The Tesla Model Y Juniper refresh, which is starting production at Tesla's Giga Shanghai, is anticipated to bring several updates to the popular electric SUV, some of which echo features seen or expected in Tesla's Cybercab (also known as the Robotaxi).
Design and Features:
From posts on X and various reports, the Model Y Juniper is expected to undergo a facelift similar to what was observed with the Model 3 Highland update. This includes:
Exterior Styling: The headlights of the Model Y Juniper are rumored to resemble those of the Cybercab, adopting a slimmer single line and more aggressive design which aligns with Tesla's newer design language. This change not only refreshes the look, but might also improve lighting efficiency and visibility.
Interior Updates: Like the updated Model 3, the Juniper Model Y might incorporate ambient lighting, a new textile dashboard material replacing the wood trim, and possibly improved materials for a more premium feel. This aligns with the interior aesthetics expected in future Tesla vehicles, potentially including the Cybercab, focusing on minimalism and functionality.
Lighting: There's mention of a new rear light bar on the Model Y, which could enhance visibility and give it a distinctive nighttime signature, somewhat mirroring the futuristic look of the Cybercab with its potentially unique lighting features.
Functional Similarities:
Autonomous Driving Hardware: While not explicitly mentioned for the Juniper, the Cybercab's focus on autonomy suggests that future Tesla models, including updates like the Juniper, might continue to enhance their hardware and software for better autonomous driving capabilities. This could mean improvements in camera placement and processing power, although directly tied features like the removal of the steering wheel or pedals (as in the Cybercab) aren't confirmed for the Juniper.
Platform and Production: The Model Y Juniper might benefit from manufacturing improvements or platform tweaks that could be shared with or inspired by the Cybercab project. This could involve more efficient production techniques or modular design elements that make both vehicles easier to produce or customize.
