Tesla has made more updates to the Model Y for 2026, adding a new Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive option and making the line-up easier to understand with Standard and Premium versions.

The facelifted Model Y (often called “Juniper”) also brings a refreshed look, tweaks to improve ride comfort, and a quieter cabin with extra sound insulation. Inside, it keeps Tesla’s minimalist layout, with a rear screen for back-seat passengers on many versions, plus a proper indicator stalk.
