Since the last batch of refreshed Model Y Project Juniper images surfaced on the web, creators have been hard at work making concept vehicles.
Let’s take a look at them at some of the most interesting designs.
Dominic’s Juniper Render
The hero image, from @DominicBRNKMN on X, provides a wider look at what the rear end of the Model Y Juniper may look like, including that new lightbar and some design hints from the refreshed Model 3 Highland.
Mike’s Render
@TeslaTruckClub on X posted a front shot of the Model Y, which is clearly inspired by the refreshed Model 3. We haven’t seen any images of the front of the vehicle yet, but this one is pretty straightforward. But take a closer look – there’s a twist. The headlights continue from one end of the vehicle to the other, incorporating a front lightbar. A clever idea.
Sugar Design’s Render
Our third render is from sugardesign_1 on Instagram, who previously made some absolutely fantastic renders of the Cybercab/Robotaxi. This one is an oblique rear shot, once again incorporating the rear lightbar and the refreshed Model 3’s taillights. It's nothing fancy off to the side, but it looks clean and sharp, and likely what we should expect in the refreshed Model Y.
Smoke-away’s Video Render
Back in 2023, SmokeAwayyy on X made a video render of the expected Model Y – it doesn’t include the lightbar, but is pretty much all the Model 3 design choices lifted and placed onto the Y, in a neat video package.

What are your opinions on these renders? Do you think Tesla will take a different approach to the Model Y, setting it apart from the new Model 3? Or will they play it more conservatively, and go for what we’ve already seen in the 2024 Model 3 with some additions like the lightbar we see here? Join the discuss in our forums.
