it home reported on september 3 that reuters reported that tesla plans to produce a six-seat version of the model y in china by the end of 2025, aiming to revitalize this "nearly obsolete" electric car by meeting the specific needs of the chinese market. as of press time, tesla has not yet commented.

people familiar with the matter said that tesla will also sell the seven-seat model y in the united states, but because the cramped third row of seats is not popular in china, the chinese version will only offer six seats.allegedly, “it couldn’t even accommodate a large dog.”

an unnamed person familiar with the matter said:tesla has asked suppliers to prepare for double-digit growth in model y production at its shanghai factory.

reuters previously reported that tesla released the model y in 2020 and has been developing a modified version called "juniper". another person familiar with the matter said the model can carry five passengers and is scheduled to be launched in 2025, rather than 2024 as originally planned.

reuters noted that the launch of the six-seat model y highlights the competitive pressure tesla faces in china, while tesla prioritizes the development of autonomous driving technology and robot taxis in the united states.

although tesla cut its sales staff in may, the company expects overall sales in china to grow in q3 due to strong growth in small and medium-sized cities. in addition, tesla also plans to launch its fsd smart driving function in china by the end of the year, which may further boost its market sales.
