Specifications change at generation boundaries, not every model year. Two cars four years apart often take the identical oil, filter, and battery. | Generation | Model years | Body style | Engines | Oil | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2nd generation ('Juniper' refresh) | [2025](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/tesla/model-y/2025) | Compact electric crossover SUV (refreshed body, light-bar front/rear) | 2 | None (EV) | | 1st generation (original body) | [2020-2024](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/tesla/model-y/2020-2024) | Compact electric crossover SUV (5- or 7-seat) | 5 | None (EV) | ## About the Tesla Model Y The Tesla Model Y is the compact electric crossover that became the world's best-selling vehicle in 2023, and for owners it is a maintenance oddity: no oil changes, no spark plugs, no transmission service, but tires, wipers, cabin filters, and the low-voltage battery still wear out, and the tires wear fast because the car weighs about 4,400 lbs and makes instant torque. The original body (2020-2024) launched with Long Range AWD and Performance versions, added a short-lived Standard Range RWD in early 2021, a Texas-built 4680-cell Standard Range AWD in 2022-2023, and an RWD base model for 2024. Early cars (through late 2021) use a conventional 12V lead-acid battery that commonly dies in 2-4 years; later cars switched to a long-lived Tesla-proprietary ~16V lithium-ion unit. The heavily revised 'Juniper' Model Y arrived for 2025 with new suspension, a light-bar front end, and mostly carried-over service items. Recalls have been frequent but most are over-the-air software fixes; the ones that need a shop visit are the early suspension/seat-belt/brake-caliper fastener recalls and the 2022-2023 steering-wheel fastener recall. Owners look things up here mostly for tire sizes and pressures per wheel option (19-inch Gemini, 20-inch Induction, staggered 21-inch Überturbine), 12V battery type by build date, and the two-filter cabin air filter replacement. ## Tesla Model Y by model year - [2025](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/tesla/model-y/2025) - [2024](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/tesla/model-y/2024) - [2023](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/tesla/model-y/2023) - [2022](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/tesla/model-y/2022) - [2021](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/tesla/model-y/2021) - [2020](https://whichcarparts.com/cars/tesla/model-y/2020) ## Sources - [Tesla Model Y Owner's Manual (2025+), Wheels and Tires](https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/modely/en_us/GUID-FDDB10EF-FFA9-46EB-B8CC-03614AE92B6B.html) - [Tesla DIY, Replacing Cabin Air Filters (Feb-2025 production changes)](https://service.tesla.com/docs/Public/diy/modely/en_us/GUID-1C689042-6645-4617-B270-7F2DA9A5624E.html) - [Tesla Support, Vehicle Maintenance (official intervals)](https://www.tesla.com/support/car-maintenance) - [Car and Driver, 2025 Model Y (Juniper) US details, 327-mi EPA range](https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a63541277/2025-tesla-model-y-us-details-price/) - [T Sportline, Model Y Juniper wheel & tire guide (Crossflow/Helix/Arachnid OE fitments)](https://tsportline.com/blogs/tesla-aftermarket-support/the-tesla-model-y-juniper-wheel-guide) - [NHTSA recall lookup, 2025 Tesla Model Y (25V-002, 26V-315)](https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls) - [Kelley Blue Book, 2025 Model Y ranges](https://www.kbb.com/tesla/model-y/2025/) - [Wikipedia, Tesla Model Y (Juniper timeline, Performance/Standard 2026 launch)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Model_Y) Specifications vary with engine option, production date, and market.
