Tesla Launches Larger Model Y L in the U.S.
Tesla has introduced its larger six-seat Model Y L variant in the United States, aiming to boost sales and address a gap left by discontinued models like the Model X. The vehicle offers more space than the standard Model Y but starts at $61,990 — significantly higher than other variants and competitors such as the Kia EV9 and Hyundai Ioniq 9. While Tesla delivered record Q2 deliveries of 480,126 vehicles in recent months, it faces pressure from falling prices and growing competition. The Model Y L could help increase revenue without requiring a new platform or significant investment. However, its high price may limit demand unless more affordable versions are introduced later. Tesla's automotive business remains central to the company’s financial health despite increasing focus on AI and robotics projects like Optimus and robotaxis.
