Tesla starts taking orders for the Model Y Long Wheelbase (six-seat) in the United States and Puerto Rico. The vehicle is a stretched version of the Model Y that adds a third row for additional seating, expanding the Model Y lineup beyond the standard configuration. Multiple outlets describe the change as Tesla’s most significant Model Y expansion since its redesign earlier this year.
Pricing is presented as a Launch Series starting price. CNet and The Next Web both cite $61,990 for the Launch Series, while Engadget refers to a $62,000 price point. Tesla’s rollout focuses on the six-seat Long Wheelbase model rather than a limited regional variant.
Digital Trends reports the Long Wheelbase provides 325 miles of range and includes upgraded comfort features. Other coverage characterizes the third row as usable while aiming to keep the range impact small. Orders open for customers in the US and Puerto Rico, with Tesla marketing the updated layout and amenities alongside the stated range and pricing.
