A intriguing sighting has Tesla enthusiasts buzzing: a massive vehicle, resembling a stretched Tesla Model Y, was caught on drone footage at Giga Texas. Our go-to drone pilot, Joe, captured this enigma—possibly yesterday or today. Is this the long-awaited Model Y L? Or could it be something entirely different?
At first glance, the proportions scream "larger Tesla." But zoom in, and doubts creep in. The size and shape don't perfectly match a standard Model Y L. Some speculate it's an exoskeleton protector shielding sensitive components, like the interior, during transport. This could be Tesla's way of reconfiguring production lines at Giga Texas to ramp up Model Y L output later this year.
Elon Musk has teased US production for this bigger Model Y "later this year," and sightings are popping up globally—Thailand is next in line. Owen shared images of a Model Y L with shipping supports, fueling theories that this Giga Texas arrival is a US-bound prototype for line tweaks.
I stick to my prediction: Q3 or Q4 launch. But the community has wilder ideas.

Eyeing a Model Y? The 0% or 0.9% APR deals have no listed end date, but whispers suggest a March 31st cutoff. I bet it'll extend into April—still, lock it in now.
