More photos and a video of the new Model Y have been circulating on social media in China as Tesla begins delivering the first cars to dealerships across the country.

Several sources claim that Tesla has already built the first new Model Y at its Gigafactory in Berlin, Germany. According to German media outlet Handelsblatt, the company was scheduled to start producing the new car, also known by its codename "Juniper", on Tuesday.

The updated, 2025 Tesla Model Y, also known internally at Tesla by its Juniper codename, is just around the corner. We've caught camouflaged prototypes of this vehicle being tested in the wild before, but this is the first time we've actually seen one uncovered as it's undergoing cold-weather testing.

The company's Gigafactory in Brandenburg (near the country's capital in Berlin) started building the facelifted electric crossover today.

Tesla has introduced an updated version of its Model Y crossover, codenamed "Juniper," in the Chinese market. This marks the first significant refresh of the vehicle since its initial launch in 2019.

European examples of the updated Model Y Juniper will begin rolling off the production line at Giga Berlin as soon as tomorrow.
