The Model Y L adds a longer wheelbase, more comfortable seats, a more spacious third row than the previous six-seat Model Y, B-pillar vents for rear passengers, and other upgrades. U.S. production is slated to start at the end of next year but the model might ultimately not arrive because of the advent of self-driving in America. The Robovan is the only announced vehicle approaching this larger-SUV concept but lacks a steering wheel and pedals and is optimistically several years away. Full Self-Driving rollout, manufacturing ramp, and EPA regulatory hurdles could add one to two years before mass production. Many families would value the extra space.
The only thing that Tesla has announced that even slightly matches this sort of idea is the Robovan, which is, optimistically, several years off because it lacks a steering wheel and pedals and will require Full Self-Driving to be fully autonomous. Even if Tesla launches FSD next year, it will take a year or two to figure out manufacturing, go through regulatory hurdles with the EPA, and eventually enter mass production for customers.
The Model Y L has a variety of big changes that would be advantageous for the U.S. market, including a longer wheelbase, more comfortable seats, a third row that appears to be more spacious than Tesla's six-seat Model Y that it previously offered, B-Pillar vents for rear passengers, and more. However, Musk said it won't come to the U.S. until next year, and that it "might not ever, given the advent of self-driving in America."
