Tesla China just started selling a new Model Y, but it's not as big of an upgrade as the recent Model 3 refresh.
The new version of Model Y has the same exterior design, though the standard "Gemini" wheels are now painted black (instead of silver and black). A reminder: The recently updated Model 3 refresh has new headlights and tail lights, among other changes.
Inside, the refreshed Model Y does inherit some (but not all) traits of the updated Model 3; for example, it has an LED ambient lighting stripe alongside the dashboard. The main display appears unchanged, and the additional, rear display for back passenger is missing.
The LED stripe is here, but the display appears to be the same as in the previous version.

The specs are slightly different, too. The base model, for example, has a 554 kilometer (up from 545 km) range, and a 5.9 second 0-100 kmh time (down from 6.9 seconds). The long range variant has a maximum range of 688 km, up from 600 km.
