It seems to me to be a worthwhile update in some of the substantial underlying changes. As for the appearance, I honestly don’t find it to be all that different from the previous version. Just some alterations in a few details. Which is fine by me - I really like the look of the previous version.

100% of drivers would use an instrument cluster if they had put one in.
Instead, a rear screen that is utterly useless to those who never have rear passengers.
Guarantee that rear screen is more $$$ to add than is saved by stalk removal.
I hope an aftermarket shifter solution becomes available, even if it’s a set of PRND push buttons. Swiping a screen when rocking a vehicle out of snow would suck.

Model Y standard range is still available on Tesla’s site.
279 mile range and 0-60 in 5.0 sec. (USA version)

Not the first time they did this, and I'm also disappointed with the residual value of my older MS. I might end up not selling it, accept the accellerated depreciation and continue to drive it. At this rate I doubt the MS will ever see a new redesign.

No that's the new standard range. They briefly released one 2 years ago that was 240 miles
Model Y juniper is suppose to happen next year, so it may make sense. Debut both at the same time.

Not an SUV/CUV guy so I haven’t tracked the history of the Y as closely as the S and 3.
Looking at the specs on the Tesla site, the acceleration of the Highland update is a bit slower now for some reason, 6.1 vs 5.8 seconds for the RWD and 4.4 vs 4.2 for the LR. Weight is roughly the same so I wonder what has changed there...
PS also the boot has gained 33 liters of space some how

Look at the carwow video. They mention it and show the bottom rear lights operating (it even has fog lights).
I'm not entirely sure however if they are tall enough however, and there are rumors there will be changes to the car for the NA market (so far reveal only applies to China and Europe).

Doesn't it have to have lights there, or some form of static light, since the rear lights now all go with the trunk lid?

Yes, for the US market that is required, which was the whole discussion point! Basically, when the trunk is open there still needs to be lights, so manufacturers have to figure various ways to satisfy that when lights go with the trunk (for example adding secondary lights that are only visible with trunk open, or leaving some lights somewhere that don't move with the trunk, etc).
The question is if the bumper lights are high enough to satisfy requirements in the US. I guess we will see when the final US version is out.
