Tesla will “stretch” Model Y for China

Sales of the American brand fall all over the world, including the PRC. Tesla is going to spur the demand for its bestseller by the release of a special version with an elongated wheelbase and a six -seater salon. She will receive the YL index and debut in the fall of 2025, writes Car News China with reference to the Tesla Chinese office.

Tesla has so far published only a couple of teasers of the “stretched” Model Y without details, but they became known thanks to the base of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (Miit) of China.

So, the length will be 4976 millimeters, the width is 1920 millimeters, the height is 1668 millimeters, and the wheelbase is 3040 millimeters, which is 150 more than that of an ordinary electric car. The six -seater option will also add in weight: the equipped mass will grow by 96 kilograms and exceed two tons, reaching 2088 kilograms.

Tesla is no longer cool: the brand is rapidly losing the attractiveness of Tesla launched an unmanned taxi. But there is a nuance Tesla cannot even get rid of “welcoming” Model Y

The power plant will include two electric motors: the front will give out 193 forces, and the rear – 269. The peak return of the installation will be 456 forces – six more than that of the usual option. So far, this is the only option recorded in the Miit database.

The maximum speed is also indicated – 201 kilometers per hour, but the battery capacity is traditionally not. It is only noted that the car will receive a three-component NMC accumulator (nickel-Marganese-Kobalt) from LG.

Model Y has long been a Tesla sales driver in China, however, the updated version of Juniper, presented in January, does not go so well. In January-June of this year, the Chinese bought 171.5 thousand units, which is 17.5 percent less than during the same period of 2024
