Tesla has officially launched a new, refreshed design of the Model Y with new features, a better interior, and even a new color in China.
After months of anticipation and plenty of speculation over the past eight months, Tesla has officially launched a new Model Y crossover that packs two configurations with a Rear-Wheel Drive and Long Range All-Wheel-Drive being offered currently. The Rear-Wheel Drive build starts at just under $36,000, bringing affordability to the world’s best-selling vehicle.

After the first images of the Model Y “Juniper” were leaked this morning, Tesla revealed the new design of the all-electric crossover late Thursday in the United States. Early Friday in China saw the release of the new Model Y.
The vehicle features a completely redesigned front end that features more corners and a more modern look that is similar to that of the Cybercab, Tesla’s autonomous vehicle design.

The car is also equipped with several new features like a front end camera for the first time ever, new wheels, and a refined suspension.
Tesla said on its website the new Model Y “has been redesigned to maximize efficiency, using every kilowatt-hour more effectively, and updated suspension, wheels and tires make for a smoother, quieter ride.”
Perhaps one of the most interesting additions is that of a front-facing bumper camera:
The automaker also flexed an “updated wheel and tire package,” stating that it provides better handling and grip.
There is also a new “Launch Edition,” that comes with limited edition badging and interior materials for a unique look:
