The Tesla Model YL costs $61,990 in the US for the only version currently offered, the all-wheel-drive Launch Series, or $63,380 with the $1,390 destination fee. For that you get a stretched, six-seat Model Y with a claimed 325 miles of range and 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds. It is about $22,000 more than the cheapest Model Y, so the real question is whether the extra row is worth it.
- Price: $61,990 Launch Series AWD (+$1,390 destination).
- Range / 0-60: 325 miles EPA (Tesla), 4.4 seconds.
- Seats: 6 (2+2+2) with captain's chairs; 89 cu ft max cargo.
- Launched: US July 2, 2026; China August 2025 (~$47,000).
Model YL Price in the US
Tesla opened US orders on July 2, 2026 with a single "Launch Series" trim at $61,990, as reported by Electrek and InsideEVs. It comes fully loaded, so most options Chinese buyers pay extra for are included. Cheaper trims have not been announced.
| Tesla Model Y version (US) | Price | Seats |
|---|---|---|
| Model Y RWD (entry) | $39,990 | 5 |
| Model Y Premium AWD | $49,990 | 5 |
| Model Y Performance | $57,990 | 5 |
| Model YL Launch Series AWD | $61,990 | 6 |
Prices exclude destination, fees, taxes and incentives and can change without notice; confirm on tesla.com/modely. Analysts had expected about $54,000 based on China's roughly $4,000 premium for the L, so the US price came in high.

Model YL vs the Standard Model Y
- Space: the extra 150 mm of wheelbase goes into the cabin, which is why Tesla could fit a real third row instead of a squeezed seven-seat bench.
- Price: $4,000 more than the Model Y Performance and about $22,000 more than the entry Model Y.
- Comfort: adaptive damping, upgraded acoustic glass and staggered tyres, aimed at families rather than lap times.
Who it is for: families who regularly carry five or six people. If the third row would be used a few times a year, a standard Model Y Premium saves about $12,000.

Seats, Cargo and Features
The second row has two independent captain's chairs with heating, ventilation, powered armrests and one-touch fold. The third row gets heated seats with power recline and child-seat anchors. Other standard features listed at launch include a 19-speaker audio system, an 8-inch rear touchscreen, 50W cooled wireless charging pads and FSD (Supervised) with Grok AI integration. If you are weighing whether to pay for FSD beyond the included trial period, see our guide to how Grok is being built into Tesla products.

Model YL vs Kia EV9 and Hyundai Ioniq 9
| Three-row EV | Starting price (US) | Max range |
|---|---|---|
| Tesla Model YL | $61,990 | 325 mi |
| Kia EV9 | $54,900 | up to 304 mi |
| Hyundai Ioniq 9 | $58,955 | up to 335 mi |
Rival prices are entry prices as listed by Electrek at the Model YL launch; well-equipped EV9 and Ioniq 9 trims cost more. The Tesla's advantages are the Supercharger network and software; the Korean rivals are bigger inside and start cheaper.
What the Model YL Costs to Own
At $63,380 delivered, a 72-month loan at 6% APR with 10% down works out to roughly $950 a month before insurance; run your own numbers in our Tesla payment calculator or compare a lease in the Tesla lease calculator. Charging at home typically costs a fraction of fuel for a three-row gas SUV; our gas savings calculator shows the yearly difference for your mileage, and the insurance calculator estimates premiums by state.
Is the Tesla Model YL Worth It?
- Buy it if you need six real seats, want Tesla's charging network and plan to keep the car for years.
- Wait if price matters: cheaper trims have not been confirmed yet, and the China car shows Tesla can build it for much less.
- Look elsewhere if you want the most space per dollar; the Kia EV9 starts about $7,000 lower.
FAQ: Tesla Model YL
What is the Tesla Model YL?
The Model YL (Tesla writes it Model Y L) is a long-wheelbase, six-seat version of the Model Y. Its wheelbase is about 150 mm (5.9 inches) longer than the standard Model Y, which makes room for two second-row captain's chairs and a usable third row. It launched in China in August 2025 and in the US on July 2, 2026.
How much is the Tesla Model YL in the US?
The only US version at launch is the all-wheel-drive Launch Series at $61,990 before the $1,390 destination charge, or $63,380 with it. Tesla's page has also shown the trim at $63,630 including destination and order fees. Cheaper trims have not been confirmed.
What is the Model YL range and 0-60?
Tesla quotes an EPA-estimated 325 miles of range and a 0-60 mph time of 4.4 seconds. Some listings show slightly different range depending on wheel size, so check the figure for your configuration on Tesla's site.
How many seats does the Model YL have?
Six, in a 2+2+2 layout. The second row has heated and ventilated captain's chairs with powered armrests and one-touch fold; the third row has heated seats with power recline and child-seat anchors.
Is the Model YL cheaper in China?
Yes. The Model Y L launched in China in August 2025 from roughly $47,000. Analysts expected a US price near $54,000, but the US Launch Series came in at $61,990 with most options included.
The Bottom Line
The Tesla Model YL is a six-seat, long-wheelbase Model Y priced at $61,990 in the US, with 325 miles of range and 0-60 in 4.4 seconds. It solves the Model Y's biggest weakness for families, a cramped third row, but costs about $22,000 more than the entry Model Y and more than its main Korean rivals. If a cheaper trim arrives, it becomes much easier to recommend; we will update this page when Tesla changes the line-up.
