Following in the footsteps of the Model 3 sedan, the Tesla Model Y receives a mid-cycle update for 2026, codenamed Juniper. Tesla has redesigned the body, improved build quality, recalibrated the suspension for enhanced comfort and increased sound insulation. The Performance model achieves 0-100 km/h acceleration in just 3.5 seconds, but it reduces maximum range from 526 to 492 km. Sports seats with integrated headrests, larger side bolsters and a ventilation function are included.
