Tesla has rolled out a minor update to the China-made five-seat Model Y, upgrading the central touchscreen while leaving vehicle pricing unchanged, according to information published on the company’s Chinese website and monitored by CnEVPost.
All three five-seat Model Y variants sold in China now feature a 16-inch 2K-resolution center display, replacing the previous 15.4-inch 1080p panel. The updated screen is the same specification used in the six-seat Model Y L and is intended to improve visual clarity inside the cabin, an area of increasing focus as Chinese automakers compete on interior technology and user experience.

Beyond the display upgrade, specifications and pricing for the five-seat Model Y remain unchanged. The model continues to be offered at starting prices of RMB 263,500 ($37,730), RMB 288,500 and RMB 313,500, while the six-seat Model Y L starts at RMB 339,000.
Tesla has also adjusted estimated delivery times for locally produced vehicles in China. The base Model Y now shows a wait time of one to three weeks, down from earlier estimates extending into January. The two higher five-seat variants have shifted to four to six weeks, while the Model Y L is listed at two to four weeks. Delivery estimates for all locally produced Model 3 variants have also shortened to two to four weeks.

In parallel, Tesla has expanded incentives in the Chinese market. The company introduced a new blue exterior paint option for the Model 3 and rolled out seven-year low-interest financing across its locally produced lineup. For the first time, it is also offering a five-year zero-interest financing option for the Model Y L.
China remains Tesla’s most competitive market globally, with domestic electric vehicle brands increasingly differentiating themselves through advanced cabin displays, software features and aggressive pricing strategies.
