Nice. Looks like the wheels' aero covers are removed.

fanzakh 2025-03-03 00:04

Front just doesn't do it for me. Rear is alright though.

Fala7iKing 2025-03-03 00:15

Im the opposite

fanzakh 2025-03-03 00:16

But this looks like Hyundai Kona and Chevy Equinox combined, two cars that are generally considered not much to look at.

Kornbelly 2025-03-03 00:20

Very nice!

Shygar 2025-03-03 00:21

Maybe they tried chains, can't put chains on with wheel covers

NowChew 2025-03-03 00:35

I’ll take “not much to look at” over the previous frog-like front end. And I say this as a ‘21 Model 3 owner which is equally froggy.

americanmuscle1988 2025-03-03 00:37

The rear didn't do it for me from the initial leaked pictures. Love both front and back now

Creepy_Bee3404 2025-03-03 00:49

Yes you can

MisterBumpingston 2025-03-03 00:57

Lights are not on they don’t draw attention right now. I also think white hides them better, as well.

puffyjacket85 2025-03-03 01:01

I think it's ugly (because I don't have one)

Fantastic_Train_7270 2025-03-03 01:14

White looks the best so far, need more pics of black tho

ForeAmigo 2025-03-03 01:40

I don’t necessarily dislike the new one but the more pics I see, the happier I am I got the discounted outgoing MYP

Nosnibor1020 2025-03-03 01:45

Kinda looks like the Polestar.

iamarealboy88 2025-03-03 01:50

Does not speak luxury

Big_Comparison2849 2025-03-03 01:52

It’s like they copied the new Bolt…

[deleted] 2025-03-03 01:52

Rear light looks like Nissan aria.

thefalconfromthesky 2025-03-03 02:04

I feel the same.

Cheap looking

DankestNameOnReddit 2025-03-03 02:33

Northstar?

fanzakh 2025-03-03 03:10

M3 highland did a great job with the front design. I'm not sure whu MY has to be so different.

MysteriousFist 2025-03-03 03:17

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[deleted] 2025-03-03 03:22

What's the battery capacity on these bad boys?

fanzakh 2025-03-03 03:36

Rear light on Arya is the only thing going for it. MY's rear light is reflected and it looks nice. Wish it was more similar to M3 highland though

ThisIsJustNotIt 2025-03-03 04:02

Dropped by Tesla Paramus’s parking lot a couple of hours ago to check one out. The white one is definitely the best, and as people said, it looks much better in person than in photos. I didn’t see one with its back end lit up, but the front is really sleek. It might be the most extreme case of “photos don’t do it justice” I’ve ever encountered haha

Palisades

shaggy99 2025-03-03 09:11

It will be cheaper to build.

Life_Connection420 2025-03-03 11:21

I thought these were already being sold.

dexterie 2025-03-03 12:16

Same

Technical_Act3541 2025-03-03 13:44

Nor should it at its price.

nFgOtYYeOfuT8HjU1kQl 2025-03-03 14:41

Yeah I think both white and black look really good. I ordered the white.

Responsible-Income30 2025-03-03 16:38

Lovely!

JAAAAPAAAN 2025-03-03 17:17

I think Tesla just wants to differentiate their cars so people can tell the difference between the models more easily. Also more options in design will probably also bring in more buyers. But ngl I like the highland model 3’s design more than this, but if they copied the 3’s design on the Y, the 3 still would have looked nicer.

JAAAAPAAAN 2025-03-03 17:18

The range is better than before due to better aerodynamics. But I think the battery pack size is the same as the old Y.

fanzakh 2025-03-03 17:18

Now this light bar front looks like cybertruck, which is not a good thing. M3 and MY should look like each other in my opinion. Like MS to MX.

JAAAAPAAAN 2025-03-03 17:19

People should be receiving it during this month (march), but there were initial preorders before.

JAAAAPAAAN 2025-03-03 17:22

I do agree, but I feel like the Y trying to look like the 3 will always make it look “worse” than the 3. Giving it a new deign is nice, but for a family car, I feel like this new look is very aggressive and techy…

Serialtoon 2025-03-03 19:02

If this were true they wouldn’t have gone with the Kona/Equinox look.

