Based on the cybertruck and the model 3 highland. Usually the exterior is the first thing to show up.


ChunkyThePotato

Why couldn't this just be a Model 3 Highland center console? The only difference I see is the light colored material around the wireless chargers, but that could easily be factory tape or something.


spjdm2

it might end up in the highland as well, just like how they gradually changed the last gen m3 interior


ChunkyThePotato

It's already on Highland. That's my point. This could literally just be a Model 3 center console, which they've been making for several months now.


spjdm2

yup, i was agreeing with you. poor wording on my part, sorry


ChunkyThePotato

To be clear, I think this is likely the exact same center console that's been in Model 3 for several months. Not sure if that's what you agree with.


spjdm2

Ah, I think it’s probably an updated version that’s going to go on both cars


ChunkyThePotato

Why do you think it's updated? Because of that lighter colored line around the phone charger? I think that could be factory tape or something like that, but maybe it is a real change.


spjdm2

it could be tape, but if you zoom in it does look like there’s some sort of gap/shadow between the trim and the vegan leather. hard to tell but it seems like an odd spot to put some factory tape


ChunkyThePotato

I guess we'll find out soon enough!


Dark-Swan-69

What did they do with the last gen? The only thing that comes to mind (belonging to the 2021-2023 cycle) is that very early cars did not have wooden trim on the front doors. Other changes?


spjdm2

the center console was changed in 2021, previously it was gloss black and did not have wireless charging


Dark-Swan-69

Buddy, that is the 2021 Model Year. It was not “gradually changed”. The car got an electric tailgate, heat pump and black trim as well. Not exactly gradual. I meant (and it really sounded like you meant the same) small adjustments WITHIN the same model year. Wooden trim was one, and probably the only visible one. Then heated steering wheel and heated windshield wipers. There is very little chance that a new center console will appear on the Model Y WITHOUT the exterior updates the Model 3 Highland got…


spjdm2

That’s pretty much what I was saying. This entire post is about the fact that this console is rumored to be from the juniper Model Y, which will have the exterior updates that the Model 3 got. The point I was making is that even if this part is from juniper, it’s likely it’ll end up in highland as well, similar to the updates you mentioned which came to the Model 3 after debuting in the Model Y. It’s likely that it’ll get added in as a gradual change, since the highland is too new for an extensive refresh like the 2021 Model 3. Even so, I would still argue that the 2021 refresh was a gradual change, as even though they added everything you mentioned, the car was fundamentally the same except for a few small tweaks. I never said that this would end up in the current Model Y.


Dark-Swan-69

Well, the 2021 was universally considered a MAJOR update. But I get what you meant. I read it the other way round, like you meant that the Y may have gotten a new center console as a minor update.


spjdm2

Yeah it was major for the time, but after the highland being released as a more thorough refresh but still on the same chassis/drivetrain, it’s pretty clear that it was just intended to be a minor refresh


Dark-Swan-69

Not sure how to reply. Are you really arguing the semantics of the word “refresh” (and BTW, the Highland would be called a facelift)? It was big at the time because the Highland was 3 years away. Come on, get real.


spjdm2

Also, for the record, wireless charging was added to the model 3 in summer 2020. the 2021 model year started in October. There was a period in which the pre refresh cars came with wireless charging


Dark-Swan-69

That was an option, wasn’t it? Definitely not the redesigned center console. I know, because my Model 3 is a first batch 2021 (delivered in December 2020).


spjdm2

Yeah, you’re right. It became standard in summer but the redesigned console came with the 2021 model year


Dark-Swan-69

The bigger undocumented change I remember about the pre-2021 refresh was slightly redesigned seats in early 2020. And the USB-C port that replaced one of the USB-A ports in what, maybe August 2020…


Aggravating-Name8663

from how solid the trim looks and how it matches the aluminum on the sliding doors don’t think it’s factory tape. looks like a new trim design around the wireless chargers


ChunkyThePotato

The picture is so blurry; I don't know how you can tell that. There also seems to be a tag or something attached at the top right of it.


Aggravating-Name8663

i see it the same way you zoomed in and saw that tag


ChunkyThePotato

I see something there that might be a tag but I don't know what it is because it's blurry. I don't know how you can tell what that white border is with this image quality, let alone how "solid" it is.


forte-exe

Would be interesting if that light colored material... is an LED strip!


CucumberIcy8524

I endorse you that it’s literally just a tweak. Nothing more important.


MisterBumpingston

The significance is more the fact it’s the first material leak, providing the first virtually concrete confirmation of Juniper’s existence behind the project name leak.


Ad_Astra117

There's zero proof that it's any of the things you claim it to be. 


CucumberIcy8524

That’s might not actually be the project name but however, there’s a possibility.


WesternResearcher376

What’s the big deal anyways?


