popular Model Y a significant makeover (codenamed Juniper), bringing a raft of design, comfort, and tech upgrades that make it quieter, more efficient, and more stylish. And yes, there’s a hint of Cybertruck in its new look.

It follows Model 3 MY24, codenamed Project Highland released for the model year 24. Although both model range updates are significant, neither can be considered “all-new”.

A Fresh Look with Cyber Vibes

The new Model Y embraces bold design cues, including a cross-car daytime running lightbar, repositioned pixel LED headlights, and a futuristic front bumper. The rear now features an eye-catching, single-piece lightbar spanning 1.6 metres—one of the largest in the industry. Tesla fans will also notice a front-facing camera for enhanced visibility.

Upgraded Interior for Ultimate Comfort

Inside, Tesla has focused on refinement. The new ventilated seats, soft-touch materials, and an advanced acoustic glass windshield ensure a whisper-quiet ride. The panoramic glass roof now includes a silver-coated layer that reflects heat more effectively, keeping the cabin cooler without cranking up the air con. A magnetic cargo cover adds a touch of practicality, stowing neatly when not in use.

The Juniper update brings many of the Model 3’s Highland attributes while adding features unique to Model y.

Smoother, Quieter Ride

Tesla promises a more comfortable drive thanks to an overhauled suspension setup that improves bump absorption. Road, impact, and wind noise are reportedly reduced by over 20%, bringing the Model Y in to line with the MY24 Model 3.

Smarter and Safer Tech

Conclusion

Tesla’s updated Model Y is a clear step forward in efficiency, comfort, and style for what is an aging model range. Competition is stiff from both legacy and new brands with some significantly undercutting Tesla Model Y price and ability.

The front end in particular, gives the Model Y further points of difference when compared to Model 3. Prior to the MY24 update Model 3 and Model Y were virtually identical to the average punter.

The warranty of 4 years is 3 years less than industry leaders which include 7 year pioneer, Kia, and many of the Chinese brands which also support 7 year warranties. Other brands offer conditional 10 year warranties if serviced within the brand’s service network.

Tesla withdrew Model X and Model S from RHD markets, and recently announced Cybertruck. Recent sales of all Tesla vehicles has fallen dramatically with many attributing this to a boycott by buyers. CEO Elon Musk has polarised the public, and sadly, the Tesla brand with it.

Tesla was a pioneer, making electric vehicles “cool”, but there is now a vast array of alternatives in all price brackets and with more technology. A recent viral video showed vehicles with LIDAR were significantly better at detecting objects ahead in all light and weather conditions. Tesla deactivated LIDAR in their vehicles as part of a shift to all-camera safety and driver-assistance features.

Competition comes from the Hyundai group, including Kia, as well as a raft of Chinese brands including Zeekr, Xpeng, and MG. There are a range of high end EVs from Rolls Royce, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Jaguar Land Rover too, and gradually non-Tesla brands are gaining access to the Supercharger network, albeit at an inflated price.

With the shifting mood around Tesla, can the pioneering brand do enough to refresh its range? What the brand needs is all-new models to replace thise that are up to 14 years old.
