The Tesla Model Y L (stylised as MODEL Y//) is a long-wheelbase, three-row variant of the Tesla Model Y. It was officially unveiled on July 16, 2025, and is scheduled for release in China in autumn 2025.[1][2]

- Length: 4,976 mm
- Width: 1,920 mm
- Height: 1,668 mm
- Wheelbase: 3,040 mm
Compared to the standard five-seat Model Y, the L variant is 179 mm longer, 44 mm taller, and has a 150 mm longer wheelbase.[1]
Weight

Powertrain
[edit]The Model Y L features dual electric motors: 142 kW on the front axle and 198 kW on the rear axle, offering a combined peak power of 340 kW (456 hp). The vehicle is all-wheel drive (AWD) and powered by ternary NMC batteries supplied by LG Energy Solution.[1]
Market
[edit]At launch in July 2025, the Model Y L was announced to be available only in the Chinese market. It is expected to compete with other extended-wheelbase electric SUVs in China, such as the BYD Tang L, AITO M9, Li L8, and Onvo L90.[1]
In 2024, the Model Y was Tesla's best-selling model in China, with 480,309 units sold. However, sales declined by 17.5% year-over-year in the first half of 2025, following the release of the Model Y Juniper refresh.[1][5]
