Several Tesla prototype vehicles were recently photographed at the company’s Fremont factory for what speculative enthusiasts and industry analysts were eager for. These vehicles, heavily covered with tarpaulin to hide the designs, continue to spur many debates, ruminations, or discussions on everything from upcoming models to all-out new products.
The California-based Fremont factory is one of Tesla’s biggest havens, and it has originated its creativity and assembly line. A drone flyover captured eight covered vehicles near the factory’s test track on November 24, 2024. Since vehicles are being covered on site the firm is trying to hide its future buildings—literally and figuratively.
Covered Tesla Vehicles Seen at Fremont Factory
It is not the first time Tesla has been associated with testing new models or even prototypes in this area even though these covered cars indicate that there are perhaps interesting projects in the pipeline.
Those who captured the vehicles claimed that their forms are different, to some extent, from what Tesla has in its current stable. Others suggest that these could be updated versions of current Tesla models known as Model 3 or refreshed Model S or X or particularly the most anticipated Model Y Juniper. The shorter vehicle in the footage could be the upcoming Tesla’s Roadster which has been in development for seven years.
Details about 2025 Model Y Juniper
Tesla Model Y Juniper is said to bring a lot of exciting new technological features, performance enhancements, and design changes, positioning it as a new game changer in the EV industry.
Design Changes
The first major change in the Tesla Model Y Juniper will be its design. Although Tesla has kept the design a secret, the sighted prototype has given the first glimpse of what to expect from a design perspective. Tesla is also said to upgrade the interior design with a brand-new steering wheel design. The ambient lighting will also be enhanced for a more eye-pleasing look to the design. Model Y Juniper may also have an extra rear passenger screen for entertainment purposes.
Technological Upgrades
Tesla is known for its cutting-edge technologies in the electric vehicle industry, and the Model Y Juniper is likely to build upon this reputation. One of the key upgrades will be an upgraded infotainment system. Model Y Juniper will feature an enhanced version of 15-inch center display which has been a key element of Tesla interiors. The new ultra-large screen will have a better resolution for entertainment purposes, faster responsiveness, and more intuitive controls throughout the UI.
In addition to upgrades in entertainment and navigation, Tesla will also upgrade the Full Self-Driving (FSD) of the Model Y Juniper.
Performance Upgrades
Tesla Model Y Juniper is expected to bring key performance improvements over the previous generation Model Y vehicles. Let’s take a look at some key improvements:
The Model Y Juniper may have a more powerful electric motor with a maximum output of 220kW. This will help the vehicle to gain 0-100km/h acceleration within a few seconds.
The battery technology will also get a boost with the introduction of a rumored 60 kWh lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery pack which enhances thermal stability and safety. The new battery pack system is said to promise an impressive range of approximately 335 miles, thanks to better battery chemistry and aerodynamics refinements.
Conclusion
As the world waits to learn more about these mysterious vehicles, one thing is clear: Today Tesla is still striving to progress and establish itself as the leading company that produces eco-friendly cars. Whether these covered vehicles are new models, new concepts or new technologies, the capability for the company to grab public attention is unparalleled.
For now, Tesla enthusiasts and industry watchers will have to rely on speculation and anticipation. As the company gears up for its Tesla’s Investor Day and upcoming product release, it won’t be long before someone lifts the veil. Until then, all of the covered vehicles at Fremont are a tease of what can be expected from Tesla in the future.
