Expect Tesla to launch a product barrage in 2025 focused on affordability.
Details of the Model Y Juniper refresh are pretty straightforward since it will mirror the Tesla Model 3 refresh late last year. In fact, just go to the Model 3 landing page to get a preview of key design tweaks, including changes in the body style (front hood, front facia, headlights, taillights), improved aerodynamics, quieter ride, updated interior, and possibly new battery technology
While not a certainty, a rear-wheel-drive version of the Cybertruck could arrive in 2025. As recently as a few months ago, Tesla was selling a $60,990 RWD model (it was taken down in August). That’s almost $19,000 less than the least expensive AWD Cybertruck ($79,990) currently on the Cybertruck page. “Making more affordable versions [of the Cybertruck] available could help sustain momentum,” Stephanie Brinley, an analyst at S&P Global Mobility, told me in an email earlier this year. Also expect the arrival of a range extender option for the existing models, which could push the range up to 445 miles.
