It’s rumoured that the world’s biggest selling car, the Tesla Model Y, is going into first production of its new version (‘Juniper’) from tomorrow. The picture below is just somebody’s guess how it will look, based on some road-testing espionage. (It’s considerably bigger in real life than it appears in pictures, isn’t it Suzanne?) The pressure is on Tesla, the Chinese have produced rivals to the Y that are cheaper and at least equal in quality. The Y is a genius car in many ways, a family car with supercar performance. What sets it apart is the design, the large range of features, not just the performance or quality.
