Despite upbeat sales of the refreshed version of its Model Y SUV, Tesla is still stuck in the mud in its second-largest market.
The Model Y L is 4,976 millimeters long (196 inches), which makes it about 179 mm (7.0 inches) longer than the regular Model Y. Its 1,920 mm width is identical to the five-seater version but the 1,668 mm height makes it about 40 mm taller. The 3,040 mm wheelbase (120 inches) also makes it about 50 mm longer (2.0 inches) between the axles.
Instead, Tesla extended the wheelbase to 3,040mm, or 150mm (5.9 inches) longer than the five-seat Model Y. In addition to the added length, the new Y L gets unique wheels, an updated spoiler, new seats, and appears as though it’ll be available with a new gold paint color.
