Tesla brings Model Y L ‘Launch Series’ to the U.S. at $61,990

Tesla has officially launched the Model Y L in the United States and Puerto Rico for $61,990. It is the longer-wheelbase version of the Model Y, and has been available in China since last year.

Tesla brings the Model Y L to the U.S. just months after it phased out the only pure SUV in its lineup, the Model X. It is slightly longer than the Model Y configurations that are already available in the U.S., and features a three-row, six-seat setup with Captain’s Chairs being among the many features that make this a truly fantastic offering.

The Model Y L is priced competitively at $61,990, and features 325 miles of range and a 0-60 MPH in just 4.4 seconds.

Tesla also added a handful of new features that are not available in even the Premium Model Y. Here’s a full list of its features:

• Heated/Ventilated Front Seats with Powered Thigh Cushion
• Heated/Ventilated Captain’s Seats in Second Row with Powered Armrests & One-Touch Fold
• Heated Third-Row Seats with Power Recline, One-Touch Fold & Child Seat Anchors
• Improved Airflow, Increased Efficiency, More Range
• 89 cubic feet of trunk space
• Upgraded Acoustic Glass and Suspension to Minimize Road Noise
• Adaptive Damping for a Smooth, Stable Ride
• Staggered Tires for Enhanced Grip
• Larger Tailgate for Better Rear Visibility and Bigger Windows Overall
• 16″ First Row and 8″ Second Row Touchscreens
• 19-Speaker Immersive Tesla Audio
• 50W Wireless Charging Pads with Active Cooling and Charging Ports for All Other Seats
• FSD Supervised and Integrated Grok AI

Tesla is also delivering these first units as a “Launch Series,” which comes with additional features, such as:

• Door Trim Puddle Lights
• Suede Dashboard Wing
• Exterior and Interior Badging
• Floor Mats
• Sill Plates

The launch of the Model Y L in the U.S. marks a huge offering from Tesla to U.S. consumers. People have been calling for Tesla to bring a larger car to the U.S., and it needed it more than ever now that the Model X is gone.

It is a huge accomplishment for Tesla to get the Model Y L to the U.S., and after reporting strong deliveries today, it will be interesting to see how this car impacts future quarterly delivery reports.

Deliveries for the Model Y L “Launch Series” are slated for September or October of this year.
