The Tesla Model Y Juniper has finally been unveiled, ending months of suspense. This announcement was particularly anticipated in France, where delivery times for the Model Y Propulsion had been extended to May 2025 on the Tesla France website. This context had fueled speculation about the imminent arrival of a new version, and the Model Y Juniper has confirmed these expectations.
⚙️ A production still unclear
For now, the Model Y Juniper is officially produced at Tesla's Shanghai factory. This situation raises a major question for the French market: what about the ecological bonus ? Indeed, if the vehicles are not produced within the European Union, French buyers could lose this crucial financial advantage. It remains to be seen whether the Giga Factory in Berlin will in turn take over the production of the Juniper and thus meet the eligibility criteria for the ecological bonus.
🎨 A bold design that divides
The exterior design of the Model Y Juniper marks a real turning point. With lines inspired by the Cybercab (robotaxi) concept, this bold choice is sure to spark debate. While some will welcome this futuristic evolution, others may regret that it does not align more with the sleek and consensual style of the Model 3 Highland . The latter had managed to convince a wide audience thanks to its sober and elegant lines, the opposite of the more divisive approach of the Juniper.
An unexpected new feature (or a backpedal): the return of the turn signal activation switch! Gone on the Model 3 Highland to make way for buttons on the steering wheel, this innovation had not aroused the enthusiasm or satisfaction of customers.
🌏 Limited availability for now
The Model Y Juniper has only been unveiled in China so far. For additional visuals and details, visit Tesla's official Chinese website: https://www.tesla.cn/modely . To date, the model has not yet been presented on the brand's other sites.
If you want to buy the current version of the Tesla Model Y, now is the time to order it in its other versions, namely: long-range, long-range propulsion or performance. You can also take a look at the vehicles in stock which will probably benefit from interesting discounts in order to give pride of place to the new version.
🔍 A Model Y that appeals
The Model Y Juniper is shaping up to be a strategic model for Tesla. With uncertainties about its production location and an aesthetic that will leave no one indifferent, this new product could redefine public expectations for the Model Y range. While waiting for new announcements regarding a possible European production, Tesla fans will have to weigh the pros and cons before taking this order.
