Five years after its market launch, the Tesla Model Y receives an update. In addition to an aerodynamically optimized body, innovations are also being introduced in the interior.

After five years, the Tesla Model Y is receiving an update and an almost completely redesigned body, which is intended to reduce air resistance and ultimately increase the range to up to 600 kilometers (approx. 373 miles). The new light strips are inspired by the Cybertruck or Cybercab. The taillight is projected onto a special panel. The Y builds on the improvements of the updated Model 3 in terms of chassis and comfort.

The Model Y offers, among other things, a new front camera with an extended view. It is equipped with a liquid wash system and integrated heating element to prevent fogging and icing in cold weather. The interior noise insulation has been improved by about 20 percent, and the new glazing reflects sunlight much more strongly, allowing the air conditioning to operate more efficiently.

The front seats have been redesigned to improve comfort and now feature seat ventilation. The second-row seats also offer improved comfort with more easily accessible seat belts, longer seat cushions, and deeper side bolsters. The backrest is electrically adjustable and foldable. The first and second seat rows are heated and work in conjunction with the integrated air conditioning system. Rear passengers have their own eight-inch touchscreen with climate control as well as entertainment options such as gaming, audio, and video streaming.

The new center console now features sliding covers and is trimmed with real aluminum. Further aluminum accents are found on the steering wheel, door panels, and instrument panel. The switches and buttons, as well as the turn signal lever, have been optimized. The audio system has also been revised. The microphones have been improved to achieve higher sound quality during phone calls. Mobile network performance has also been increased. The Tesla Model Y can now be ordered starting at 51,270 euros (53.720,71 USD).
