#4 - China currently manufacture for Asia, Singapore, Thailand, Canada, Australia, New Zealand (maybe the UK as well) and other markets. So quite a chunk of the world will be getting this 'revised' model Y.

Whoops dropped a few bucks on a Chinese made aftermarket accessory.
Unless this updated Model Y has a front bumper camera all of this is just fluff. A front bumper camera working with Park Assist would be a game changer.
These changes don't really move the needle IMO.

This just seems like a way to get rid of manufacturing wood trim altogether in preparation to selling the highland model 3

Hi,
I reside in South Korea and ordered my Model Y Standard range this year early September. As the new upgraded Y's are being produced and released in China and with zero to no inventories in S. Korea at the time of writing, it is likely 2023 orders which have not been filled will be fulfilled by the China built Model Y and likely the upgraded Y starting march of 2024.
I am wondering if anyone can help me with information on the changes, if any, to the brakes, wheels set up and specifications. I understand the upgraded Y will come with a 19" black wheels, but will it have any changes to the brake caliper and disk rotor size and dimensions? (please see attached for 2023 Model Y brake specs).
In addition, I'm close (been negotiating and personalizing) to ordering an aftermarket AG wheels with front: 9.5x21 ET40 and rear 10.5x21 ET48. But again, the fit is of concern if any changes have been made with the upgraded Y.
I would assume this upgrade is more a facelift and not a structural change, to compliment the recent Model 3 upgrade. Nevertheless, I would really appreciate it if anyone can shed some light on this? (any brilliant Tesla engineers out there?) Dealerships in Korea are clueless and one lady even asked me, "what's the Juniper project?"
Thanks!

Nawww. Forget about the US? It’s not like they are also releasing unique colors overseas as well….
…oh wait.
This twitter post of a new October 2023 “facelift” Model Y produced at Giga Shanghai clearly shows ultrasonic sensors on the front bumper.
or, just using up older bumper cover inventory.
wouldn't be the first time for Tesla.
anyone verifying active USS ??

Being that all new orders in Canada come from Giga Shanghai, I would think the next and future arrivals will be the updated Y? Cannot see them making the previous version just for Canada as the assembly line must be configured to make just the updated model I would have to assume.

I just did a day in a 2023 MYLR that has vision, not USS. Distances for parking and backing up and side areas works pretty well.
USS is good in my 2022 MYLR, but the vision system was working pretty well and did similar alerts. It doesn't seem the vision complaints are all that.
YMMV

Agree, it also includes Korea and Japan. I actually prefer to wood trim in the interior and thank you for the additional 60-80hp but, I hope the caliper specifications and the wheel width and offsets haven't changed.
Considering MY RWD has always had the same big Brembo calipers as the Performance I cannot imagine they would make them any bigger for this car as it’s already over specced as it is.
This car must surely be going back to the bigger motor to drop the acceleration time that much eh. A whole second is huge - most likely all in the 0 - 20 mph zone where the current RWD is super slow. Must be making a lot more torque as the hp is not much more than the current car. That indicates a bigger motor to me.

Good point! Agree on the bigger/additional torque motor and I don't envision any changes to the caliper spec or the wheel width/offset as well. But would love to know for sure, if anyone who took delivery of the upgraded Y can confirm.

Hi, is the steering wheel the same as the 2023-22 model Y before the upgrade? If not too much trouble, can you please take picture of the front and side (the steering wheel neck)?
