Tesla Plans to Launch Six-Seater Model Y L Variant in India

Tesla is set to launch the six-seat, long-wheelbase Model Y L variant in India as early as next week. This three-row SUV, first introduced in China last year, aims to expand Tesla's lineup amid modest sales in India, where high import tariffs affect pricing. The Model Y L will be imported from Tesla's Shanghai factory, joining the existing five-seat Model Y. Despite initial low registrations and discounts offered, Tesla seeks to boost its presence without introducing new platforms.
