A prototype of an electric car with an updated appearance was spotted during winter tests: spies photographed Model Y driving through a snowy range, and the pictures were published by the portal cnevpost.com. The prototype looks unusual due to the different design of the front end with an LED strip under the edge of the hood and a solid light at the rear, which gives the Model Y a resemblance to Chinese crossovers. And it is in China that new items are being tested.
The body of the updated Model Y looks a little more angular than that of the current electric car, well, the appearance of solid LED lines at the front and rear can be explained not only by trends coming from China, but also by Tesla’s attempt to make the crossover a little similar to the Cybertruck pickup truck.

One way or another, the new product will be completely declassified very soon, and production at the Shanghai Gigafactory should start before the end of January. The five-seater Model Y will be the first to hit the production line, followed by the three-row crossover.

It was previously reported that the restyling of the Model Y will follow the same scenario as the Model 3: the electric car will be given more power and the exterior and interior will be refreshed, adding new advanced assistants to the list of equipment. The rear optics can be designed in the Cybertruck style. The capacity of one of the traction batteries, according to unofficial data, will be 95 kilowatt-hours.
The Model Y crossover remains Tesla’s bestseller in the Chinese market. From January to November, the Chinese bought almost 420 thousand electric cars, which is 73 percent of all Tesla sales in China and 5.6 percent higher than the same period last year. For comparison: the result of Model 3 is 156 thousand units.
