Launch Timeline and Model Year Designation
Initial production of the Model Y in China began in mid‑December 2020, with a major Juniper update arriving in late 2024 for the Chinese market. The refreshed Juniper version was released in the United States in March 2025 and is marketed as a 2026 model.
Design Refresh and Performance Variant
The Juniper update introduced the Model Y Performance, featuring a slightly different front bumper and carbon‑fibre décor, along with a modest increase in overall size. Additional refreshed exterior parts, such as new front lip spoilers, have been offered for Juniper‑spec models from 2025 onward.
Parts Compatibility Across Generations
Owners can retrofit Juniper‑specific front struts and rear dampers onto earlier Model Y vehicles, as these components are 1:1 swappable. This compatibility highlights Tesla’s modular approach to updates within the Model Y lineup.
