2025 Tesla Model Y Juniper Facelift: New Police Vehicle in US
When the 2025 Tesla Model Y Juniper is set to hit the US market later this quarter, it will feature not only the basic RWD, AWD, and Performance models, but also a special version designed for police use.
New Patrol Car Retrofit
Unplugged Performance, known for its UP.FIT shop that transforms Teslas into fleet vehicles, has just revealed plans to offer a fully-equipped Model Y Juniper retrofit for patrol cars shortly after the refresh debuts in the US.
A week ago, Tesla made an announcement regarding the new 2025 Model Y, with a tentative release set for March. They are currently utilizing the Chinese New Year celebrations to enhance and rework the Model Y Juniper production lines at their Shanghai Gigafactory in preparation for mass production.
Production Updates
Prior to this, Tesla was churning out over 600 units of the updated design per day. Recently, there have been numerous reports of truckloads of Juniper models being shipped from Giga Shanghai, including the new Glacial Blue color option.
Alongside the US launch, Tesla is also rolling out the 2025 Model Y Juniper in Europe, having commenced mass production at Giga Berlin earlier this week. Past speculations suggested that the Model Y Juniper would be released simultaneously in China, Europe, and the US, so it’s only a matter of time before we see these updated models coming from the Gigafactories in Texas or Fremont, where the 4680 batteries for the US version of the Model Y refresh are likely being produced.
Law Enforcement Applications
Unplugged Performance boasts unmatched expertise in modifying Tesla vehicles for police use, meaning the Model Y Juniper tailored for law enforcement agencies across the United States could be available very soon after its US launch.
According to the UP.FIT shop, police departments have reported savings of around $15,000 per vehicle each year by operating their Tesla fleet instead of other options. Therefore, the Model Y Juniper might find its way into police car fleets shortly after it becomes available in the US.

Model 3 Performance Aero Kit Boosts Style and Downforce
The Tesla Model 3 Performance, a car that can go from 0 to 60 MPH in under three seconds, already has a fast and stylish design. However, Unplugged Performance felt it could be improved.
Upgraded Carbon Fiber Aero Kit
They have introduced a new Carbon Fiber Full Aero Kit for the 2024 Tesla Model 3 Performance that elevates its sporty look without looking overdone or pointless. The elements made of carbon fiber in the front fascia and the subtle rear spoiler help push the car down, increasing stability at high speeds, achieving 426lbs (1896N) of downforce while only increasing the drag coefficient by a mere 1.93%.
Customizable Options
Moreover, the Aero Kit is designed to be modular, allowing owners of the Model 3 Performance to choose the parts they want. However, the complete setup is visually impressive as it is. When asked about their decision to enhance the most performance-oriented Model 3, Unplugged Performance shared their view on Tesla’s somewhat plain vehicle designs.
Tailored for Enthusiasts
They mentioned that Tesla focuses on efficient manufacturing and broad usability for their cars. In contrast, they’ve tailored their kit for serious car enthusiasts who are looking for something distinct, akin to a premium AMG variant. It’s clear that the aftermarket kit not only makes the Model 3 Performance more noticeable but also adds “stability and grip when you need it, with only a rounding error’s worth of drag.”
The Carbon Fiber Full Aero Kit for the 2024 Tesla Model 3 Performance features aerodynamics optimized through CFD and is currently available for preorder. Pricing starts at $395 for front deflectors or rear spats, $2,695 for the rear carbon fiber wing, and $7,430 for the complete M3P Aero Kit.
