Tesla releases refreshed Model Y in Europe and North America
Tesla rolled out the redesigned version of its popular Model Y electric SUV in North America and Europe. The updated model has a sleeker design, upgraded interior, and a longer range. While that's great news on its own, the interesting bit is that the original Model Y isn't going anywhere just yet. For now, both versions are available on Tesla's website.
The refreshed Model Y is offered exclusively in a long-range all-wheel drive "Launch Series" variant. This limited-edition release starts at €54,060 (before any savings and incentives) in the US and features unique badging on the liftgate, puddle lights, door sill plates, and some other subtle touches. The overall silhouette remains familiar, but the new Model Y sports a more refined, more contemporary aesthetic.
In Europe, the Launch Series Model Y starts from €60,990, making it quite a bit more expensive than in the US. As usual with the European market, the actual price varies a lot between different countries. In Canada, the same version is priced at an equivalent of €55,132.
The interior of the new Model Y comes with ambient lighting that wraps around the cabin. Ventilated seats add comfort for both driver and passengers. As usual, the 15.4-inch touchscreen provides access to navigation, entertainment, and vehicle controls. The second-row seats have power recline option and can fold flat for increased cargo space. Additionally, an 8-inch rear screen display with Bluetooth and a touch panel provides entertainment options for those in the back.

Autogefühl first look at the updated Model Y

Here’s your first in-depth look at the updated Tesla Model Y
The world’s best-selling car has been refreshed. Time for a poke around
Precisely two weeks after it surfaced on t’internet, we’ve now had our first chance to poke around the refreshed Tesla Model Y ahead of its arrival in Europe in March. Fancy a game of Spot the Difference?
And by ‘refreshed’ we mean exactly that: this ‘new Model Y’ is in fact a mid-life facelift, and so all the Big Stuff – yup, motors and batteries – has been left well alone.
After 3.5 million sales in five years the name of the game for the best-selling car in the world is… efficiency. Not terribly exciting, but a raft of changes to the exterior have unlocked more range and more speed. We’ll get to the numbers shortly.
First, you’ll notice the headlights have been ditched in favour of a full-width, three-piece lightbar akin to the Cybertruck and Cybercab, sitting atop a new (and lower) nose complete with aero ducts for greater effi… yeah, that.

Tesla Model Y facelift scores 70,000 orders in five days
Tesla finally made the facelifted Model Y official earlier this month, starting in China and then in Europe and North America. The new car has been quite a success in China, with 50,000 orders allegedly placed during the first day.
And at the end of the first five days, it scored a total of 70,000 orders, which is more than some EV models get in an entire year.
The new Model Y should help Tesla's sales number in the Chinese market this year, given how popular it already seems to be. The introduction of this model in China first is itself a first for the brand.
It's available in China in two versions, a RWD starting at CNY 263,500 (€32,700) and a long-range AWDstarting at CNY 303,500 (€37,800). In other markets only the latter has been launched so far.

Tesla's sales plummet in Europe, the Model Y transition and political controversy likely to blame
Tesla's European sales are taking a serious hit. January 2025 registration numbers are way down, which is a red flag for the company's performance in Europe. This is happening even though the overall European electric vehicle market is growing, so Tesla's problems are not part of a wider issue. A few things might be contributing to this: the changeover to the new Model Y, more competition, and all the controversy around Elon Musk's politics.
The numbers tell an interesting story. In Germany, which is Tesla's biggest market in Europe, registrations plummeted by almost 60% in January. They only sold 1,277 cars compared to 3,150 last January. This is especially worrying because the overall German car market only dropped 2.8%, and electric vehicle sales actually went up by 53.5%. It's a similar picture in other European countries, too. France saw a 63.4% drop, the UK was 18.2% down, and the Netherlands also had a 42.5% decline. Across Europe, Tesla's January sales were down by 50.4% compared to last year.
Tesla will probably say the Model Y transition is partly to blame. Changing production lines and getting the new model out there can affect sales. But while the Model Y is important, this explanation doesn't really cover the scale of the drop, especially since the Model 3 refresh last year had less of an impact. Something else is definitely going on.
One possibility is the growing backlash against Elon Musk. His involvement in European politics, his support for right-wing policies and parties, and his criticisms of political leaders might be turning off potential buyers. It's hard to say exactly how much his public image is affecting things, but the sales drop seems to coincide with his increased political activity. In Europe, people are pretty aware of social and political issues, and they might be avoiding brands associated with views they disagree with.

Nothing new there. My Y has adaptive matrix beams - brights on all the time and gaps in the coverage around traffic ahead.
