Dubbed “Project Juniper,” the Model Y refresh aims to maintain the vehicle’s status as Tesla’s best-selling model as competition heats up in the EV space. With a starting price around $44,000, the Model Y has proven highly popular among consumers looking for an affordable and stylish electric crossover. 

The Model Y refresh will be an important part of Tesla’s product lineup in 2024 and beyond. As legacy automakers ramp up their electric vehicle offerings, Tesla continues to refine its designs and technologies to stay ahead of rivals. The refreshed Model Y aims to keep Tesla’s products fresh and competitive in the increasingly crowded EV marketplace. More details on “Project Juniper” will likely emerge as its production launch nears next year.
