Model Y Juniper: Hype or Hold Off? A Longer Wheelbase for China, Really?
So, the Juniper leaks are swirling, and a Chinese-market long-wheelbase six-seater Model Y is apparently on the horizon for late 2025. Anyone else feel like this is a strange move? Are six seats in a Model Y even practical, or is this just a gimmick to cater to a specific market? What impact will this have on the overall design and handling?
Production starting in Shanghai this January for the standard Juniper seems aggressive, especially with reports of ongoing issues with the AP4 computer in other models. Are they rushing this refresh, or are these teething problems just par for the course with Tesla? Will early adopters be beta testers, or is this facelift truly ready for primetime?
Dropping the stalks and shifter for a minimalist interior is a bold choice. While it looks sleek, I wonder about the practicality. Will it be intuitive, or just another layer of complexity? Share your thoughts on this minimalist push – is it form over function, or a genuine improvement?
And the big question for US buyers: wait for the Juniper and potentially lose the $7,500 tax credit, or grab the current model now? Is the refresh worth sacrificing the incentive, or are we overestimating the actual improvements? Let the debate begin!
