Tesla has expanded availability of its long-wheelbase Model Y L, launching the six-seat electric sport utility vehicle across eight markets in Asia as part of a broader regional rollout.
The new markets include Japan, Thailand, South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Macau, and Philippines.
In South Korea, Tesla said the Model Y L will start at 64.99 million won (about $43,000), with vehicles already arriving in showrooms. Deliveries across most of the newly added markets are expected to begin later this month.
Initial supply will be sourced from Tesla’s Shanghai factory, which currently serves as the primary production hub for the Model Y L. However, sightings of the model at Tesla’s Texas facility suggest additional production capacity may be introduced in the future.
The Model Y L represents an extended version of the standard Model Y, featuring a longer wheelbase and a redesigned interior. The vehicle adopts a dedicated six-seat configuration, replacing the five- and seven-seat layouts available in other variants.
The second row includes independently adjustable seats, while the third row offers improved legroom and headroom compared with earlier configurations. Additional features, including a powered armrest, are aimed at enhancing passenger comfort, particularly for family-oriented use.
The model was first introduced in China last year and has since expanded to other markets, including Australia and New Zealand, before its latest rollout across Asia.
Tesla has not confirmed a timeline for the Model Y L in North America. Chief executive Elon Musk previously indicated a potential launch could occur in late 2026, although recent developments suggest the schedule could change.
