a few days ago, we learned from relevant channels that the mid-term facelift tesla model y will be officially launched in early 2025. at the same time, tesla may launch a 6-seater version in the chinese market, and its body size will be increased, becoming a "china-specific version" model.

it is understood that the seven-seat model y sold by tesla in the us market is not popular in the chinese mainland market due to the narrow third row of seats. therefore, the chinese mainland version of the model y will only provide 6 seats to improve riding comfort, and it is reported that tesla has asked its suppliers to prepare for the double-digit growth of model y production in the shanghai factory to support the production of new models in the chinese mainland market.

industry insiders said the launch of the six-seat model y highlights the competitive pressure tesla faces in the mainland chinese market, while tesla is focusing more on the development of autonomous driving technology and robot taxis in the united states.

however, tesla china responded to this by calling it false news. earlier, when spy photos of a suspected new tesla model y were exposed at the berlin factory, musk responded on social media that tesla would not launch a modified version of the model y this year.
