Tesla’s been quietly building toward this moment, and now it’s official, Model Y L is open for orders in Australia and New Zealand, with deliveries scheduled to begin May 2026. Starting at $74,900 AUD for the Premium AWD configuration, this extended-wheelbase variant targets family buyers who need more than five seats and aren’t willing to compromise on range or technology.
November, 2025, offering Model Y L in the Chinese market, starting at 339,000 yuan.
Model Y L stretches the original formula across three rows and six seats — a meaningful shift for a market where seven-seat SUVs dominate family garages. Tesla’s extended roofline and revised aero design reportedly improve airflow efficiency, contributing to a claimed 681 km WLTP range. That’s a serious number for a three-row SUV. Performance sits at a 5-second 0–100 km/h sprint with a 201 km/h top speed, which remains competitive for the segment.
Buyers can personalize the vehicle with Cosmic Silver paint ($2,600 AUD) or the new Zen Grey Interior ($1,500 AUD), understated additions, but ones that signal Tesla’s push toward a more premium positioning in the region.
Row one gets heated and ventilated seats with powered thigh cushions. Row two features captain seats with powered armrests and one-touch fold functionality. Row three, often the afterthought in competitors’ vehicles, includes heated seats, power recline, one-touch fold, and dedicated climate vents. That’s a notable upgrade over most alternatives at this price point.
Tesla Model Y L also introduces 19-inch Machina 2.0 wheels, acoustic glass, electronic damping, and adaptive suspension, a clear response to longstanding noise and ride-comfort criticisms leveled at previous iterations.
A 16-inch front touchscreen and 8-inch second-row display anchor the cabin’s tech stack, complemented by a 19-speaker Tesla Audio system, FSD Supervised, and integrated Grok AI. Added window, beltline, and third-row side airbags round out a stronger passive safety architecture.
Vehicle-to-load capability means owners can run appliances, e-bikes, or power tools directly from the battery, a practical add for Australian conditions.
For Australian and New Zealand families shopping three-row EVs, the Tesla Model Y L isn’t just an option — it’s setting the Y bar entirely.
