Thailand is one of the few markets globally to receive the extended wheelbase Model Y variant.

The Model Y L is positioned as a six-seat SUV designed for family use, with increased interior space and a fully redesigned second row with captain seats.

Tesla Thailand has highlighted key specs for the vehicle, including up to 681 km of WLTP range, 0–100 km/h acceleration in around five seconds, and an expanded cargo capacity of over 2,500 liters.

The vehicle also features adaptive suspension and a 19-speaker audio system, as well as a 16-inch infotainment display.

Alongside the Model Y L, Tesla also displayed a fully dismantled Tesla Model 3, offering a detailed look at the vehicle’s internal components and engineering.

According to Prasertsuk, the Model 3 display allows visitors to see “Tesla’s technology from the inside out.”
