MY 2024 Refresh - Project Juniper?

[Sunshine Speed]

Model 3 Fremont timeline history:
- Production of old model 3 ended in December 2023
- Production of new Highland Model 3 is now ramped up in May 2024 for both SR and LR, with 300+ vehicles currently in U.S. inventory ready to deliver.
Ramp-up was 5 months. Slower deliveries because no US tax credit.

Model Y Fremont/Austin Juniper possible timeline :
- Production of current Y could end December 2024
- Production of new Juniper LR Y could ramp up at Fremont OR at Austin, maybe quicker ramp than the 3 because the Y LR gets the EV tax credit and there are two factories in the U.S.

Just a guess.

I know change is inevitable, but my wife wants no parts of a car without stalks, so trading our 2021 SR RWD on a 2024 LR for essentially a wash is very enticing. YMMV of course. Juniper will definitely have some other features that will be great.

I've also been seeing a lot more Highland 3's driving around where I live.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe Tesla has more lines dedicated to producing the Y than the 3, meaning once they re-tool the lines for Juniper they should be able to get them out faster than they did for Highland.

Call me "old school", but I like a spare tire. Yes, they can be hard to come by, but my 2022 Lincoln Corsair PHEV has one. My Corvette does not and cannot, but it comes with Michelin run-flats. I'm aware there is a third-party spare that doesn't quite fit in a MY. All I'm asking for is a slight trunk modification so a spare can be offered as a factory option. Sometimes a tire can be damaged beyond what roadside service & a slime kit can do. Happened to me in the middle of rural Kansas. A full-size spare kept me going 100 miles until I could buy a new replacement tire.

I have solar & two Powerwalls. Sufficient if I have mostly sunny days. Insufficient for continuous cloudy days. It's cheaper & more versatile to have an EV for additional battery storage than more Powerwalls. Only additional hardware required is the new wall connector, $580. While I do like the MY and the current price is appealing, about the only reason I would voluntarily buy an EV in the next few years is Powershare.

Finally got my Modern Spare stored!!

After thinking about this for way too long, I started exploring how to do this today (inspired by other threads and YouTube videos). Before I knew it, I had completed the modification and storage of the Modern Spare. I am pretty happy I got this done.