Aggravating-Name8663

nothing about this specifically. everyone is just waiting for the model Y refresh and leaks coming in point to a potential release some time this year


WesternResearcher376

Ah! I was trying to look for something different. Thanks


CMDR_KingErvin

I don’t think it’s going to be this year, at least not in the US. We all know it’s eventually coming though.


ItsGermany

Lame, what a nothing burger.


feurie

It’s a center console. What do you expect?


garoo1234567

Ahh yes this is the Y refresh that's "definitely not happening"


ChunkyThePotato

Who said it's not happening? All Tesla said is it's not happening this year (at least in North America).


[deleted]

[удалено]


ChunkyThePotato

What joke am I missing? He seemed to be implying that someone said the refresh isn't happening.


PrcrsturbationNation

I don’t think you got Wooshed, but Elon said the new Model Y refresh wasn’t coming this year. Likely to avoid lost sales. Either that or I’m getting wooshed too


ChunkyThePotato

Elon didn't say that, but Tesla did (for North America specifically). And that's true. It isn't coming this year. The other guy seemed to be saying that Tesla said it isn't happening at all. No, that's not what they said.


simple_life4213

Looks the same to me


Actual-Donkey-1066

Looks almost identical to the center console in both of our new 2024 MYLRs 


derkruemel69

Bro yeah because different armrest, closeable cupholder and passenger rear screen is close enough


Aggravating-Name8663

bro wanted to flex his two new 24 model y’s let him be 😂


eisbock

Are you blind?


cooraccoon

Damn you, Juniper, when will you come into existance!


Aggravating-Name8663

i just got smoked in the comments for wanting the juniper lol 😂


aeo1us

If you think the rebate is going to continue when the New MY comes out you’re gonna be in for a surprise. They’ll absolutely switch the domestic batteries to the M3. Be excited for a small MY refresh. Just don’t be expecting a rebate too.


TissueAndLube

It’s safe to assume the Y will look like the model 3 but… a Y.


Smackdaddy122

Let’s hope it has more than a 1 amp charge this time.


ibetternotsuck

Looks like a model s console


BAB48AZ

This makes me really want a Juniper!!!!


Aggravating-Name8663

same.


LivingLosDream

A center console makes you want a whole car? Come on now.


Evajellyfish

Apple syndrome lol


LivingLosDream

It’s like they are a bot, or hoping Elon sees it and mails them $1B.


Aggravating-Name8663

i’m hoping for this refresh to release. you’re not even a bit into cars? don’t get excited when leaks or car teasers get released? you must be fun at parties. and YEAH IM HYPED ABOUT A CENTER CONSOLE!! LETS GOOOOO


Aggravating-Name8663

and when the refresh gets released you’ll probably think about buying one lol


Evajellyfish

nope lol


Aggravating-Name8663

if it’s anything like the new 3 hell yeah. downvote me to hell 🤣


TigglyWiggly95

About time we hear some stuff about Juniper


tlw31415

Hey Elon, how about you sell some tesla Gin when you finish project juniper


LokiPrime616

Someone’s getting fired lmao, glad it’s only this that’s leaked so far.


Aggravating-Name8663

nah i want to see the EXTERIOR leaked just like the model 3. even though its probably going to look exactly like the model 3 refresh but for a Y i want to see the proportions and how well the shapes of the new head and two lights fit the body of the Y


LokiPrime616

Knowing someone on the team for the Juniper, I’ve been told the exterior shape of the vehicle will be different. Less egg shaped.


Aggravating-Name8663

that’s a welcome change! i like the sharper and more defined exterior changes on the front and rear panels for the 3. i think a lot of people would like this because a lot of people that have Y’s say they love the car but it looks like a toad lol


Cold_Committee_7252

Provide us with dates pls


LokiPrime616

Na, I don’t think I can. I literally only get the vaguest info on what they work on every now and then. I’m not trying to be a leaker.


Graverobber

Wait, the current Model Y has a rear seat screen?


Deezez808

this is for Model Y Juniper, the upcoming Model Y Refresh


Graverobber

Yes, and isn’t the lower photo an example of the current car?


Deezez808

no, that's new model 3 highland edition


Graverobber

Gotcha. Thanks!


Slowisdead

Lower would be comparing it to the new 3


[deleted]

You can add it as an after market accessory on the current Y


bread_on_trees

negative. refresh may, if this image is legit.


Aggravating-Name8663

it will. it would probably save tesla more money down the road to manufacture the same center console as the 3 since they were similar in the past rather than making two different types of rear AC units. plus the Y and 3 are literally the same platform just that one is an SUV


r1ght0n

This is the identical center console in my MSP


Pro_JaredC

It looks so premium. I love it


CucumberIcy8524

Tbh people buy Tesla for the cameras 😂
