[@b.e.e.l.i]

I've been working on this car for the last few months, it's been fun seeing what people got right and wrong

[@chrisrama7]

We love what you guys do ❤❤❤

[@abdulsaad8072]

When is the performance coming out?!!!!

[@metwono]

I’m only interested in the performance variant.

[@RamisDad]

I didn't expect it to get uglier

[@gjsxnobody7534]

What part were you on?

[@gavinflack4634]

Been released in Australia today as well with 20" wheels at no cost and all colours as standard and no additional costs

[@sphinx2k210]

The Launch Series with only 20" wheels is more premium price than the regular 19" wheel price which is meant to be similar to the old version, once the zero-day buyers have had their fill.

[@gregb1599]

All the costs have been added already, this is a lot more expensive than the old model, so the all colours are just included in the high extra cost.

[@maxstechnology6363]

Well the price has been increased by $7,500, so don't feel like you're getting a good deal with simple things like that included..

[@jeremymuther8656]

The glacier color is sick 🔥🔥

[@bwinkler19]

Lightbar distinguishing it from the model 3- absolutely!

[@jonathanpotato4574]

They copied from xpeng😂

[@WinterFrostx]

Was on the fence, but the turn signal stalk being kept has made my decision much easier.

[@ilexjin]

Yes, same here. The indicators get used all the time in city driving. Glad they listened.

[@pauld3327]

I bought one of the last pre-highland Model 3 in September 2023 when I saw they got rid of the indicator stalk on the refresh Model 3. It was such a dumb move 🤦

[@tombeardy4833]

​@@pauld3327I barely know someone wanting stalks back^^ including me :D i LOVE these buttons

[@michaelnurse9089]

Let me guess - you previously purchased vehicles based on cupholder configuration.

[@traceykaminsky6857]

I got the 3 refresh and I have a Y. I now prefer no stalks and it feels so archaic when I get back in the Y. Double tap the pedal to reverse or go forward.

[@syn6121]

Man model S and model X need some love 🥲

[@abc123fhdi]

rumors are they will refresh

[@kikyoass]

They already refreshed it in 2021. Glad they’re finally refreshing the model y

[@Adhgnis]

Damn straight .. they are not focused on for a while now 😢

[@ludicrousmodel3173]

The Roadster needs some love.

[@arctic_jake]

literally

[@Jamal2223]

Lol how many people rolled their eyes until they saw “This is not a drill”?? Hahahaha

[@ZeusTalks]

me actually

[@cabsy05]

Well, no wonder. It took like 30 videos before we got to really cover the matter.

[@thatguy.7608]

Nah I ran straight to the website. So disappointed 😔

[@shaggydogsales]

Finally, good video ryan. It was really getting old watching MY juniper speculation videos. I do wish Tesla would have done more after 4 years, like 800 volt architecture, PowerShare, drive by wire, etc

[@codycast]

3 and Y are designed to be the cheap versions of the S and X

[@Cheffjordi]

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEOOOO..YES!!!!

[@pauld3327]

Removing the indicator stalk on Model 3 was such a dumb idea 🤦

[@GetOutsideYourself]

Seems like Tesla acknowledged that. Hopefully they return it to the M3 and other models.

[@DecoyVoice]

wonder how long the wait list will be once it releases here i know a lot of people waiting specifically for the new Y

[@temaus]

Absence of the physical turn signals was the biggest deal for me. Glad to see them back off, but would love to see more physical controls anyways.

[@Joe-lb8qn]

Thats not going to happen but IMO stalks was a step too far.

[@SolvingTheWealthProblem]

So far your video is the most detail i saw on the refresh

[@ElMistroFeroz]

Did I hear correctly and this guy said the difference in width and height between this and its predecessor is ONE MILLIMETER? That’s nice, but i’m hoping that the max range is at least two millimeters further than the previous model.

[@mowensmd]

It's much more at >350mi

[@leok7193]

@@mowensmd *claimed. Tesla is known to get less than EPA estimates, while something like Porsche is known to get more

[@krash3231]

If they keep the same battery as this one the LR should get like 350 miles he said in the video

[@jeffberwick]

The stalks are the biggest news. Thanks for the preview!

