The redesigned Tesla Model Y ‘Juniper’ might have a new rear light bar
Tesla’s Model Y will look a lot different on the back and inside after its rumored redesign if new photos of the leaked “Juniper” model are to be believed. A user on Reddit shared the images, which include a close-up of the rear of what appears to be an updated Model Y with its security covers removed, revealing a red light bar with the word “Tesla” running across the hatch. The current model has more traditional taillights on the left and right, with a simple “T” logo in the center.
Another photo shows the interior of the car, which now appears to have seats that are perforated for ventilation, just like in the fully redesigned Model 3, as reported by Not a Tesla App. There’s also an interior ambient light strip running across the dash and doors that’s similar to what’s inside the Chinese Model Y. However, the light strip panel in this test Model Y vehicle looks a bit tacked on and, unlike the longer light strip in the Model 3, only runs to the middle of the door.

Any changes made to the Tesla Model Y, a worldwide bestselling car, can be daunting — people love the current one, so Tesla needs to make sure it’s still going to have mass appeal with a new look. It was suspected that a new Model Y would just copy the updated Model 3’s taillights with tines and squinty headlights. (The front has not been unveiled in this leak.)
From the beginning, the Model 3 and Y shared many of the same components and lacked much distinction in terms of design. Now, it looks like you’ll finally be able to tell the two apart at a quick glance, although the rest of the Model Y interior might still end up looking just like the Model 3. Hopefully, the new Model Y won’t copy the stalk-free driving experience from the Model 3 (and the S, X, and Cybertruck) that JD Power reported customers seem to hate.
