0:00 Speaker A: This is the new Tesla Model Y. Speaker B: Ever since it first arrived in 2020, the Model Y has been a huge commercial success. Speaker C: Now it's striking back even stronger with this update. Speaker D: Watching this right now, you can order a brand new Tesla Model Y. Speaker E: Kind of like the cybertruck, it's got the whole kind of like light bar all the way here. Speaker F: Welcome back to re Review where we watch all the reviews so you don't have to.
0:25 Speaker F: Today we're diving deep into the 2025 Tesla Model Y Juniper refresh. Speaker F: And there's been a lot of buzz, speculation, leaked photos, and now finally the official reveal. Speaker F: Is it a worthy upgrade or just a facelift? Speaker F: Let's hear from the experts. Speaker D: This is the Tesla Model Y 2025 refresh, or Juniper as it's also known in the Tesla community. Speaker D: And literally watching this right now, you can order a brand new Tesla Model Y.
0:51 Speaker C: Many have tried to challenge the Tesla model. Speaker C: Yes. Speaker C: Now it's striking back even stronger with this update here. Speaker E: The new Model Y. I didn't immediately hate the new design for the Model Y and it's actually been just growing on me. Speaker E: The more and more that I see it, I honestly kind of like it. Speaker G: Actually getting into this thing, it just feels so much more comfortable, so much easier to get into than the Model 3.
1:18 Speaker G: You've really got a higher seating position. Speaker H: I think it's a pretty much a slam dunk of a midlife refresh. Speaker H: They've made it incrementally better in just about every measurable way and much nicer to look at. Speaker B: Ever since it first arrived in 2020, the Model Y has been a huge commercial success for Tesla. Speaker B: In 2023, it was the best selling car in the world and it's expected to have achieved the same feat in 2024.
1:43 Speaker F: Right off the bat, it's clear that the Model Y is making waves. Speaker F: The higher seating position is a plus and the design is growing on people. Speaker F: But is it all just good looks or is there a substance under the hood? Speaker F: Let's start by examining the design. Speaker A: This is way better, isn't it? Speaker A: Actually looks quite good for like a mid level family suv. Speaker A: Some key differences, you probably notice the rear lights, which look very, very cool. Speaker G: This is really cool. Speaker G: The way the light is just kind of reflecting down on the bar.
2:10 Speaker G: It looks really cool in person. Speaker G: It's actually very 3D. Speaker G: That doesn't really get captured in photos. Speaker H: Obviously very similar side profile. Speaker H: Basically nothing's changed on the side. Speaker B: So down here there's no badge at the front and there's also a new light bar, which looks a lot like Tesla's Cyber Cab. Speaker C: And the cybertruck updated front bumper for better aerodynamics. Speaker C: It's being said that it's actually 5% more efficient and also 20% more better.
2:40 Speaker C: As for the noise reduction, so more insulated, better in aerodynamics, here is the new wheel cover. Speaker E: So you can see it's got the two different colors, it's got the darker tone, the black tone here. Speaker A: Fake leather in the old car does feel a little bit plasticky. Speaker A: And, you know, while the quality here on the door trims is okay, I like the alcantore bit here. Speaker A: When you move over to the new car, that just feels more expensive.
3:06 Speaker A: They've made the door release bigger, so it's easier to actually find the button when you're trying to get out in a hurry. Speaker H: We've got aluminium speaker covers. Speaker H: That's unique to the Y. Speaker H: It is a fair bit nicer in here. Speaker H: There's no plastic sills anymore. Speaker H: It's just lovely carpets all the way through. Speaker B: Elsewhere, there's new ambient lighting. Speaker B: There's a new glass sunroof which lets in 26% less solar radiation, which should make it easier to keep the cabin cool.
3:33 Speaker A: Also, the fake leather in the old car does feel a little bit plasticky. Speaker A: And. Speaker A: And, you know, while the quality here on the door trims is okay, I like the alcantore bit here. Speaker A: When you move over to the new car, that just feels more expensive. Speaker F: Finally, it's not just about the striking light bars and the futuristic design. Speaker F: Tesla is clearly focused on improving the overall build quality, the feel of the materials and the aerodynamic efficiency, making this Model Y a more refined and premium feeling vehicle.
4:02 Speaker H: So they've not just chucked a slightly bigger battery in. Speaker H: That's the lazy way. Speaker H: And of increasing range, this is the clever way of increasing range. Speaker H: Just a few more numbers, actually. Speaker H: We'll get those out of the way. Speaker H: 060 Time. Speaker H: That has naturally come down to an even more absurd point. Speaker H: So that dual motor car can do the 060 print in 4.1 seconds. Speaker H: That was supercar acceleration 20 years ago. Speaker C: They said they even took a look at all the individual electric consumers to make them more efficient.
4:31 Speaker C: So the official figure says now 1.3 kilowatt hours on 100 kilometers less of consumption. Speaker E: I do think that the new Model Y Juniper will take the crown back from the Model 3 in terms of ride comfort, sound isolation and just overall how smooth the car is on noisier roads. Speaker A: Unlike in the Model 3 and the Model S, you do have an indicator stalk.
