US EditionTesla Model YL: Six-Seat Electric SUV One Step Closer to Australia
Tesla's six-seat Model Y L, priced from AU$58,900, offers a longer wheelbase and Full Self-Driving subscription, expanding options for Australian buyers.
- On Sunday, Department of Infrastructure's Road Vehicle Regulator documents showed Tesla's China-exclusive Model Y L as variant YL5NDB approved for sale in Australia, Drive reported.
- By adding 150mm to the wheelbase, the Model Y L stretches the regular Model Y to 3040mm and 4969mm overall, replacing the second-row bench with captain's chairs and heated third-row seating.
- Owners can add Full Self‑Driving for AU$149 per month, with the system requiring driver oversight, Tesla documents show.
- The Model Y L will give Tesla its first three‑row SUV offering in Australia since the Model X was withdrawn in 2020, expanding family choices and improving ownership with Supercharger access and federal Fringe Benefit Tax exemptions via novated leasing.
- While no showroom launch date is confirmed, approvals typically precede arrivals by months; Tesla has not announced a date, and the Model Y L's European approval noted a 681km WLTP range.
