Model Y L Spotted in the US: 6-Seater Tesla SUV on the Horizon?
Hey everyone, Dennis here from DennisCW! Welcome back to the blog. If you're a Tesla fan like me, you're going to love this update. A Model Y L—the six-seater, third-row version—has been officially spotted on US roads. This could be the confirmation we've been waiting for that it's headed stateside later this year. Shoutout to Michael for the epic catch on I-280 northbound in the Bay Area. Let's dive into the details, plus some other hot Tesla news, deals, and a giveaway recap.
Proof the Model Y L is Coming to the US
This isn't just a one-off sighting. We've seen similar camouflaged test vehicles in the Bay Area before:
- Model Y Performance was spotted on nearly the same road.
- Juniper refresh prototypes have popped up too.
Tesla loves testing in California before a big reveal. My prediction? Deliveries could start in Q3 or Q4 2024, maybe even aligning with the Model Y Performance launch timeline from late last year. Expect the usual rollout: more spottings, interior leaks, and then boom—orders open.
Camouflaged Model Y L on I-280—longer body, third-row vibes.
Compared to the Chinese version (shoutout to Kyle from Out of Spec Reviews), it's bigger but that third row looks snug—perfect for kids or extra cargo on road trips. For families or dog owners like me, it's a game-changer over the standard Model Y. Would you trade your current Tesla for one?
Tesla's recent earnings call emphasized Full Self-Driving (FSD) over vehicle features, but demand for bigger SUVs is real. Can't wait to see it in person!

Roadster Reveal Delayed (But Exciting)
Elon says a demo could happen in a month: "One of the most exciting products on wheels ever." Expect hopping, thrusters? It's not a volume seller, but the spectacle will be epic.