[@NappyNoel004]

Bro I Hope You And Family Are Safe From Those Out Of Control Wildfires.

[@SwitchedOnNetwork]

VERY happy to see the indicator stalk! Would prefer to retain the drive selector one as well, but could live without that much more easily. Indicator stalk here in the UK is a must!

[@brandyn6644]

Power rear seats is all I’ve wanted. That is if they also push the front seat up to the necessary position in order to let the rear fold

[@leongeisberg294]

Thank you, Ryan, for bringing the new ModelY to us. It looks awesome.

[@je4501]

Australia Tesla page shows indicator stalk for blinkers.

[@courtney_350F]

Finally a real video! Very close to what I thought it would look like. The news about the stalks is huge. Now, bring on the PERFORMANCE model!

[@stevenbarta6638]

Very disappointed not to see a larger battery pack!!

[@krash3231]

Where would they put it lol

[@richardwilkinson8542]

I commented on this. It's really surprising to see Telsa stuck on that 300 - 340 range on their EVS for the last decade or so. :(

[@riickyworld1]

The Model X has a bigger battery pack. No need the Model Y to have a bigger battery pack, that would make it more expensive… and compete with the Model X.

[@lkrnpk]

In China there are also not many models going over... Nio has the swappable big battery, I think maybe one or another car too, but still not putting in huge batteries

[@gregb1599]

​@@krash3231The same place they put the larger battery in the AWD and performance models duh!

[@EVandMe]

Front looks like a Hyundai Kona and the rear looks like a Prius

[@ralaneu]

Right? So innovative.

[@farhatsam8529]

Correct, Tesla is more and more doing like Japanese and Asian brands, look the model 3! They are no more distinguished

[@Techning]

I like the new Model Y much more than the old one. Great improvements and I'm glad that they are keeping the stalks. Only disappointment is that there is now new platform or at least a bigger battery. 75 kWh capacity is just not enough for me personally. At higher highway speeds (Germany) the current Model Y is too inefficient compared to the Model 3 which brings the range down to about 300 kilometers in my experience.

[@alexbutler1944]

I'd love to see that steering wheel and stalk be compatible with existing model 3 highlands. I've gotten used to my buttons, but would still definitely prefer a stalk

[@krash3231]

They’ll probably bring it back or sell you one with a retrofit, otherwise that company that makes the S3XY buttons has a stalk kit for like $300

[@RyanCowan]

Great recap Ryan !!

[@2Ronin666]

The light bar in front I don’t think is the headlights (like CT), that’s why in all the pictures you see a beam coming from “fog light” below it

[@97catalunya]

“Some customers still like a stalk” This should be “some markets need stalks” I have lived in Dubai where they use the US road system, so I can see how indicator buttons are easy to adapt to. But I’m from the U.K. where many junctions have a roundabout, some are very small “mini roundabouts” So picture the situation where you want to take an exit off the roundabout and need to indicate but the steering wheel is upside down, this throws muscle memory out the window and makes you use thought “wheel is upside down so buttons on the other side and the top button is now the bottom button” may only take a couple of seconds but you just missed your exit! Try it on a future video in your Highland, find a small roundabout or go to a carpark and try the indicators whilst the wheel is upside down 🤯 lol

[@John-Edward]

Love the new look and Turn Signal stalk!!! I’m a Model 3 guy that might consider the Y for the new design details!?!? Might wait to see if those come to the 3 though too?

[@et3322]

Love it. The new blue color is nice. Looking forward to seeing the performance version with better wheels and spoiler.

[@jameshersee169]

I’m so glad it looks good. Congratulations to the team behind this! Can’t wait to see them around the place

[@seewind]

Looking good. Any word on the sound proofing improvements?

[@trythis2821]

My first impressions are that I really like this car because it is different. I can order from Australian website, but it is the more expensive model, will wait until they release the standard model Y as is already a stretch price wise.

[@gregb1599]

Well you do get any paint colour for no additional cost. As well as standard 20" wheels. But yeah a lot more expensive still!

