Can Tesla's Long-Wheelbase Model Y L Reinvent the Station Wagon?
[]
Latest Content - Car and Driver
To fill the gap left by the Model X, Tesla is bringing over a model that has already been available in most of Asia—the Model Y L. The L stands for Long, as in wheelbase.
The Model Y L is 7.0 inches longer than the Model Y, and 5.9 inches of that length is in the wheelbase, which means considerably more room for second- and third-row passengers.
The added length visually balances out the height increase, and the Model Y L ends up looking more like a reimagined station wagon than a bubbly small SUV.
