Tesla launches revamped Model Y in China in bid to regain market share from Nio, Li Auto


Tesla China has priced its six-seat Model Y variant about 30 per cent higher than its basic edition and has started accepting orders from customers who prefer spacious, long-range electric vehicles (EVs) for family use.

The US carmaker announced on Tuesday that the upgraded version of the Model Y would sport a price tag of 339,000 yuan (US$47,182), compared with 263,500 yuan for the entry-level edition currently.

The three-row SUV with a driving range of 751km is 25,500 yuan, or 8 per cent, more expensive than the existing long-range edition, which has a range of 750km.

“The new cars are displayed in all of our showrooms now,” Tesla said in a statement on Tuesday, adding that deliveries of the Model Y L would start next month.
