Jan 2026 Update
Key New Features: 7-seat option added to Long Range AWD ($2,500). 16-inch center screen now standard on Premium and Performance. Black headliner standard on all trims. Matte black badging. 20-inch Helix 2.0 wheels available ($2,000).
Base Price: $44,990

Seating: 5 adults (optional 7-seat, Long Range AWD)

5-yr TCO Note: Excellent TCO thanks to low maintenance and fuel savings. Best overall value in the Tesla lineup.
Federal Credit: Expired — federal EV credit ended Sept 30, 2025
Recommendation Rationale: Juniper refresh (Jan 2026) was a major overhaul — 50% new parts, full-width light bar, ventilated seats, gen 2 suspension. The Model Y L is a larger, pricier 3-row product, not a replacement. If you want a 5-seat crossover, the timing is genuinely good right now.

Latest Refresh: Jul 2026
US & Puerto Rico Launch
Key New Features: Tesla officially launched the Model Y L in the United States and Puerto Rico. Arrives first as a Launch Series priced at $61,990. 325 miles EPA range. 6-seat 2-2-2 captain chair layout. Available to configure and order at Tesla.com.
Base Price: $61,990
FSD Hardware: HW4 (AI4 Computer)
Real-World Range: ~285-310 mi real-world typical (325 mi EPA)
Seating: 6 adults (2-2-2 captain chair layout)
Towing: TBD — not confirmed at US launch
Cycle Position: 11%
5-yr TCO Note: Launched at $61,990 Launch Series. Strong TCO potential — same low-maintenance Model Y platform with 3-row utility at roughly half the cost of a Model X.
Federal Credit: N/A — federal EV credit expired Sept 30, 2025. Check state incentives.
Recommendation Rationale: Only the $61,990 Launch Series is currently available in the US. Standard trims at lower price points are expected. Buying now means paying a significant premium before the lineup matures. Wait for the full US trim range.

Status: Wait
Latest Refresh: Sep 2026
Current US Lineup
Key New Features: Tesla's live US configurator lists Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive at $74,990, Premium All-Wheel Drive at $84,990, and Cyberbeast at $99,990 before destination, order, taxes, and other fees.
Base Price: $74,990
FSD Hardware: HW4 (AI5 Computer)
Real-World Range: 280-310 mi typical (EPA 318-325 mi)
Seating: 5 adults
Towing: 7,500 lb (AWD New) / 11,000 lb (AWD Standard, Cyberbeast)
Cycle Position: 0%
5-yr TCO Note: New AWD base trim offers best value. Massive fuel savings vs gas trucks ($7,000-10,000 over 5 years).
Federal Credit: Expired — federal EV credit ended Sept 30, 2025
Recommendation Rationale: A Cybertruck-based 3-row SUV (CyberSUV) is in development for ~2027. If family utility is a priority, waiting for the SUV variant could be the right call. If you specifically want a truck, the Feb 2026 Refresh is solid hardware.
