Display units of Tesla’s stretched Model Y L are starting to appear in U.S. stores as production ramps up at Gigafactory Texas. A recent aerial view shared by drone enthusiast @AirwaveDynamics showed the outbound lot filled with Launch Series Model Y L vehicles, many in the new Cosmic Silver exterior with a Zen Grey interior, alongside delivery-ready units in Diamond Black and Stealth Grey. These configurations are now making their way directly to showroom floors.

First Impressions From the Showroom Floor
Multiple locations have refreshed their display vehicles. @SDembraski checked out a Model Y L at Tesla’s Naperville store in Chicago, and @RoadsterDogOn saw a Cosmic Silver example with a Zen Grey interior and 20-inch Uberhelix wheels at the Tesla store in Tysons, Virginia. While these early cars are for static display and not yet available for public test drives, visitors can sit in all three rows and explore the updated cabin layout.


The Model Y L is a long-wheelbase evolution of the Model Y, measuring 196 inches in length—7 inches longer than the standard Model Y—and offering a true 2-2-2 seating layout. Key specifications are summarized below:
| Feature | Model Y Long Wheelbase |
|---|---|
| EPA Range | 325 Miles (19" wheels) / 320 Miles (20" wheels) |
| Acceleration (0-60 mph) | 4.4 Seconds |
| Top Speed | 125 mph |
| Battery Capacity | 83 kWh |
| Seating Layout | 3-Row, 6-Seat Configuration |
| Total Cargo Space | 89 Cubic Feet |
| Peak Charging Rate | 250 kW at Superchargers |
| Audio System | 18 speakers, 1 subwoofer |
| Cameras | 8 camera array, including front bumper camera (with washer) |
| Length | 196 inches |
| Curb Weight | 4,600 lbs |
@SDembraski reported that the interior features a larger 16-inch touchscreen, actively cooled wireless phone chargers, premium 20-inch wheels, and a front bumper camera with its own washer. He added that the rear floor is only slightly raised and that, at six feet tall, he could sit in the third row comfortably. He described the overall build as very premium and well-made.

U.S. Orders and Availability
This showroom rollout follows Tesla launching the six-seat Model Y L in the U.S. earlier this month. The variant first appeared in China last summer and is now available to order in North America starting at $61,990, with initial customer deliveries planned for September. Demand is high, with new orders already trending toward an October–November delivery window at the time of writing.

Orders placed during the initial production window include a special Launch Series package. It adds exclusive launch badging and bespoke accents, plus a free year of Supercharging and Full Self-Driving (Supervised). A camouflaged Model Y L was also seen running validation laps on a test track in Germany, suggesting a European launch could follow. For U.S. shoppers considering an order, visiting a local store to experience a display unit is an effective way to evaluate the added third row before deliveries begin this fall.
