- The headlights of the vehicle also seemed quite aggressive based on the video.
- The vehicle’s suspension looked very stable as well, even with prototype’s ride height and speed.
Model Y “Juniper” rumors:

The big picture:
- The Model Y is Tesla’s best-selling vehicle, and in 2023, it became the world’s best-selling car by volume.
- It is, however, still being sold mostly with its original design. Its sibling, the Model 3, received an extensive update last year.
- Expectations are high that an updated Model Y will give Tesla an even bigger edge in the electric vehicle market.
