The world's No. 1 selling mid-size SUV, Model Y, has been further evolved into the 6-seater all-around SUV, Model Y L (Model Why Ell).

Model Y L maintains the fundamental "ease of driving," "practicality," and "safety" of the Model Y, while expanding its usage scenarios. As its name suggests, 'L' stands for Long, achieving a wheelbase of 3,040mm, longer than the Model X. The Model Y L, which can accommodate the needs of three-generation families for outings, travel, or drives with loved ones, is an SUV with the potential to surpass even the convenience of minivans.

Orders are available starting today, April 3rd, via the Tesla app and website. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in late April, before the Golden Week holidays. Except for select stores, the actual vehicle can be viewed at Tesla stores nationwide.

### Key Features The body has been extended by approximately 180mm in overall length and 150mm in wheelbase, maximizing effective space and achieving a class-leading interior volume. The exterior design maintains a dynamic and stylish impression. The roofline has been redesigned, achieving an astonishing drag coefficient (Cd) of 0.216. The new rear spoiler provides powerful downforce, enhancing high-speed stability. With a class-leading cargo capacity of up to 2,539L, even when seating 6 people, the all-around SUV can store 28-inch + 20-inch suitcases in the rear trunk and a 20-inch suitcase in the front trunk. The body color lineup expands to 6 colors, including the new "Cosmic Silver." The wheels are exclusively the 19-inch Machina wheels, meaning the Model Y L requires far fewer troublesome option additions (reducing purchase anxiety). Of course, all safety features are standard, a characteristic that is uniquely Tesla.

### **Premium 3-Row Seating. Pursuing Comfort for All Seats** All seats have been redesigned to provide premium comfort for every passenger. Additional air vents have been added near the pillars for the 2nd and 3rd rows. The comfortable interior is further enhanced by silver-plated coating applied to the roof glass and tailgate glass.

Model Y L Also Eligible: 3 Years of Zero Fuel Costs! Supercharger Free Campaign

Tesla's mission is to introduce more people to the appeal of Tesla and to achieve its new company mission: Building a World of Amazing Abundance.

We are launching a campaign where customers who order a new Tesla vehicle (in-stock or custom order) from April 1st and complete delivery by June 30th will receive free charging at Tesla Superchargers for three years*1.

This benefit fully leverages the convenience of Tesla's rapid charging network. Those who purchase and take delivery of a Tesla during this period can expect savings equivalent to tens of thousands of yen compared to gasoline vehicles. Furthermore, it offers peace of mind beyond the economic advantage of not needing to pay for fuel for three years, a unique initiative only Tesla can provide.

Additionally, if you purchase a Tesla now, you can receive a national subsidy of 1.27 million yen. Residents of Tokyo can also receive a subsidy of 400,000 yen (up to 800,000 yen) from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.*6

In this era of soaring gasoline prices, why not own a dream car with three years of unlimited charging?

Purchase Benefit: Free Tesla Supercharger charging fees for 3 years*1

【Notes】1. This campaign applies to the use of Tesla Superchargers nationwide. Charging at other facilities or parking fees are not covered. Please note that any excess charges incurred after charging completion are not included in this campaign. 2.

If you have an unfulfilled order from before December 31, 2025, you cannot cancel that order to place a new one under this campaign. This campaign is subject to change or termination without prior notice. 6. This subsidy program will end when the budget is exhausted.

What is Tesla Supercharger?

Tesla Supercharger is one of the world's largest rapid charging networks, with over 75,000 stations.

In Japan, we operate 146 locations and 726 Superchargers nationwide, from Hokkaido in the north to Okinawa in the south (as of April 2026). Furthermore, the majority of domestic charging facilities with charging capabilities of 150kW or more are Tesla Superchargers. We believe that establishing a seamless and readily available charging environment is essential for the widespread adoption of electric vehicles in society. Tesla will continue to work on expanding its charging network to ensure that owners can easily charge their vehicles by simply plugging in, wherever they go.
