Tesla Kicks Off Model Y's Launch in China, Deliveries Commence in September
Tesla's Model Y L: A Game-Changer in Electric SUVs
Tesla has unveiled a new variant of its best-selling electric SUV, the Model Y, called the Model Y L. This latest model is now available in China, starting at 339,000 yuan (C$65,100/US$47,200).
One of the standout features of the Model Y L is the introduction of air-cooled wireless phone chargers, a first for Tesla. The left charger now supports up to 50W speeds, ensuring your devices stay powered on the go.
The Model Y L also offers a more comfortable and spacious ride. The third row now comes with dedicated vents, heated seating, and cupholders, making it a more attractive option for families. The extended wheelbase makes the Model Y L 8 inches longer than the refreshed five-seat Model Y, providing more space for adult passengers in the back seats. The second row even comes with powered captain's chairs, ventilated and heated with electric powered armrests.
The Model Y L's cargo capacity is impressive, offering up to 2,539 liters (89.6 cubic feet) when both the second and third rows are folded flat. This ample space makes it ideal for those who need room for luggage or gear.
In terms of performance, the Model Y L can accelerate from 0-62 mph in 4.5 seconds. It's powered by an 82 kWh LG NMC battery pack and dual-motor All-Wheel Drive setup, offering a smooth ride over diverse road conditions due to its suspension system.
On the EPA cycle, the Model Y L has an estimated range of about 327 miles (526km). Tesla estimates a CLTC range of 527 miles (848km) for the Model Y L.
The Model Y L also boasts some premium interior upgrades. It features a full black headliner, a silver-plated glass roof, and upgraded aluminum trim throughout the cabin. The central touchscreen grows to 16 inches, providing a larger and more immersive interface for the driver.
The Model Y L is equipped with Tesla's second-generation suspension system with continuous variable damping. It also supports 250 kW peak Supercharging, ensuring quick charging on the road. Deliveries of the Model Y L in China began in September.
While the Model Y L is expected to be available internationally, the timeline is uncertain. However, Tesla has announced that it will offer enhanced charging capability and an 18-ton speaker system with this model. The focus is on the advanced charging capability and unique audio system features, with specific brand variants or sub-brands not detailed in the available information.
In conclusion, the Model Y L offers a combination of performance, comfort, and practicality, making it an attractive option for those in the market for an electric SUV.
