After a pretty disappointing Quarter 1 report and a few more not-so-inspiring headlines surfacing on the internet, Tesla fans were hoping for the launch of an affordable Model Y Juniper as compensation. However, fans had to face a delay of a whole week for the launch. With the latest Tesla launch, that wait finally seems like coming to an end. The affordable Tesla Model Y Juniper is already here. If you are someone who wants to know more about the launch of Tesla’s new model, this article is for you. It brings you everything you need to know about the newly launched Tesla Model Y Juniper Affordable Trim.
Tesla Model Y Juniper Affordable Trim: Pricing and Leasing
The new Juniper Model Y Long Range AWD is available for customers in the US markets at $48,990 or $11,000 less than the Launch Edition. This is because the launch edition had almost all the options available thrown at it. It even had a Full Self-Driving Beta (sic) package and the acceleration boost worth $8,000. If you are someone planning to lease the vehicle, the numbers might not excite you as much. It is available for leasing at $671 per month (before taxes), zero down, over 36 months with a 10,000-mile annual limit. The lease rates usually soften in a few months, but even the US-built Model Ys rely on foreign components. This means the US auto tariffs will have an impact on it as well.
Tesla Model Y Juniper Affordable Trim: Add-Ons
If we look at the add-ons that are available with the Tesla Model Y Juniper, there are a total of 6 paint options. The Stealth Grey color does not require you to pay anything extra. Pearl White and Deep Blue paints will require you to pay $1,000 extra. Diamond Black is available at $1,500. Ultra Red and Quicksilver are the two most expensive available at $2,000. The default interior of Model Y Juniper is black leather. However, you can also add white leather that will cost you an extra thousand dollars. The tow hitch also costs $1,000, while the 20-inch “Helix” wheels will cost you another $2,000. These wheels will notably knock the range down to 303 miles. This means you will actually pay extra for less.
Tesla Model Y Juniper Affordable Trim: Value For Money
Good news for the customers is that they will only have to pay $1,000 more than the previous Long Range AWD model. It even comes with several improvements, including revised chassis and suspension components. The new version also has a rear passenger display, ventilated seats, improved sound insulation, ambient interior lighting, and even motorized rear seatbacks. Model Y Juniper comes with a spacious compact crossover with a 327-mile range, a 0–60 MPH time of 4.6 seconds, and a 125 MPH top speed as well. If you are someone who also qualifies for the $7,500 federal tax credit, you will see the price drop to $41,490. The additional state-level incentives will lower the prices even more, making it a value-for-money option.
