Default Model Y Refresh
Looks like a Tesla is doing iterative MY changes again:

- new wheels/covers
- new interior refinements (ambient light, trims)
- more power (red)

seems like pre juniper refresh release....

Some Model Y Refresh photos came out.





IMO rear looks better....current gen tail lights looks incomplete and weird (when they are on)

Front looks better than current gen but looks generic. I like the additional vents on the bumper and the removal of whatever that front bumper design was on the current gen. Reminds me of a Kona.

Looks rather tall and narrow but then the current one does too.

hmm looks similar to me. I doubt the dimensions have changed much if at all.

The design looks like it's going to follow the Model 3, make it more aerodynamic, smooth out some lines here and there, new lights, suspension and damper tuning. The design of the car itself will probably stay about the same. Basically a sleeker looking Model Y

I hate the cybertruck looking front end but maybe I’ll have to see it in person. I guess they also moved the headlights down? But both i
light modules look rather small. The M3 has a nice front end like the imaginary roadster.

I hope to God that's only a rendering and not going to be the taillights. They need to be the same as the new Model 3 's. No way I want to see lights like that

That's right from Tesla (China I think) that's the new Y. What's wrong with it, think it looks nice.

I hate those lights, I don't like light bars. They don't look good on any car that has them, IMO

Good thing you bought the 3! I'm a fan of LED bling if done right.
