Tesla has officially launched its highly anticipated new Model Y in Canada and the United States, following its recent debut in China. This updated electric SUV boasts a completely redesigned exterior, enhanced interior, and improved performance for a more refined driving experience.
Despite the introduction of the new Model Y, the existing version is still available for purchase as Tesla continues to ramp up production to meet demand.
The exterior of the new Model Y has been optimized for maximum efficiency, featuring improved aerodynamics for better range, performance, and longevity. The SUV also sports updated wheels, tires, and brakes, along with a retuned suspension for a smoother and quieter ride. A groundbreaking indirect reflective taillight, the first of its kind, adds a touch of innovation to the vehicle’s design.
Inside the cabin, the Model Y offers a luxurious and high-tech experience. Acoustic glass and invisible speakers create a whisper-quiet, immersive soundscape, while heated and ventilated seats with soft-touch textiles enhance comfort. Rear passengers can enjoy an 8-inch touchscreen for added convenience and entertainment. Enhanced connectivity features improve range for Tesla’s Phone Key and provide faster WiFi and cellular speeds.
With power-folding second-row seats, the Model Y offers up to 76 cubic feet of storage space, making it perfect for transporting gear and groceries. The hands-free trunk automatically unlocks as you approach the vehicle, adding convenience to the overall driving experience.
Tesla’s hallmark over-the-air updates ensure that the Model Y remains cutting-edge, with a 15.4-inch touchscreen, access to Tesla’s extensive network of Superchargers, and entertainment options for all passengers.
While the new Glacier Blue color debuted in China, it is not available at the initial launch. However, customers can choose from other color options such as Stealth Grey, Pearl White Multi-Coat, Ultra Red, and Quicksilver.
The redesigned Model Y is now available for purchase, offering a blend of safety, comfort, and efficiency. For more information, visit tesla.com or watch the launch video here.
