For many drivers accustomed to tame, underpowered daily commuters, even the base version of the Tesla Model Y can feel like a thrilling step up. But for those who want more than just a taste of performance, the standard Model Y doesn’t quite cut it. Fortunately, Tesla has something in the works for that crowd.

Revealed for the Chinese market, the long-wheelbase Model Y comes with seats for six - but will it come stateside?

An unexpected comparison from a Porsche and Tesla owner reveals why his $90,000 Macan feels unlikeable next to his Model Y, and it just might change how you judge performance SUVs.

Discover the Tesla Model Y L, featuring enhanced space and power with a new long wheelbase, set to launch in China this autumn.

In the second quarter, Model Y sales in the U.S. fell 15% year-over-year, to some 86,000 units from over 101,000, Cox Automotive estimates. That was also far fewer than the roughly 105,000 Model Ys Tesla delivered in America in Q2 2023. The shortfall contributed to an overall decline in the U.S. for Tesla of 12.6%, or around 20,000 cars.

Instead, Tesla extended the wheelbase to 3,040mm, or 150mm (5.9 inches) longer than the five-seat Model Y. In addition to the added length, the new Y L gets unique wheels, an updated spoiler, new seats, and appears as though it’ll be available with a new gold paint color.

Tesla is poised to launch the long-wheelbase variant of the Model Y in the US later this year, finally nailing the coffin for the obsolete Model X

The six or seven-seat crossover is a growing market in China. Will the three-row Model Y be enough to compete?

EVs can tow just like gas cars, but there are some caveats if you're a Tesla owner looking to hitch up a trailer.

With delivery estimated to start from the third quarter, Tesla will drive on to India's busy roads, targeting a niche premium EV segment that accounts for just 4% of overall sales in the world's third-largest car market.
