Tesla Model Y is making a splash in the domestic market. More than 6,000 units have been sold for two consecutive months in May and June, solidifying its position as the No. 1 import vehicle market type.









A new trim is added to the Model Y, the main vehicle, drawing attention. It is a long wheel base that stretches the body of the Model Y. The Tesla Model YL features a three-row six-seater layout with a longer wheelbase and a higher electric height.
















According to a Chinese Patent and Trademark Office document, the output of the standard Model Y was upgraded from 443 horsepower to 456 horsepower. The launch in China has been confirmed for autumn.The U.S. launch is also scheduled, but it has not been officially announced yet. It is expected to arrive in Korea as early as next year.

It has been known for some time that Tesla is developing a six-seat Model Y. This rumor has been officially confirmed thanks to China's Ministry of Industrial Information (MIIT).









According to the MIIT document, Model YL, a long wheelbase version of Model Y, consists of three rows of seats.However, it is not just increased space.This version provides stronger performance with a wider interior space. It is foreshadowing meaningful updates to existing lineups.









The new model YL is a six-seater, not a seven-seater. It is expected that the captain's seat will be installed as standard in the second row.The full length is 4976 mm, which is 179 mm longer than the conventional Model Y.The barrel was 40 mm higher. The wheelbase has also been expanded to 3040 mm.






Model YL has an estimated output of 456 horsepower. The new long wheelbase model is expected to be released, with SNS notifications sent to prospective U.S. owners at a time when the launch in China has been confirmed.




However, domestic introduction is currently undecided. The domestic response to the Model Y is quite hot and the actual sales volume is also high, so it is expected that the Long Wheel Base will be released sequentially.