4:56 Speaker A: Yay. Speaker B: Unfortunately, there's no plan to put a physical indicator stalk back in the Model 3 in the future. Speaker B: Tesla has, though, taken away the gear selector for the new Model Y, so it will have the same unusual predictive touchscreen setup, which I absolutely hate. Speaker H: My big gripe with the Model Y is it's bloody firm, it's not very comfortable, especially in the back, and that kind of detracts from its premiumness.
5:22 Speaker H: They've not changed the hardware, but they've just retuned it. Speaker H: They've fiddled with it in the name of improved handling and improved comfort. Speaker A: There is no discernible difference in the shape or the size of the boot. Speaker A: However, Tesla quotes that in total, the new Model Y has 2130 liters of storage space, whereas the old car has 2150. Speaker B: The 15.4 inch touchscreen infotainment system is the same size as before and has pretty much the same software as before.
5:48 Speaker B: But it now has thinner bezels because. Speaker A: The brake pedal does feel different. Speaker A: And they said that they've improved the braking performance on the vehicle to allow more energy recapture through the brake pedal,. Speaker F: So it's quicker, more efficient and promises a smoother, quieter ride. Speaker F: They've even kept the physical indicator stock a win for many. Speaker F: Plus, the infotainment system remains top notch. Speaker F: But how do these changes translate to the everyday driving experience now being a.
6:15 Speaker D: Mid sized suv, I think Tesla have recognised this because one thing that I didn't really pick up as a negative on the previous one, just because it kind of made up for it in other areas. Speaker D: But if you had to fold down the rear seats, they were manual. Speaker G: So you open the door, you get this launch series logo projected on the ground. Speaker G: It also says launch series here. Speaker G: Getting in, you can see the seats are at a higher position.
6:40 Speaker G: Immediately getting into this thing, it just feels so much more comfortable, so much easier to get into than the Model 3. Speaker A: We've got a little front camera right. Speaker G: There and supposedly there's like a washer right underneath there, so we can see. Speaker A: If that sprays out. Speaker F: But. Speaker B: And in the back, the seat cushions are longer than before. Speaker B: There's an 8 inch rear screen and now you can electrically adjust the angle of the backrest using these buttons down here.
7:08 Speaker A: You've got a cubby space there, but now the cup holders are covered just so. Speaker A: It has a nice cleaner design to it. Speaker D: Now, the Model Y has been one of the most popular electric cars out there. Speaker D: It carries a lot of responsibility. Speaker C: How do you improve range gains? Speaker C: They are all because of this new efficiency and not because they have changed something of the battery capacity. Speaker C: The very concise battery capacity. Speaker C: That's something I also criticize because you never get like official information from that.
7:35 Speaker A: You see the longest range four wheel drive version of the Tesla Model Y used to be able to do 331 miles on a full charge. Speaker A: Whereas this new one, light for like can do 353 miles. Speaker A: That's an improvement of 22 miles from. Speaker F: Power folding seats to a new front camera with a built in washer and even that handy 8 inch rear screen. Speaker F: New Model Y is packed with feature designed to make everyday life easier. Speaker F: Plus who can resist those little touches and luxury like the soft carpeting throughout and the covered cup holders.
8:03 Speaker B: For a start, the Model Y is more expensive and even though it costs more money, it's not as sharp to drive. Speaker B: It doesn't ride as well as the Model 3. Speaker B: But the Model Y is bigger and Obviously it's an SUV, whereas the Model 3 is a saloon. Speaker B: And so because this is bigger and therefore more practical as an suv, that is the justification for this being more expensive than the Model 3.
8:28 Speaker E: If you're interested in speed and performance like that's a big reason to buy, then you're probably holding out for the new Model Y performance. Speaker H: Last year, for the first time in a decade, Tesla's sales figures went down. Speaker H: The competition is getting stiffer. Speaker H: The superchargers are for everyone now and the CEO. Speaker H: Hang on, let me just check my pre approved HR line on this seems increasingly distracted, but the Model Y specifically, last year it was the world's most popular car.
8:55 Speaker H: The world's most popular car. Speaker F: The Model 3 might still have the edge in driving dynamics for some, and they're definitely competitors with compelling offerings. Speaker F: But the Model Y's practicality and popularity are hard to ignore. Speaker E: We're looking at around the same price, mid-40s for the base and high-40s for the long range. Speaker E: And this excludes the $7,500 EV tax credit for doing the launch series here in the States, and I believe they're doing it in Canada and Europe as well.
9:23 Speaker E: The only trim available is the long range all wheel drive. Speaker E: It's $60,000 with the launch series you're paying an extra $12,000 for this, but you're getting $17,000 worth of upgrades, so definitely could be worth it. Speaker H: That price hike is going to be interesting to see how people respond to that, how that affects the success of this hugely successful car. Speaker F: So there you have it. Speaker F: The new Tesla Model Y Juniper. Speaker F: It's a definite step up in design, comfort and overall refinement.
9:50 Speaker F: While not a revolution, the thoughtful improvements and added features make a real difference. Speaker F: It's faster, more efficient, and packed with tech. Speaker F: The competition is fierce, but with its strong brand appeal, extensive supercharger network, and now even more compelling feature, the Tesla Model Y looks set to remain a top choice for EV buyers. Speaker F: Ultimately, whether it's the right car for you depends on your individual needs and priorities. Speaker F: But for one thing, that's for sure, Tesla has raised the bar yet again.
