Tesla has launched the Model Y L, its stretched, three-row, six-seat SUV, in the US and Puerto Rico. The automaker confirmed the launch on Thursday, with the vehicle now configurable online.
The Model Y L arrives first as a “Launch Series” priced at $61,990 — more than Tesla’s own Model Y Performance and both of its main three-row EV rivals.
What the Model Y L is
The Model Y L is a longer version of Tesla’s best-selling SUV. It adds 150 mm (5.9 inches) to the wheelbase, bringing it to 3,040 mm, and roughly 180 mm (7 inches) to overall length, opening up room for a third row.
Tesla is using the space for a 2+2+2, six-seat layout rather than a squeezed-in seven-seat bench. The second row gets independent captain’s chairs with heating, ventilation, powered armrests, and one-touch fold, while the third row gets heated seats with power recline and child-seat anchors.
