Tesla Launches 6-Seat Model Y Long Wheelbase in US at $61,990

Tesla has officially introduced the Model Y Long Wheelbase in the United States and Puerto Rico, delivering a stretched, six-seat configuration of the world’s top-selling electric vehicle. This new variant adds a third row of seating and represents the most substantial update to the Model Y lineup since its redesign earlier this year. The Launch Series edition starts at $61,990 and comes equipped with 12 standard features, including premium interior upgrades and advanced driver-assistance capabilities.

The expanded body length allows for a more spacious cabin, accommodating up to six passengers without compromising cargo room. Tesla designed this version specifically for families needing extra seating capacity while maintaining the Model Y’s signature performance and range. Production has already begun, with deliveries expected to reach early reservation holders within the coming weeks.

This launch underscores Tesla’s strategy to capture a broader segment of the midsize SUV market, directly competing with traditional three-row offerings from legacy automakers. By stretching the wheelbase, Tesla also improves rear passenger legroom and provides easier access to the third row. The company has not yet announced plans to release a standard five-seat version of the long wheelbase model, but the six-seat layout is positioned as a premium option for buyers seeking maximum versatility.

With this move, Tesla continues to refine its most popular vehicle, ensuring the Model Y remains competitive as the electric vehicle market grows increasingly crowded. The 2026 Model Y Long Wheelbase is now available to order online through Tesla’s official channels in the U. S. and Puerto Rico.
