Here are the “little secrets” of the Tesla Model y restyled!
The Tesla Model Y, seriously updated, is crucial for the Palo Alto brand. The famous electric SUV, not content with dominating the electric vehicle market with the head and shoulders, has become The best -selling vehicle in the worldall types of engines combined, in 2023. The final figures of 2024, still pending, should place this there in the same place.
But between the controversial political outings of the CEO Elon Musk, this new model y pending and an increasingly prepared competition, the sales figures collapse All over the world at the start of the year. Suffice to say that this new version, that We made you discover at the end of Januarywill have a lot to do if he wants to stay at the top of the global hierarchy.
Finishing levels and 7 -seater version
For the moment, the new Model Y, known as Juniper, is only available in Launch Series version and the first deliveries will start in March. This limited series will be followed, during the year by additional versions, of which we know nothing more, except that the technical sheets will change little or not, except the autonomy which should increase by about 3%.
In order to ensure sales, Tesla could notably quickly offer its entry -level propulsion or its large autonomy variant, both eligible for the ecological bonus in France as well as a version less equipped with an all -wheel drive variant.
Finally, the 7 -seater versionarrived very late in Europe on the outgoing model, should make its return faster this time. It remains to be seen whether it will still be available only on 4 -wheel drive versions or not.
Some interesting new features
Like the restyled Model 3 which recently received the possibility of LED matrix headlightsthe Tesla Model Y update will offer them … but not from the launch. As with his sedan sister, the option should arrive later via a remote update.
Very criticized by buyers on the new Model 3, the flashing commands remain, but they are seconded by a more classic commodo behind the steering wheel, which will delight everyone.
The roof has an improved low-e (low emissivity) glass with silver micro-depices, which help block 25 to 30 % additional heat entering the passenger compartment while reducing the sound level.
In general, the sound level was an important point of development. It must be said that the outgoing model was particularly not very pleasant on this point. Tesla claims that the new acoustic glass as well as the laminated glass rear bezel considerably reduces the sound of the passenger compartment, up to 20 % compared to the previous model. In this same perspective, the interior materials have been wrapped (cup holder covered with carpet, trunk lids and side trim, etc. all noise in the passenger compartment).
Finally, Tesla had thought about increasing the size of the battery in order to allow greater autonomy, but was changed in front of the additional cost that would scare away the end customer. It must be said that in this area, Tesla is already in good students.
