Tesla präsentiert Model Y L mit 6 Sitzen

Overview

  • The long-wheelbase SUV seats six in three rows, with captain’s chairs in the second row and power-folding second and third rows to expand cargo space to up to 2,539 liters.
  • Published specs include a 3.04 meter wheelbase, dual motors rated at 142 kW front and 198 kW rear, an 82 kWh LG battery, 0–100 km/h in about 4.5 seconds and a 201 km/h top speed.
  • Tesla lists a 751 km range on China’s CLTC cycle, a measure that typically overstates distance compared with Europe’s WLTP standard.
  • Production is planned for this autumn at Gigafactory Shanghai with an initial China-only rollout, and the company has not confirmed sales outside China.
  • The launch counters pressure from BYD, Li Auto, NIO and Huawei-backed Aito as Tesla’s Q2 2025 deliveries in China declined roughly 12% year over year.
