Tesla has officially sold out all remaining 2025 production slots for the Model Y in China, with new orders for all four trims now showing estimated delivery dates between January and February 2026. The update comes from Tesla’s online configurator, which is now directing customers to purchase vehicles currently in stock if they want guaranteed delivery before the end of the year.

This includes the Model Y L, Tesla’s larger six-seat family-focused variant that launched in China in August and began deliveries in early September. The Model Y L has been in high demand since launch, with its production already sold out into December as far back as October. The extended wheelbase, revamped interior, and focus on family practicality have made it one of Tesla China’s fastest-moving offerings in 2025.

Tesla’s broader Model Y lineup has also expanded in recent weeks. Last month, the company introduced the Model Y+, sold as the Model Y Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive, which offers an impressive 821 km of CLTC-estimated range — making it the longest-range SUV Tesla has ever released.

For buyers hoping to secure a 2025 delivery, Tesla is promoting several end-of-year incentives, including an 8,000 RMB discount on paint upgrades and a limited-time five-year 0% financing plan. With production now fully allocated, those perks only apply to in-stock vehicles.

The Model Y’s strong demand also comes on the heels of stellar real-world performance results. A major Chinese automotive publication recently conducted a comprehensive EV efficiency test comparing top-selling models across the market, and Tesla’s Model Y and Model 3 dominated the field — handily outperforming rivals on energy consumption in high-speed cruising.

With the Model Y effectively sold out for the remainder of the year and early 2026 delivery windows opening up, Tesla’s momentum in China shows no signs of slowing. The company continues to lean on its expanded lineup, improved efficiency, and a loyal customer base to maintain its footing in the world’s largest EV market.
