en.Wedoany.com Reported - Tesla Japan introduced the three-row, six-seat mid-size SUV Model YL on April 3rd. Based on the Model Y, this vehicle is positioned as the successor to the Model X. Rie Hashimoto, President and Representative Director of Tesla Japan, stated, "We believe it is different from the Model Y." The Model YL is only available in a dual-motor all-wheel-drive configuration, with deliveries scheduled to begin in late April. The price is set at 7.49 million yen.

The Model YL features a three-row, six-seat layout with captain's chairs, allowing passage between the second and third rows, and offers ample headroom in the third row. The body dimensions have increased, with an overall length of 4,980 mm and a wheelbase of 3,040 mm, making it longer than the Model Y. Luggage space expands to 2,422 liters, and the vehicle weight is 2,090 kg. The high-speed cruising range reaches 788 km, and the 0-100 km/h acceleration time is 5.0 seconds. Yosuke Otsuka, Tesla Japan Marketing Manager, noted, "The motor output is the same, but the software control has been altered. The drag coefficient has been reduced to 0.216, and the tires have been changed to the Michelin EcoContact series."

For the interior, the Model YL's seats are all specially designed. The front seats feature electric leg supports, and all seats come standard with heating. The first and second rows also include ventilation. Air conditioning vents are positioned on the B-pillar and C-pillar, while the third row is equipped with cupholders and Type-C USB ports, and the seats can be reclined. Safety features include airbags that extend coverage to the third row, and the chassis has been reinforced for increased rigidity. The second-row seats are equipped with an automatic, armrest-free lifting mechanism for easier access to the third row. The wireless charger has been upgraded to a maximum of 50 watts and includes a cooling fan.

For vehicles delivered by June 30th, Tesla is offering three years of free use at Superchargers nationwide. Purchases this year are eligible for a national subsidy of 1.27 million yen and a Tokyo Metropolitan Government subsidy of up to 800,000 yen. Yosuke Otsuka commented, "Typically, adding options increases the cost, but for the Model YL, the only options are exterior and seat colors. I believe this represents Tesla's new approach to purchasing." By simplifying configurations, the Model YL offers specifications that are easier to purchase.
