Tesla’s popular six-seat Model Y L continues to see strong demand in China, with the extended-wheelbase variant now completely sold out through January 2026. New orders for the Model Y L are now facing estimated delivery dates in February 2026, according to the latest information on Tesla’s online configurator and data shared by industry tracker @Tslachan on X.
This marks a significant increase from the previous 4–8 week delivery window for the Model Y L, which had remained unchanged since mid-November. The Model Y L was initially introduced in China back in August, with prices starting at 339,000 yuan (approximately $48,000 USD). Deliveries for the family-oriented variant began in early September and quickly gained popularity in the market. The six-seat configuration and longer wheelbase of the Model Y L make it Tesla’s first true people-mover, catering to the needs of larger families.
Demand for the Model Y L has continued to rise, with delivery estimates slipping into December as early as October. The latest update indicates that production for the Model Y L is now fully booked until February 2026, aligning with the trend seen across Tesla’s lineup in China. Recently, all Model Y trims produced at Gigafactory Shanghai had their estimated delivery windows pushed into 2026, signaling that Tesla has already reached its production capacity for the year.
The strong demand for the Model Y is also evident in Tesla’s sales performance in China. The automaker experienced a significant increase in sales last month, with Giga Shanghai-made EV sales climbing 9.9% year-over-year to 86,700 units. Despite the competitive EV market in China, the Model Y continues to be among the top new energy vehicles in the country.
As the Model Y L remains unavailable until February 2026, Tesla’s lineup in China shows no signs of slowing down. Despite being exclusive to the Chinese market, the Model Y L is quickly becoming one of Tesla’s most sought-after vehicles globally. The continued success of the Model Y L underscores Tesla’s strong position in the EV market and its ability to meet the evolving needs of consumers.
