Tesla is reportedly preparing for limited trial production of the refreshed Model Y "Juniper" at its Shanghai factory, starting October 22nd. This comes after the significant Model 3 "Highland" refresh. Despite Tesla denying a Model Y refresh this year, evidence suggests it might be imminent. Production will begin slowly with only a few vehicles daily and strict restrictions. The refreshed Model Y might not be widely available by year-end, with a potential Q1 2025 release. Spy photos indicate the redesign could include a new front end, improved aerodynamics, and interior enhancements similar to the Model 3's recent updates.

Liebherr's hydrogen-powered wheel loader will undergo a two-year pilot project at an Austrian quarry. Unlike fuel-cell technology, it uses a hydrogen combustion engine, potentially reducing carbon emissions significantly. The project aims to demonstrate the feasibility of hydrogen for large vehicles, although the current hydrogen production largely relies on fossil fuels, raising questions about its sustainability.
