Tesla just boosted the Model Y L range to 332 miles on 19-inch wheels and 328 miles on 20-inch wheels after recent testing wrapped up.
This Model Y L range update beats the prior figures of 325 and 320 miles respectively. The Model Y L supercharging speed also improved, now adding 172 miles in just 15 minutes compared to the previous 164 miles.
Context on the Tesla Model Y LR range gains
These updates come from completed efficiency testing on the long-range Model Y L. Owners with orders already in the queue get the benefits without any extra cost or action. Demand remains strong, pushing Model Y L delivery dates into 2026 and even January 2027 for some configurations.
What this means for Tesla owners
If you have a Model Y LR order pending, the vehicle is literally getting better before delivery. Early screenshots show possible deliveries as soon as late August or early September in some regions. Check factory delivery invites for the latest timing details.
One clear Model Y L drawback stands out though: leasing remains unavailable. Tesla confirmed this directly to customers, which could push some buyers to cancel since many prefer leasing over financing or cash purchases.
Bottom line
The range and charging improvements make the Model Y L more appealing on paper, but the lack of leasing options is a real limitation for a segment of buyers. If you're ordering, consider financing through a credit union for the best rates. For new deliveries, Model Y L accessories are already rolling out, including 3W all-weather floor mats — 35% off with code DENNIS35.
