Stock of the model ran out after Tesla announced a delivery operation at the end of the year. Meanwhile, the EV world as a whole is interested in Juniper’s soda.
As part of an end-of-year push to sell cars, Tesla had given deep discounts on certain Model Y cars in stock. But this stock was temporarily depleted with the discounts.
As of January 5, Model Y in inventory is down to just a few vehicles in the greater Los Angeles area. And little more than a handful of vehicles in other markets. (Update: A Tesla sales representative told me on Tuesday that there was still limited inventory and Tesla sold out most of the inventory at the end of the year.) This is happening as increasingly frequent reports purport to show Model Y Juniper spy photos. Motor Trend even posted a “first look” at the Model Y refresh this week in anticipation of the release.
Tesla wishes to continue promoting a ton of YS models, its best promoted vehicle, in 2025 to some other decrease in annual sales. Tesla registered its first annual sales decrease in 2024 in more than a decade, providing 1. 79 million cars in 2024, a slight decrease in 1. 81 million delivered in 2023. But the corporate also delivered 471,930 cars model 3/and in the Fourth quarter of 2024, compared to 439,975 Model 3/and in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to 439,975 Model 3/and in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to 439,975 Model 3/and in the fourth quarter of 2024, Compared to 439,975 in the last quarter, a quarter of 7. 3% growth. This indicates that the incentives would possibly have raised sales through the end of the year.
With the year-end sales push over, the Model Y Juniper refresh looms large. Motor Trend’s First Look repeats the familiar theme that Juniper is expected to mirror changes made to the Model 3 more than a year ago. “The 3’s changes were revolutionary, quieting the once-loud interior, which also saw major gains in material quality and features, and easing up the overly firm suspension without impacting the car’s fun-to-drive nature,” Motor Trend said.
Expected changes include tweaks in the body style (front hood, front facia, headlights, taillights), improved aerodynamics, quieter ride, updated interior, and possibly new battery technology.
Commenting on the spy photos, the motor trend states that “where the 3 looked at a slimmer and more modern soft and rear side, the juniper style and seeks to adopt a front front design and split fog knights” and “at the rear is what can only be a slim and full rear like that of Tesla’s next Robotaxi.
Juniper will likely be priced at the same or slightly lower price than the current Y, now starting at about $37,500 with the federal tax credit. In order to keep prices down for the Model Y and all of its vehicles, Tesla is on a crusade to reduce costs. “There are numerous work streams within the company to squeeze out cost without compromising on customer experience,” said Vaibhav Taneja, Tesla Chief Financial Officer, in October, adding that Tesla achieved its lowest cost per vehicle in Q3. That said, all bets are off if the federal tax credit is terminated by the Trump administration later this year.
The Model Y dwarfs all electric vehicle competition in the United States, surpassing its closest non-Tesla competitor by more than 73,000 cars in the third quarter. But Tom Libthrough, an analyst at S&P Global Mobility, believes that an overly sophisticated upgrade to the Model Y may “require more sales incentives. ” In the same vein, Tesla sold off much of its year-end stock at deep discounts beyond the $7,500 federal tax incentive.
Although Musk touted the new Tesla Q2 and “affordable” Q2 earnings convention calls, no details were given. However, recent reports point to a new mass-market Tesla, codenamed Redwood, dubbed Model Q via Deutsche Bank, due in mid-2025. The Q would have sold for $30,000, but that includes the tax credit federal $7,500. Separately, recent comments from autoforecast solutions also issue a more affordable “Bathrough Model Y” compact SUV arriving later this year that would compete with the new Chevy Bolt, expected in 2025.
Tesla is screaming from the rooftops about fully autonomous driving, or FSD, and how it will dominate product launches in the future. Will diversity only sell more Tesla cars in 2025?It’s probably not an exaggeration to say that many car buyers don’t have diversity or have doubts about their safety.
“Autonomy is still in the future,” said Autoforecast Solutions in its consistent with the month newsletter published last week. While Tesla promises millions of consistent self-driving cars each year, “unfortunately for the electric car maker, regulatory adjustments will be mandatory to achieve this goal,” the bulletin said. “Tesla, Amazon’s Zoo and Google’s Waymo Target FULLY AUTONOMOUS CARS [but] The generation is not in a position for wonderful hours of listening. “
