Tesla has started delivering its Model Y Long Range (L) in China, marking its first shipment of the vehicle in the country. The deliveries come after Tesla received the necessary certifications from Chinese authorities in December 2022. The Model Y L is Tesla's fourth model available in China and is expected to be a popular choice due to its affordable price and impressive performance.
The demand for the Model Y L in China seems substantial. Just days following the vehicle’s release, industry watchers estimated that Tesla received about 35,000 orders for the vehicle on the day of its launch. More recent estimates from industry watchers have suggested that Tesla China might have doubled its usual vehicle orders for August thanks to the new variant [1].
Tesla China VP Grace Tao hinted at the company's efforts to meet the high demand. In a post on Weibo, Tao wrote that Tesla's colleagues at the Shanghai Gigafactory are working overtime to get the new car to customers as soon as possible [1]. The Model Y L has the potential to be a best-seller for the electric vehicle maker, thanks in part to its comfortable six-seat configuration and its reasonable starting price of RMB 339,000 ($47,180) [1].
When the Model Y L was initially released, Tesla China listed the vehicle’s first deliveries to be sometime in September 2025. As of writing, however, new orders of the new Model Y L are listed with an estimated delivery date of October 2025. This suggests that the Model Y L has been sold out for September [1].
