Tesla Model Y L Delivery Dates in China Slip to December as Demand Surges

Tesla’s new Model Y L continues to be a massive hit in China. The company has extended the estimated delivery period for the six-seat, longer-wheelbase SUV to December 2025 — a clear sign that the vehicle is now sold out through both October and November (via @Tslachan).

Launched in August and priced from 339,000 yuan (about $47,000 USD), the Model Y L has quickly gained traction among Chinese buyers looking for a larger, family-oriented electric SUV. Delivery estimates had already slipped into November by early last month, and with the latest update, Tesla appears to have officially sold out its Model Y L production run for the rest of the month.

The Model Y L represents Tesla’s first true family-focused SUV. Compared to the standard Model Y, it features a longer wheelbase, a stretched body, and a three-row, six-seat configuration with adjustable second- and third-row seating. Inside, the vehicle offers a larger 16-inch central touchscreen and a comfort-oriented suspension setup for smoother rides — all designed to appeal to families who value both practicality and technology.

Earlier this week, Tesla China introduced a new 8,000 yuan ($1,120 USD) “Light Gray” premium interior option, adding an extra touch of personalization for buyers. The new interior option expands the trim lineup and complements the vehicle’s premium aesthetic.

Despite a slower start following its debut, Model Y L registrations have grown rapidly in recent weeks. The SUV has become a strong driver of Tesla’s China sales, which rebounded in September to mark the company’s first month of growth in Q3 2025. With continued demand and limited supply, it seems likely Tesla China will sell every Model Y L it can produce through the end of the year.

For now, the Model Y L remains exclusive to China, though its design and versatility would make it an attractive option for international markets if Tesla decides to expand its availability. It’s anyone’s best guess when (or even if) Tesla plans to do that, though.
