Honestly it looks like the new Kona refresh with those light bars. Just less plastic obviously. No hate just an observation.

Eyem_human 2025-01-24 02:11

I can’t wait to see the performance model.

Family-Faith-Freedom 2025-01-24 02:12

I want to see if there’s more leg room for a third row. Good choice of song. Sam Dees

goba101 2025-01-24 02:13

Brah change the interior

iamisaactorres 2025-01-24 02:13

No turn signal buttons on the steering wheel 👀

Drownduck1 2025-01-24 02:25

Honestly loving the refresh. I’m probably the only one person on the internet who actually like the changes

yhsong1116 2025-01-24 02:32

Did the trend start with cyber truck back in 2019? Or was it European cars ?

yhsong1116 2025-01-24 02:33

They brought back the stalk

yhsong1116 2025-01-24 02:33

They did.

[deleted] 2025-01-24 02:37

That’s a good point, I always forget about the cybertruck. But if we go that route, then the first I can think of recently would be the Rivian, though im sure there was others. Also, there were cars in the 80s with a light bar like the Mercury Sable, albeit that wasn’t LEDs I’d bet 😂

TigglyWiggly95 2025-01-24 02:46

Hopefully, they will have a six seater version and not seven when that rolls out.

mwwood22 2025-01-24 02:48

I don’t want to like it but I can’t hate it

goba101 2025-01-24 02:56

Like I don’t see a radical design. Looks like Tesla model 3 redesign

dhp1161 2025-01-24 02:58

Doesn’t look bad but the front on the new model 3 looks better… wished they used that

less_is_less 2025-01-24 02:58

I’m very interested. Apparently the changes don’t show as well in photos as in real life.

BowlSmart9624 2025-01-24 02:59

Meh not sure how I feel about that cybertruck front light bar.. should’ve just used the refreshed M3 front end

comfybonfire 2025-01-24 03:17

What exactly were you expecting from a Model Y refresh?

tardiswho 2025-01-24 03:17

I just bought an S and almost wish I waited. I think it looks awesome.

Bubonic_Butters 2025-01-24 03:21

That was the whole point lol

Less-Amount-1616 2025-01-24 03:23

Nature is healing

flompwillow 2025-01-24 03:26

I found that interesting as well. They must be getting a lot of negative feedback?

Yukycg 2025-01-24 03:32

Wish Tesla add "cream" or "brown" color for the interior as a more premium upgrade than the typical black or white.

Pepper7489 2025-01-24 03:38

Yeah I actually didn't like it at first from the photos. But just saw the review online and I love it.

[deleted] 2025-01-24 03:39

Sharp from the front ok from the back but for sure a step in the right direction.

LeVoyantU 2025-01-24 03:51

I'm so glad they didn't go with the same design for Model 3/Y. It's super boring and diminishes the look of both cars.

AmbitiousFunction911 2025-01-24 03:56

Of course they are. They were creating their own problems for no reason.

AmbitiousFunction911 2025-01-24 03:57

The Y is super boring. You’re talking about two mass produced generic design cars. May as well be a Prius

jaqueh 2025-01-24 04:10

Whitney portal!

flompwillow 2025-01-24 04:10

I sure wouldn’t want it myself. The turn stalk is convenient, and until we don’t have to drive at all I sure wouldn’t prefer to keep these basic controls accessible.

JackONeill12 2025-01-24 05:12

Many of VW's newer generations of combustion cars do have light bars in the front. It's a general industry trend right now and not limited to electric cars.

Hetairoi 2025-01-24 05:14

Outside of Reddit there is a lot more nuance

short_bus_genius 2025-01-24 05:14

Nah. I always thought it was lazy that the Y was just a bigger 3. I love that the two cars are distinct now.

Deafcat22 2025-01-24 05:27

Finally! the Model Y really coming into it's own and giving "definitely early Cylon raider technology". I for one, something something new overlords.

imacleopard 2025-01-24 05:33

Same. The only saving grace was that so many parts were basically interchangeable

andygchicago 2025-01-24 05:38

Am I seeing a front camera?

Unencrypted_Thoughts 2025-01-24 06:08

I actually don't mind the turn signal buttons. Getting rid of the gear shift is very annoying when doing a 3 point turn.