[@timefly4221]

I just picked up a 2025 Model 3 a couple weeks ago and love it! My two gripes are the lack of a turn signal stalk and the lack of a nose camera (I have a very snug garage). It's funny those are the two new main features they added beyond mirroring the Model 3 changes.

[@OhYaSure]

You can add a stalk! 🎉 But you may also get used to it like I did. I also have a tight garage - just use reference markers.

[@goofy_xf6223]

Maybe they listen to their paying customers

[@zoltrix7779]

Great, now bring back the gear selector.

[@jlnoell]

Hoping it would have had more range. Oh well.. Will wait until they give a free FSD transfer before I update to this new version. Usually the incentives come at the end of the year if sales are slow.

[@Tanax13]

Sounds like great upgrades! Only thing I would have wanted is ceiling handles, so that older people can get in and out of the car easier! Not a deal breaker for sure, but pretty much all cars has this.

[@dmc1241]

Yes, I have patiently been waiting for this car since first hearing about it. The first day that I had my 2021 model Y my big complaint was the ride discomfort and road noise!

[@colinmaxwell2436]

I would have loved to see Vehicle to load type charging functionality…Glad to see the stalks are back. There was zero chance of me changing my current Model Y if I had to have no stalks. Oh, softer suspension is a must for UK roads.

[@mrjomaled755]

I'll wait for the R2...fingers crossed

[@GetOutsideYourself]

Keep 'em crossed, and pinching those pennies. The R2 ain't going to be cheap.

[@RIVvideos]

Looks pretty futuristic

[@yuripantioukhin1082]

*because it is.*

[@ninzaa12]

The upper part is only the light bar and integrated blinkers. Head lights are below the light bar

[@dushyantravi6549]

Can the light bar be turned off?

[@kishorenarayan-m4y]

i dont think this update will be enough to get sales especially with all the new competition. Also how come no powertrain upgrade?

[@ssebers1903]

I will buy a Tesla for the charging network and I really like the cars and truck.

[@Smithy2222]

Weird thing to say since Tesla's worst selling model still sells more than all of most other brands combined.

[@corbett666]

Tesla Y has been the top selling car in the U.K. for 2 years now. Model 3 is number 2, I think this refresh will just increase its lead!

[@kevinmanan1304]

Still no competition. Closest thing is an Ioniq 5 and this is better in performance.

[@michalklucz6907]

10:24 think about the cost of minor parking collision if you would have to replace the whole bar and both DRLs... car would be totalled :) I am so happy to see indicators stalk, overall - great update.

[@Joe-lb8qn]

I wonder if they will do a mid life refresh of the 3 with stalks. Whether or nit stalks / no stalks is actually better In practice , its clear that many are just put off by lack of stalks and wont try. Also, in environments with lots of roundabouts (aka circles) stalks are more practical even if you can "get usedl to their absence. As a shareholder i welcome anything that removes a barrier to sales

[@michaelfink64]

Hi Ryan, I just checked the Australian Tesla website and it is available to order here. Estimated delivery May. LR (551 km WLTP) @ AUD79,452 drive away (in Victoria), RWD (466 km WLTP) @ AUD69,032 drive away.

[@gregb1599]

Unfortunately the price has increased quite a bit, while the other very popular Chinese EV have had another price reduction.

[@FraiseVache]

​@@gregb1599the price increase is probably Tesla expecting an order rush. This would limit it somewhat and increase profit. Prices will likely go down during the next 12 months.

[@Kixolisjous]

SO Happy I waited! Looking forward to when this is being shipped to Europe.

[@KP-xi4bj]

Not feeling the front end.

[@ms4046]

Looks more like chinese car

[@HNedel]

Not great but still better implementation than the Model 3 imo. The old Model 3 front was better than Highlander.

[@ChiliM4n]

The back light bar not being a direct LED strip but rather the reflection of a hidden LED strip is actually kinda cool. Gives it a more futuristic look.

[@AwesomeSauceShow]

Looks great, but I expected more on the battery and range front.

[@greenearth9945]

Thats a bummer for sure

[@agreenfield63]

I ordered today in Australia with the website saying deliveries starting in May. Love the new features but I was hoping for a 240v outlet in the trunk and vehicle to home but oh well. Damned if I’ll buy a powerwall when there’s 140kWh of batteries in the garage.

