CEO Elon Musk said its new Model Y variant, launched in China, may never enter production domestically, citing the rise of self-driving vehicles.
The front seats in the Model Y L have a different shape. From behind, the front-row headrests appear to be completely integrated into the seat design, but they’re actually adjustable. There is a new 16-inch center touchscreen, slightly larger than the 15.4-inch unit on the current Model Y.
BEIJING (Reuters) -Tesla said in a post on the Chinese social media platform Weibo on Monday that its Model Y L was "coming soon", having previously registered plans to introduce the new six-seater electric vehicle in China. Copyright 2025 Thomson Reuters.
The Tesla Model Y L is almost certainly coming to the U.S., and the timing likely falls in early 2026. While the company hasn’t confirmed it, all signs—from prototype sightings to market demand—point in that direction. For families who felt the standard Model Y was just a bit too tight and the Model X too expensive, the Y L could be the sweet spot.
Tesla China has priced its six-seat Model Y variant about 30 per cent higher than its basic edition and has started accepting orders from customers who prefer spacious, long-range electric vehicles (EVs) for family use.
