Model Y Juniper at night 😎

I’m still not a fan but I’ll give it more time. Feels like one of those designs that people think is cool but becomes dated very quickly. Kind of like the new housing trend of wood veneer or the remodel wood veneer on Target stores. Yeah, in concept it sounds like a good update but it execution it’s just all wrong.

I personally think it would look really great without the middle bar. I like the “little headlights” look it would have

Oh. No…..!

Love it

I don't like the middle light bar, but for the road it's better if there is more light. So imho for a design perspective it's not nice, but for rationality it's practical. Also in the back, but that looks good as well, not just practical.

I disliked the Highland refresh at first, but it really grew on me over time. Granted, that’s helped by the Perf, which IMO looks far better with the “less plain” nose. My gut feeling is that I’d prefer Juniper without the light bar at the front. It does feel more like a trend-chaser. I’m not a fan at the moment, but perhaps it’ll grow on me. At least it’s more distinct from the 3 now.

Uhh the xpeng-sla

Thankfully this is a really easy mod. Blocking it out should still be completely compliant with local laws.

Can this video BE any shorter?! 

Still not liking the light bar at all...not even on the Cybertruck.

Honestly given how it's turned out I'd have been happier if they just took the lazier route and made the Model Y a taller Model 3 Highland. Some of the concept renderings of that approach actually looked pretty good.

Does it have only this angle, can't people shoot it from other angles, it's annoying just like when I only see the cybertruck only from this exact same angle

Do you sincerely love yourself? :s

What does it look like in the daylight? Similar, but less dark outside?

I really don't get why they didn't just copy the 3 highland

All these existing Y owners saying they don't like the new look and prefer their own car. We saw the same responses when the Highland came out.

Does juniper have matrix headlights ?

Holy mother of ..

Are the "fog lights" now the headlights?

Looks really good, just a bit sceptical about those headlights (not the bar) in snowy conditions. Seems like a potential problem that snow can cover those completely.

Yeap, agree

light bars, the Mullet of EV's

Chinese knockoff

Is that a panel gap transitioning between the hood and the light bar? Or is it just an odd angle

Agreed

Because it is cheaper to manufacture

The light bar isn’t going to project any noticeable amount of light on the road.

people/customers in China are no more looking just for exterior/interior design but the tech-they prefer Tesla b/c of it's technology. I am excited and will get one.

In the same boat. Very much dislike how the regular Highland looks, but I like the way the Performance looks. So now waiting to see the Performance version of Juniper. Tho I do somewhat like the way it looks already.

From the rear, yeah.. I think the Highland lights are better than whatever is going on on the Juniper. But from the front, I am just so so glad they didn’t give it the horrible plain bumper that’s on the Highland RWD/LR. It already looks bad on the 3 and would have been even more exaggerated on the Y. I don’t know what they were thinking removing the aero in front of the wheels.. I suppose it makes the Performance look way better by comparison.

Still looks bad

Dont buy right wing car

Yeh true the performance highland front bumper does drastically benefit the looks of the front.

Refrigerator

Looks cool

Waiting for the first in winter conditions during night…got a feeling these low front light won’t do much to illuminate the street

Interesting, I loved the highland refresh and have stayed loving it. The Juniper refreshed is very Chinese EV looking. It's not growing on me. Im very disappointed. I'll be stuck in my current gen for a while now.

In theory it should be a simple software option that Tesla could add, to allow custom settings for the lightbar: "turn off centre bar". Perhaps it's already a setting, perhaps it's something they'll add if enough people complain online about how it looks. I've seen renders that fans have made without the centre bar, and yeah, it looks really good that way.

That was a minority view for Highland. Much less so here.

Supposedly, yes.

This will be more attractive once they start those 0% APRs. Gonna wait for the year end sale!

When are we getting a review by someone who has a chance to test drive the vehicle? I really don’t care much about how it looks. I care to learn more about the main issues of the MY which is ride comfort and road noise.

Love the lucid looking front, hate the Prius looking rear

So the same as during daytime

Looks like it was made by AI. Design is so boring and lacks any cool human qualities to it. Generic could have been a prop designed in a day for a movie.

its a good looking kia niro, i'll give it that

The real question is how do the taillights work (brake, turn indicator, reverse).

The only highland I like is the Performance, because they "fixed" the bumper by bringing elements of the old bumper back. It may very well be the same for Juniper. A sterile design devoid of personality that might get some back in latter variations.

Agreed. Initially not a big fan at all, still warming up slowly. The current design is so iconic, it's hard to beat it.

It's a Y with a different skin, the drive won't change much.

What song is that in the background?

Need night back shot

When is supposed to come out?

Looks dope

Well it’s because someone is behind it pushing.

most important question is, are stocks back or not?

The light bar is decorative.

They have so many in China already there's no way they are waiting until may to deliver 😂

Ngl. Starting to get Kia vibes….

My understanding is that it will change about as much as the M3 changed and that was quite significant. And in many ways a smoother and quieter ride is even more important on a family car like the Y than it is on the 3 which is a sporty small sedan.

No, I really hated the fact that the Y was a fatter 3. Different styling is good.

You like the existing front of the legacy Y?!!

Xpeng

That old droopy front bumper was terrible. I know a few people already that are now interested in a Model Y because the old one was so frumpy

Every brand is gonna have these then going fwd

Seems the wheels need aligning, they're veering to the Reich

Yall would all be bitching and complaining how lazy Tesla was if it looked just like the model 3 😂😂😂… 💯

Hate it.

Yuck

The lightbar is tacky

The more I see it the more my hatred for it grows.

For a model that is 5 years old it really is disappointing how few changes have been made: mostly cosmetic.

Ok, question to current cyber truck owners: how effective is that light bar thing as an actual light? Are the lights bright enough and directed forward enough to provide good visibility?

Im curious how bright those tiny headlights are going to be compared to current Ys. And will they be matrix style, bending light around cars, and will they still spell out "Tesla" during a light show.

This is my biggest question also... are they as bright as current models, especially without fog lights, they will need to be extra bright.

I got a model y lr awd in December last year. While I like the new model I don't consider the changes to be that much important or better looking.

Looks like a Kia

Or is it a Xpeng G9… Hard to tell…🤣🤣🤣

It’s a sad day when the Prius is now more attractive than the Model Y.

Looks like Chinese

Does it come only in white?
