JAKARTA - The Tesla Model Y facelift received a warm welcome in China, which is the largest automotive market in the world. In fact, the car order, dubbed 'Juniper', reaches up to 50,000 units.

Quoting from the Arenaev page, Wednesday, January 15, according to one of the sources of the surge in demand, this proves the popularity of the Tesla brand in China, particularly the Model Y, which is consistently the best-selling product in the country's electric vehicle sector.

The Tesla Model Y facelift in China comes in two variant options, consisting of a rear wheel drive priced at 263,500 yuan or around Rp. 581 million, while the driving of all wheels is at 303,500 yuan or Rp. 670 million.

In design, the most prominent change to Facelift's Model Y is its exterior design, which takes inspiration from robotaxi Cybertruck and Cybercab using a new forward light design.

The rear wheel drive version is powered by a 62.5 kWh battery and has a CLTC range of 593 kilometers, up 39 kilometers from its predecessor 554 kilometers.

The variant is powered by a rear electric motor with a peak power of 220 kW and is capable of running 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 5.3 seconds, better than its predecessor of 5.9 seconds.

Meanwhile, the driving version of all long-range wheels is powered by a battery with a capacity of 78.4 kWh and has a CLTC range of 719 kilometers, an increase of 31 kilometers compared to its predecessor of 688 kilometers.

Tesla itself made a positive sales achievement last year, by sending a total of 480,309 units in China, which is an increase of 5 percent from 2023. Although exports from China decreased by 54 percent in the same year, domestic demand for Tesla electric vehicles remained strong.
