More Room, More Seats: Tesla Unveils Model Y L in the US

Tesla is giving American consumers more reasons to stretch out with the official US debut of the long-wheelbase Model Y L. Previously exclusive to the Chinese market, this roomier variant of the popular electric SUV is now available as a 'Launch Edition'.

Measuring nearly five meters in length, the Model Y L significantly expands on its standard counterpart, offering a practical six-seater configuration. This added dimension caters to drivers seeking greater passenger comfort and cargo versatility, making it an ideal choice for larger families or those who frequently transport more people.

The US 'Launch Edition' comes equipped with:

  • Six-seater interior layout
  • All-Wheel Drive (AWD)
  • An extended wheelbase for enhanced cabin space
  • Starting price of $61,990

This strategic introduction broadens Tesla's Model Y appeal, addressing a growing demand for more spacious and family-friendly EV options in the North American market, directly competing in the burgeoning large electric SUV segment.
