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.
Tesla continues its product line expansion, responding to market demand for larger electric SUVs, which is a natural progression for the company.
This event indicates Tesla's ongoing strategy of segment expansion within its existing vehicle platforms, maintaining competitive pressure in the EV market.
Tesla now offers a six-seat Model Y variant, broadening consumer choice within its lineup and potentially drawing new buyers who require additional seating.
