Key Changes
From the spy photos, it can be seen that the position of the license plate has been charged. It is now relocated to the vehicle’s bumper from the trunk lid. This modification could enhance the vehicle’s design and functionality.
Another major change will be in the design of the vehicle. The exterior design features updated front and rear bumpers. Tesla might also add new headlights and rear lights. The vehicle will also improve aerodynamics which will enhance the performance of the vehicle by reducing drag coefficient. The design upgrade won’t be limited to the exterior, but the interior of the Tesla Model Y Juniper is also expected to get some major overhaul.

The Juniper will be introducing more premium materials and a new revamped interior layout. Tesla vehicles are known for their minimalistic interiors and with this new model, the company is trying to improve comfort and quality while still maintaining that minimalist feel.
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.
There is speculation that this model is being produced at Tesla’s Gigafactory in Berlin. If so, then this indicates that the company is preparing for full-fledged mass production to meet the demand across Europe. Tesla has been actively increasing its production capacity in Europe, aligning with its strategic goals to expand its market presence across more European countries. So, Tesla’s Gigafactory Berlin has a very crucial role to play in this strategic goal.
Conclusion
The testing of the Juniper model in Spain indicates that Tesla is very serious about its commitment to solidifying its presence in the European electric vehicle market. By producing the vehicle locally at Tesla Gigafactory Berlin, it can reduce the cost of imports and pass it on to the consumers, and it will also help the company to reduce the delivery time.
While Tesla has yet to announce anything officially, at least European fans now will be happy that soon Model Y Juniper will be running on their roads.