[@chiziteremobasi6042]

Wonder what upgrade the performance trim will bring

[@Dryloch]

If it matches the Model 3 Performance it will have adjustable suspension that you can set to be softer when not hustling the car. That along with better seats and slightly faster by .2 seconds.

[@accountname7738]

Why do they keep neglecting to add a heads up display? They have all the features of a premium car except for that.

[@Bernd-b1y]

Tesla only has outdated tech, that's why

[@emazonreviews6269]

TBH that stalk addition is a good idea and practical Let’s see one in the flesh !

[@venkatasujith]

After owning and driving Model Y for two years, I sincerely believe it did not justify the premium label, there's significant room for improvement and I see, it can’t catch up with minor changes.

[@tcoxy]

Some good improvements and enhancements but I reckon the whole line is overdue for a full refresh and redesign inside and out

[@tommac5411]

Tesla now looks like an Oldsmobile!

[@vinkamboj1]

Yes, want to get it ASAP, my lease runs out 3/5/25, hope to order in 🇺🇸 soon

[@cyrusthegreat1370]

6 months to a year

[@MilesCone]

I love it!! I am ordering one as soon as it’s available!! Thanks for this update!!

[@gcajay8225]

That looks like a prius, especially the back.

[@crm114.]

Indicator stalk, a big plus; lack of 800V, a big negative. Nice overview BTW.

[@icare7151]

Can’t wait until the major refresh Model X

[@jeffmichaels1703]

I'm not impressed enough to dump my 2023 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD which I'm enjoy tremendously and the ongoing FSD updates adding to so much more of the vehicle's function and safety. Additionally, the loss of the $7,500 Point of Sale discount scheduled to end on 1/20/25 only justfies my decision NOT to buy the Juniper along with the depreciation hit I would be taking. So I'll wait for the next major revision on the Model Y in 4+ years. I truly enjoy my 2023.

[@golfdegenerate]

Hope they release a 6 seat version

[@beyondzeroemissions]

I hope they release a 7 8 and 9 seat version - 6 is a dumb number of seats

[@travellingslim]

Decent visual refresh but probably not enough for me to upgrade. Would have liked to see a bit more tech and battery upgrades

[@electrolyse]

same, w/o a battery upgrade I won't change.

[@blakenny]

hope the lightbar doesn't crack, but same could be said about headlights I guess

[@mowensmd]

Best Tesla content on YT anymore. Nice job Ryan.

[@ineumeyer]

Great video, Ryan. 👌🏽

[@pierreblattner4527]

I love the blinker stock!!

[@skillet3753]

Finally, now I can buy the old model Y for much cheaper now😀

[@Jenicek25]

Looks great! Definitely a hot candidate for my next car!

[@LouisChiaki]

I need my signal stalk on my Model 3!!!

[@pauld3327]

The indicator stalk will probably come back on the Model 3...

[@Wombats-1]

Man that’s nice. The front looks amazing. They nailed that it

[@bohicajohnson7203]

And I have ordered one! Red, white interior and AWD

[@Bikerbug2020]

Dang, they need to put back the wiper stalk and include HUD.

[@richardwilkinson8542]

The ride update is key. Honestly, I'm sort of surprised that Tesla is taking so long to dramatically increase battery technology. :( I bought the model S in 2013 with 259 miles range. 12 years later...maybe 350 ish??? That's one hundred miles of range increase over 12 years (keep in mind the 100D was close to 300 back then). The cost of the battery has come down but the lack of breakthroughs in EV range is sort of shocking.

[@michaelyslas664]

Yeah, I’m not feeling the front light bar. I was kinda hoping they did steer by wire and faster charging. I am also hoping/think it’ll be cool if they launch the performance model first in the US.

[@dannywinget]

I have mixed feelings about the design but we all know it will sell like freaking crazy

[@samovog]

Thank god for the stalks. I drive a Model S 2023 and the blinkers and horn are a disaster to use.

