Key Points:
- Tesla has launched the North American Model Y L, a three-row, six-seat electric crossover, with production ramping up at Gigafactory Texas and deliveries starting in September.
- The Model Y L features unique regional differences from overseas builds, including new 20-inch Uberhelix Wheels with minimal range impact and standard 15W non-cooled wireless phone chargers, unlike the 50W cooled pads in Giga Shanghai models.
- The vehicle is 7 inches longer with a 6-inch longer wheelbase than the standard Model Y, and includes a body-integrated rear spoiler that adds 15 miles of driving range and improves third-row headroom.
- Inside, the Model Y L offers premium upgrades such as a 19-speaker audio system with subwoofer, a second-row center-channel speaker, and three more inches of third-row headroom than the base Model Y, surpassing even the discontinued Model X.
- Tesla plans to upgrade North American Model Y L wireless charging pads to 50W active cooling in the future as faster Qi charging standards become more common in the region.
