Tesla Model Y L in Australia: The Complete 6-Seat Guide (2026)
What Is the Tesla Model Y L?
The Tesla Model Y L (also written Model YL) is Tesla's long-wheelbase, 6-seat version of the Model Y. It was developed primarily for the Chinese market and subsequently launched in Australia in 2026 in right-hand drive configuration.
The "L" stands for Long — Tesla stretched the Model Y's floor pan by 166mm to accommodate a genuine fold-flat third row of seating, making it the first Tesla SUV in Australia to seat six passengers.
This is not a minor update or a trim level. The Model Y L is a structurally different vehicle with a longer body, revised interior, updated console dimensions, and different accessory fitment requirements.
