This longer design, about 7 inches more than the standard model, adds a third row of seats for six people, making it perfect for families. The cars were seen heading to delivery spots, suggesting Tesla is gearing up for a September launch.
Details from China’s government filings show the Model Y L will have two motors with a total power of 340 horsepower, powered by an 82 kWh battery that can go 751 kilometers on a full charge.
Some say it’s already being made at Tesla’s Shanghai factory, and tests have even popped up in Germany, hinting it might reach other countries later. The silver color and new badging stand out, adding to the buzz.
People are thrilled, with some calling it a smart move for families, while others are eager to see it in showrooms.