PersonalityLower9734 2025-01-24 06:34

I like it too, i ordered one in Quicksilver myself. No complaints at all and looking very forward to getting it. Ive been following it a lot so no real surprises here other than the March estimated delivery date, totally thought it was at least April

PersonalityLower9734 2025-01-24 06:36

Yup, it has a bumper camera now. 8 cameras in total

macman156 2025-01-24 06:48

Hopefully it trickles down to the 3

AtariAtari 2025-01-24 06:50

Touch screen steering wheel didn’t do well in user testing either.

kikibuggy 2025-01-24 07:44

Front bumper camera!!

sashioni 2025-01-24 09:25

Ditto. I like the new design but I never was a fan of the original. Just making a blobbier taller Model 3 was silly tbh.

edchikel1 2025-01-24 09:29

This ain’t a Taycan.

SerennialFellow 2025-01-24 10:03

I don’t see the front bumper camera

steve2555 2025-01-24 11:01

Why in Europe New Y in LAUNCH series don't have a FSD included? In USA FSD is included..  Price difference (around 10k USD or EURO) is similar between old LR and a new LR in LAUNCH series on both continents..

editorskeys 2025-01-24 13:00

I was lucky enough to have a look a few days ago [first look](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jWv4MbEFYM)

orangeatom 2025-01-24 13:21

So neat!

BMWbill 2025-01-24 13:42

Well, technically they retained the signal stalk of the Y but they dropped the shifter stalk

Another2Coast 2025-01-24 14:10

It's Chinese design language. They have a LOT of evs with a very similar light bar. This is trying to fit in.

Present-Ad-9598 2025-01-24 14:24

I thought so too but after a few test drives you kinda forget about it, especially since the car automatically turns off the indicator after completing a merge or turn

Animanganime 2025-01-24 14:57

I think of Lucid

[deleted] 2025-01-24 15:32

If we have one ordered can we push delivery back and get the new one?

planko13 2025-01-24 15:51

Ugh, honestly, I hate it aesthetically. I hope other manufactures have something worthwhile by the time my model 3 croaks...

MexicanGuey 2025-01-24 16:05

Unless you have a second car with Stalks. After 6 months of my highland is till occasionally reach for the stalks since I used a car with stalks regularly too. I’ve also push the wrong direction a couple times. I’ve also accidentally used my indicator buttons to control music because in every other car, those arrows are used for music. Stalks are superior to buttons and even if you get used to it, it no excuse to change them.

B1Turb0 2025-01-24 18:24

I love it too! 2 of us

whereami1928 2025-01-24 19:53

Prius looks fantastic now though

MountainManGuy 2025-01-24 20:28

THIS. I'm yawning here. It's a nice refresh and I think Tesla did a fine job, but it doesn't get me excited like the performance trim will.

Voidfaller 2025-01-24 20:41

They really leaned into Kia for this design. So sad. :(

AmbitiousFunction911 2025-01-24 20:51

Eh. It looks better than it did.

LivermoreP1 2025-01-24 21:18

The auto shift has been a game changer. I never have to touch the screen anymore.

why_who_meee 2025-01-24 21:41

I mean ... the Kona has a light bar, yes. So they really look like though??? Not in my opinion

pkk888 2025-01-24 23:30

Never buying a Tesla again.

EcstaticImport 2025-01-25 00:12

Wha tis this? - Tesla making an ad?! 😱🤯

umich_fan 2025-01-25 01:19

Does it have an actual rain sensor for the wipers? If not, count me out.

YaItzYoBoi 2025-01-25 02:51

I love it!

SirSpock 2025-01-25 13:14

This video made me realize the rear “lightbar” is more like a cavity for which a red glow indirectly fills the space. That depth effect is actually pretty interesting vs a plastic wrapped LED. I’m interested to see it IRL. A lot to like, considering the interior upgrades.

DBVickers 2025-01-25 15:03

I really disliked it at first, but it's really growing on me.

jaxon_15 2025-01-26 00:45

Tesla is doing there own adds now, don't remember them ever doing this

snowballkills 2025-01-26 06:39

It looks quite a bit like the X now imo in overall shape

lowspeed 2025-01-26 20:38

Why?

Dlcullina 2025-01-27 01:46

Temu unchained melody?

Dlcullina 2025-01-27 01:48

Temu unchained melody?

BauerUK 2025-01-28 11:30

Does anyone know if the pricing for this will stay the same in May when they replace the existing models or will this be 'launch series' pricing exclusive and it will come down to closer to the current prices?

redeyeusa 2025-02-28 14:35

When driving this, you be the reicheist in the hood