No-Nothing-1885 2025-03-03 19:28

Nice KIA

VideoGameJumanji 2025-03-03 20:30

Yeah I think it looks generic and souless, too many EVs have the dumb lightbar day lights already idk what they were thinking.

d1ckpunch68 2025-03-03 22:50

to be clear, you can do whatever you want, but the manufacturer recommends removing them to avoid scratching the covers. [source for model 3, but same for all models](https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/2017_2023_model3/en_us/GUID-94F63B13-EA2C-45D9-83AB-5DCA6295D587.html)

d1ckpunch68 2025-03-03 22:52

chinese market loves light bars, and china is buying tesla's like hotcakes. i am disappointed that they didn't fix the CT lightbar snow accumulation issue. a lot of people were theorizing that they did. well my car is a 2022 so i can wait. i personally only care to upgrade once they launch an LFP MY with Powershare. hopefully by then we see some lightbar improvements as well. see you all in neverland.

shuacore 2025-03-04 03:09

Nah I think that’s a Kona

engwish 2025-03-04 04:57

Looks aren’t everything. The build quality is much better. My model Y compared to my model 3 highland is a night and day difference.

Creepy_Bee3404 2025-03-04 07:23

The covers are dirt cheap to replace. I’m more afraid of scratching the rims under the covers 🤣

[deleted] 2025-03-04 16:36

Chainsaw

CallMePyro 2025-03-05 15:18

Exactly. If you want luxury but you’re looking at a model Y, you’re looking in the wrong place.

MoDa65 2025-03-05 19:32

new design is better than the 3/y. The old 3/y just look like that... OLD. its not edgy, all the roundness and curves is 90s and 00s look. Makes it look dated. good move for tesla with the highland and juniper designs. It brings the design more with the times.

MoDa65 2025-03-05 19:33

I prefer it that way. brands are lazy when they make the front end all the same design language. kia/hyundai--for example, designs all over the place but not a bad thing. if the design one year sucks, if its copy and paste like toyota does, then the entire line that year sucks. at least if the front design is hated only by some, it wont translate on another model since it would be different.

MoDa65 2025-03-05 19:34

you say that like an insult as KIA/hyundai has zipped up to one of the top selling brands in the USA. Not to mention their EVs are actually a lot better feature wise

MoDa65 2025-03-05 19:35

LOL, you summed up old model Y owners feelings. Thats how it was with the highland. All the old 3 owners were hating HARD. they knew their time was up and would now be considered old news

ZiaMan24 2025-03-05 21:25

That's funny because a few years ago I saw a Model S plaid with the Yoke for the first time in Tahoe as well.

JustAcivilian24 2025-03-07 01:53

Sure bud

fathrunda 2025-03-07 17:44

I think I'll just stick with a Honda.

IM2MERS 2025-03-09 00:27

I love the red, of course. I loved the red in the old model y too, but with the new reflective red light in the back, it just looks even better!!! White seats must have!!!!

IM2MERS 2025-03-09 00:31

It's a $70k car!!!! What do you need to spend for it to be luxurious in your mind? you must be loaded!!!! My $30k dollar sentra is luxurious, and it looks it too!!! In the mind of any financially responsible person, anything more than a car that has wheels and a motor is luxurious.

IM2MERS 2025-03-09 00:38

Everyone gets a choice. honda is great. i love my sentra, but the second I can, I'm upgrading to those ventilated seats, and that awesome 0-60. i love launching even just my sentra with the 10 second 0-60 lol. If it's not worth it for you, it's not worth it, but here in texas, ventilated seats are a must-have, and I haven't found a vehicle i like that has them too except tesla.

IM2MERS 2025-03-09 00:41

I mean snow...

CallMePyro 2025-03-09 00:58

I’m sarcastically agreeing /u/technical_act3541. Ask them, they’re the one with all the upvotes for that idiotic statement

IM2MERS 2025-03-09 00:59

Ah, sometimes sarcasm doesn't come through too well on account of stupid people saying stupid shit on the internet all the time and being completely serious.

Dopechess 2025-03-10 15:08

Weak AF

[deleted] 2025-03-12 12:01

Your $30,000 Sentra is not luxurious and it doesn’t look it either. Stop lying to yourself lol It’s a Nissan Sentra. Nothing about a Nissan is luxurious.

zsewell 2025-03-14 12:22

Those actually look pretty good.

summitcreature 2025-03-31 17:43

It's wild seeing Superchargers completely unoccupied at busy times here in North Tahoe. Like all the Tesla cars have vanished overnight.
