"Tesla has launched a new interior option for the rare Model Y L trim that is available only in China, marking the first new color for the inside of a vehicle in some time. Tesla has traditionally stuck with either Black or White interior options with the Model 3 and Model Y, although the Model S and Model X have had additional colors. The Model S and Model X still have a Walnut Cream interior option that costs an additional $2,000."
"With the mass market models, however, Tesla has maintained the Black or White selections, until now, at least in China. Tesla just launched a new light grey interior option for the Model Y L in China, which will cost $1,120. It differs from the white interior slightly, but it is nice for buyers in China to have this third option:"
"In terms of whether it will make its way to other markets, CEO Elon Musk has said that the Model Y L could potentially make its way to the United States at the end of 2026, but it is not a certainty. Musk said: "This variant of the Model Y doesn't start production in the U.S. until the end of next year. Might not ever, given the advent of self-driving in America." This variant of the Model Y doesn't start production in the US until the end of next year. Might not ever, given the advent of self-driving in America. - Elon Musk (@elonmusk) August 20, 2025"
Tesla introduced a light grey interior option for the Model Y L in China at a price of $1,120. The new color adds a third interior choice alongside the longstanding Black and White selections on mass-market Model 3 and Model Y vehicles. The Model S and Model X already offer additional interior colors, including a Walnut Cream option for an extra $2,000. The light grey differs slightly from the white interior and is available only on the Model Y L trim in China. Elon Musk indicated U.S. production could start at the end of 2026 but U.S. availability is not guaranteed.
