Initial images of a completely exposed updated Tesla Model Y “Juniper” prototype have emerged on the internet.
The photographs reveal that Tesla has incorporated some “cyber” styling elements into their highest-selling model.
Recent observation details:
- Images of the suspected Tesla Model Y “Juniper” prototype recently surfaced on Chinese social media platforms.
- The vehicle was photographed at a winter testing location in Northeast China.
- In contrast to previous sightings, these images captured the vehicle completely free of camouflage.
- This marks the first documented sighting of a fully exposed Model Y “Juniper.”
Model Y “Juniper” exposed:
- The most striking feature in the leaked photos is the “cyber” lightbar on the apparent Model Y “Juniper,” which shares design similarities with the Cybertruck and Cybercab lighting systems.
Current Model Y “Juniper” speculations:
- While Elon Musk and Tesla remain tight-lipped about the Model Y “Juniper,” sightings of disguised prototypes have become more frequent lately.
- Following the Cybercab’s design approach, the “cyber” lightbar appears to function as the Model Y “Juniper’s” primary headlight system.
- The prototype displays front-end styling elements reminiscent of the updated Model 3 Performance, suggesting this particular unit might be a performance variant.
- A distinctive red light bar is visible on the vehicle’s rear section, positioned notably high.
- The prototype’s suspension height appears elevated in the captured images, potentially indicating the integration of the revised Model 3’s adaptive damping technology for enhanced ride comfort.
- Chinese sources indicate that Giga Shanghai has begun initial manufacturing of the refreshed electric crossover.
