Tesla Seeks Chinese Approval for Long-Wheelbase Model Y L and Model 3+

The MIIT filings aim to broaden Tesla’s lineup following a mid-2025 slump, with the six-seater Model Y L set to debut this autumn.

Bislang gab es den Juniper lediglich mit fünf Sitzen, das ändert sich nun – zumindest in China.
Das größere Model Y kommt mit deutlich längerem Radstand und mehr Sitzen daher.

Ob das doppelt schattierte "Y" am Heck die drei Sitzreihen symbolisieren soll?

Overview

  • Tesla has applied for MIIT sales licenses for a six-seater long-wheelbase Model Y L and a rear-wheel-drive Model 3+ variant in China.
  • The Model Y L measures 4.98 meters long on a 3.04-meter wheelbase, pairs LGES NMC cells with dual motors for a combined 340 kW output, and weighs 2,088 kg.
  • Tesla confirmed on its official Weibo account that the Model Y L will launch in China this autumn.
  • The Model 3+ application outlines a rear-wheel-drive configuration with an NMC battery sourced from LG Energy Solution, placing it between existing LFP- and AWD-NMC Model 3 trims.
  • The filings follow a 17.5 percent drop in Model Y sales during the first half of 2025 and underscore Tesla’s effort to diversify beyond its best-selling SUV.
