Tesla has put the Model Y L on sale in Australia, a longer, six-seat version of the country's top-selling EV. Priced from $74,900 before on-road costs, it stretches the Model Y into three-row family territory and, thanks to a bigger battery, claims 681km of WLTP range, the most of any Tesla currently sold here. Order books are open and first deliveries are already under way.
Pricing
| Variant | Price (before on-roads) |
|---|---|
| Model Y L Premium Long Range AWD | $74,900 |
There is only one variant at launch, based on the Premium Long Range all-wheel-drive Model Y. It sits above the regular Model Y range as the most spacious and longest-range option in the line-up.
Six Seats and More Space
The Model Y L is a longer-bodied, three-row take on the Model Y. It uses a 2+2+2 layout, with two individual seats in the second row and a two-seat bench in the third, for six occupants. Both rear rows fold electronically, opening up more than 2,530 litres of cargo space, and there is a front boot under the bonnet on top of the rear load area.

Range and Charging
The Model Y L's 681km WLTP range is the headline. Drawn from an approximately 88.2kWh battery, it is around 14 per cent more than any other Model Y and makes this the longest-range Tesla on sale in Australia. On a Tesla V3 Supercharger it tops up at up to 250kW, and standard 11kW AC charging covers home top-ups overnight. For the basics on plugging in, our EV charging guide walks through the connector types and speeds.
A first for Tesla in Australia and New Zealand, the Model Y L adds vehicle-to-load, supplying up to 3.3kW of power to external devices through a separate Tesla adaptor. It is handy for camping gear, tools or charging another device away from a powerpoint.
Performance and Tech
Despite the extra length and seat, the Model Y L is no slouch. The dual-motor all-wheel-drive system makes 378kW and 590Nm for a claimed 0-100km/h of 5.0 seconds. Inside, it follows the minimalist Model Y template, with a central touchscreen handling almost every function and over-the-air updates keeping the software current.
Safety
The regular Tesla Model Y holds a 5-star ANCAP rating from 2025 testing, with strong adult and child occupant protection scores. ANCAP has not published a separate rating for the longer six-seat Model Y L, which shares the Model Y's structure and active safety systems. Our guide to ANCAP ratings explains how the scoring works.
How It Compares
At $74,900 before on-roads, the Model Y L gives Tesla a genuine six-seat family EV without jumping all the way to a Model X. It takes on three-row electric options like the Kia EV9 and pricier luxury seven-seaters, undercutting most of them while offering class-leading range and access to the Supercharger network. The Model Y has been Australia's best-selling EV, and the L adds a roomier body style to that recipe, as our EV sales coverage shows. For the wider field, see our best electric SUVs guide.
Warranty
Tesla covers the Model Y L with a 4-year/80,000km vehicle warranty and an 8-year/192,000km battery and drive unit warranty, with a minimum 70 per cent capacity retention guarantee over that period.
Our Take
The Model Y L answers an obvious gap in Tesla's local range: a roomy, three-row family EV that is not as big or as expensive as a Model X. You get six seats, the longest range of any Tesla here at 681km, V2L for the first time, and the Supercharger network behind it. At $74,900 before on-roads it is not cheap, but for families who want space and range in the country's most popular EV, the Model Y L is an easy one to shortlist.
