Appears I'm in the minority here, but I think it looks good. It's a nice refresh that brings a lot of modern and current design touches to the interior and exterior. I like the small details like the cosmetic design of the speaker shown in the pic; it adds a bit to the feel of the interior IMO. I assume the pics shown are the Performance model - but can anyone verify? I do like the silver wheels as a nice change from the black wheels on mine.

Any news on when this hits the US market?

Agreed, I think it's definitely a lot better looking than the previous design.

I definitely like it, it looks modern, just not a fan of light bars, which every SUV has now. But I'm reserving any judgement until I actually go and see one in person

I also like the update - I think it looks great. Keen to understand the extent to which Juniper does for the Y what Highland did for the 3.

The outgoing car was not pretty at all IMO, awkwardly shaped etc. This is better looking than it is for sure IMO.

I found only Model Y Performance to look good, wheels and spoiler did give it a nice look.

With base plastic wheels it just looked narrow and frumpy.

Nice didn't think that would come to North America.

Looks like no stalks in the US

Edit: I'm wrong, they have a turn signal stalk, but shifting is in the screen

I wonder how many people will click to order the Long Range or Performance and not realize it's the old body style... I was clicking around to try and price out a performance and the only way to order the new one is with the "Launch" edition. The pictures of the car clearly show you it's the old body style, but it's a bit confusing/misleading when I clicked on the "Order Now" of the "New Model Y" on the homepage, but then it gives you options for Performance and 2 LR models that are all the old body style...
