Tesla has officially begun production of the highly anticipated Model Y refresh, codenamed Juniper, at its Shanghai Gigafactory in January 2025. The updated Model Y brings significant improvements, including changes to the interior and exterior design, enhanced battery capacity, better motor performance, and upgrades to the self-driving package.
In addition, Giga Shanghai is set to begin deliveries of a new six-seat version of the Model Y later this year, between October and December 2025. With a production capacity of 1 million vehicles annually, Giga Shanghai remains Tesla’s largest manufacturing hub, crucial to the production of both the Model 3 and Model Y since its opening in 2019.
This latest refresh of Tesla’s best-selling vehicle signals continued innovation and growth for the electric vehicle giant.
