What's new in this version
The 2025 update (known as Juniper) gave the Model Y new front and rear light bars, a quieter, better-finished cabin with ventilated front seats on most versions and a rear touchscreen, and revised suspension. The range now runs from the plain Model Y RWD through the Premium versions, with longer range, to the Performance.