[@TheAutomotiveReview]

Hi Ryan, Great Commentary. The lack of interior stacks, buttons and nobs is a big no go for many consumers who are very traditional drivers. The Styling of the New Model Y is fantastic but the concern is the illumination provided by the front light bar. It would have been great to see tiny rectangular pop up headlights on this vehicle. Tesla needs to refresh the Models S & X to mirror the styling of the Cybertruck and this new Model Y. I would love to see a van version of the Model X for those customers with mobility issues and or those customers who just need more interior space - Model T = Transport or W = Wagon.

[@B.Lee_GKJ]

About time lol. Even though we already knew

[@morten_hannesbo]

This is it? It is just a minor facelift. This will not be enough to bring Tesla Model Y sales back to old highs for very long. Expect price cuts to come.

[@SandroGrafSoni]

Agree, competition is fierce, some very attractive models from competitors

[@WhiteEvo6]

Available for order in Australia as well. Glad I didn’t wait and grabbed the previous model y a few months ago. I was worried they’d remove the stalks, glad they didn’t. The rear screen really didn’t interest me enough to wait longer plus the cars significantly more expensive, another $10,000 AUD 😮

[@liam1902]

It's $10k AUD more expensive than the prior Model Y?!?

[@FraiseVache]

​@@liam1902probably a launch thing

[@danielericsson9008]

-to b.e.e.l.i What a nice car - Tesla goes from strength to strength

[@sketchbook10]

I wonder how visibility will be affected by the narrow lights? I heard that was an issue with the cybertruck.

[@benjaminmartin3212]

Headlights are coming from the fog light area not the light bar

[@benjaminmartin3212]

Cyber truck issue was because it’s right above the front bumper step so snow sits in front. Not an issue on this car

[@FreedomFinanceFun]

I like the new glacier color. I wonder if the stalk is coming back to the 3?

[@electrolyse]

Chinese market only it seems. USA and Europe won't have it.

[@FreedomFinanceFun]

@electrolyse FSD is much further along. Hoping in a year we get robo taxi

[@FraiseVache]

​​@@electrolysethat's would be stupid for Europe. USA can get away without it but Europe is like China. Most people I know here see the lack of stalk as a complete show stopper. I fully expect this stalk on the Berlin version too. It would be a stupid move not to include it. We have tons of roundabouts in Europe.

[@sfrealestatedealmaker6001]

A retractable Sunroof would have been nice

[@markseers8587]

Acoustic glass? HW4 cpu failures resolved?

[@duanebonney]

RE: indicator stalks.... I'm a Highland owner for 4 months now. I say bring the stalks back. Why? Well, on the streets, it's fine. BUT when in car parks (where you need to turn 90 degrees or more and manoeuvring a lot), it is hard to choose the indicators. So in my opinion, very wise move, Tesla.

[@devonwade1217]

I want to order this as soon as it becomes available

[@ffbells]

I was hoping for vehicle to home, like the Cybertruck has.

[@MannyKings5]

Needs 360 camera and a rear view mirror camera and it might be perfect.

[@icare7151]

Snow is an issue for the front camera

[@benjaminmartin3212]

Any car with the front camera has the same issue. It has integrated cleaners

[@paulmcgraw9284]

Nice looking set of wheels! Love that it has a stalk for directionals! 😊😊

[@bernardmills4575]

looks great. Id have one if i could aford it. will have to stick with existing model for some time

[@Streeknine]

Can't wait for them to hit the used market. I'm excited about the blinker stalk. That was my only apprehension on it.

[@TechAddict-r1k]

😍 thy absolutely nailed that!!!! 🎉

[@formytots0128]

New Model Y looks great and reminds me of the CyberCab. Thanks for the video. :)

[@Funvideohub5]

Needs the stalk to switch gears drive reverse etc

[@evolv.e]

Not really. The blinker stalk was by far much more important to bring back.

[@GetOutsideYourself]

I've gotten used to the new system on my new M3. I especially like how it auto-changes for parking. Works pretty well.

[@Fredoffcourse]

Finally. Can’t wait to order❤🔥🎯

[@randytaylor4766]

I'm buying it once the Performance model is released.
