The Juniper refresh addresses several of the areas where the previous Model Y was beginning to show its age, particularly interior refinement, comfort and overall design.
But the bigger question is whether those improvements are significant enough to justify choosing the refreshed model over a discounted previous-generation Model Y - especially on the used market.
What do you think of the Juniper so far? Is it a meaningful upgrade, or would you still choose the previous Model Y at the right price?
