Tesla Prepares Six-Seat Model Y L for India Launch

The move signals a bid to revive demand in a high-tariff market with weak registrations.

Overview

  • Reports on Friday cited by Bloomberg say Tesla plans to introduce the long‑wheelbase Model Y L in India as early as next week.
  • The three‑row variant seats six in a 2+2+2 layout and stretches the wheelbase to about 3,040 mm for more rear cabin space.
  • VAHAN data shows 342 Tesla registrations since the July 2025 debut, falling short of roughly 600 early orders reported by outlets.
  • Bloomberg reported in January that Tesla offered discounts of up to ₹200,000 on about one‑third of imported Model Ys to clear unsold stock.
  • The Model Y L would be shipped from Tesla’s Shanghai plant, and steep import duties of about 70% to 110% are expected to keep prices high.
