Revamped (and More Expensive) Tesla Model Y Set to Arrive in March

From PC Mag: A revamped Tesla Model Y is set to land in the US in March. It's available to order now, though it won’t come cheap.

Retail prices are set to start at $60,000 before incentives, taxes, and delivery fees in the US. That's about $12,000 more than the previous Model Y, according to Tesla's online model comparison tool, but the revamped Model Y boasts an extra 19 miles of range per charge, despite keeping the same 75kWh battery and motor.

The new vehicle—which was codenamed "Juniper" during production—also brings redesigned front and rear lights, as well as an updated sound system with additional speakers and a retuned suspension system. Buyers will also get an 8-inch, second-row touch screen in the back seat, allowing passengers to control the car's media and temperature, something we've already seen in the latest Model 3 and Model X vehicles.

In terms of its exterior, the new Model Y's hood is now much lower, and it sports a redesigned angular front end, which looks broadly reminiscent of the Cybertruck.
