The Tesla Model Y has been a game-changer in the electric crossover market since its debut, and for 2025, it's getting a long-awaited refresh. With new tech, refined styling, and improved range, the 2025 Model Y is looking to stay ahead of the EV curve. Here's everything we know so far.

📅 Release Date: When Is the 2025 Model Y Coming?

Tesla is expected to launch the refreshed Model Y — internally codenamed “Project Juniper” — in late Q3 or early Q4 of 2025. Production will likely start in Giga Berlin and Giga Shanghai, with North American availability following soon after.

While Tesla hasn’t officially confirmed the exact release date, industry insiders suggest a September to November 2025 window for first deliveries.
