Overview

  • The model is live on Tesla's China configurator at 339,000 yuan (about $47,000), with first deliveries guided for September.
  • A six-seat 2-2-2 layout brings second-row captain's chairs with powered armrests plus heating and ventilation, a heated third row, power-folding rear rows and pillar-mounted vents, yielding up to 2,539 liters of cargo space.
  • Length grows 179 mm with a 150–152 mm longer wheelbase for more space, paired with continuously variable damping to improve ride and control, and a larger 16-inch center screen.
  • Official specs quote 751 km CLTC range, 0–100 km/h in about 4.5 seconds and up to 210 km/h top speed from a dual-motor setup fed by an 82 kWh LG battery.
  • Tesla positions the variant for China-first availability and direct competition with local six-seat SUVs such as Li Auto's L8, with no confirmed rollout for other markets.
