Tesla brings longer Model Y to U.S. with roomier third row

Long-wheelbase, six-seat SUV arrives stateside nearly a year after its Chinese debut, with pricing that tops the Model Y Performance.

On the Dash:

  • Model Y L Premium starts at $61,990, undercutting nothing but adding Tesla’s only US three-row option
  • Launch Series bundles free FSD (supervised), Supercharging and paint options
  • Model Y L fills gap left by discontinued Model X, still the top-selling used Tesla

Tesla introduced a new three-row, six-seat version of the Model Y to its U.S. lineup. The Model Y L Premium is now available and listed on Tesla’s website alongside the standard Model Y, Model Y Premium, and Model Y Performance trims. The company announced this launch on its official X account on July 2.

Tesla’s website states that the Model Y L Premium offers an estimated 325 miles of range and accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds, thanks to its dual-motor all-wheel drive. Its overall length is 195.6 inches, slightly longer than the standard Model Y Premium at 188.6 inches. The vehicle provides 89 cubic feet of cargo space, and its interior features a 16-inch center touchscreen along with an 8-inch second-row touchscreen.

According to Tesla’s July 2 announcement, the Model Y L Premium Launch Series starts at $61,990. That trim includes one year each of Full Self-Driving (FSD) (Supervised), Supercharging and Premium Connectivity at no extra cost. Buyers also get any exterior paint color, interior color and wheel option included, along with a tow hitch that normally runs $1,000.

The EV maker’s announcement listed six exterior colors, including Cosmic Silver, offered in the U.S. for the first time. Interior choices include Black and Zen Gray, with Zen Gray also new to the U.S. market.

Tesla also confirmed the Model Y L includes vehicle-to-load capability with a bundled adapter and full PowerShare support. That makes it only the second Tesla in the U.S., after the Cybertruck, to offer PowerShare.

The Model Y L is not a new vehicle globally. Tesla introduced it in China in August 2025, priced from roughly 339,000 yuan, or about $50,000, and later expanded it to Australia, New Zealand and other Asia-Pacific markets before bringing it to the U.S. nearly a year later.

Ultimately, the Model Y L arrives as Tesla winds down production of the three-row Model X and the Model S sedan, leaving the Model Y L as Tesla’s only three-row model in the U.S. market. The timing is notable given the Model X remains the fastest-selling used vehicle in the country, even as Tesla phases it out of production.
