Another sighting of a Tesla Model Y “Juniper” prototype has been reported, this time in San Jose, California. The camouflaged vehicle was captured in a short video showing its front and rear ends covered, painted black, and equipped with Gemini Dark Wheels.
Tesla and CEO Elon Musk have been secretive about a potential Model Y update, likely due to its status as the company’s top-selling vehicle. However, sightings of camouflaged Model Y prototypes have been seen in multiple countries recently. Leaked images from China suggest a Model Y with a rear trunk featuring a red light bar, and reports indicate that updated five-seat and seven-seat versions may be released in 2025.
The Model Y is not only Tesla’s strongest seller but was also the best-selling vehicle globally last year by volume. Despite its older design, the Model Y continues to outsell the Model 3 in China. An updated version of the Model Y could lead to even higher sales numbers, with substantial potential for success in the market.
