Tesla has launched a longer, 6-seater Model Y L in the U.S., a long-wheelbase variant previously available in Malaysia, China, Australia, and India. This new Model Y L is praised for its improved versatility, comfort, and driving dynamics. It strategically fills a gap in Tesla's U.S. lineup, offering a larger, multi-passenger SUV after the Model S and X were discontinued. Unlike the current cramped 7-seater Model Y, the L version adds six inches of length, significantly enhancing head and legroom. This expansion coincides with Tesla's strong global sales growth, up 24.9% in the second quarter.

The Model Y L “Long Wheelbase” Premium is the largest and most expensive version of Tesla's best-selling vehicle. There's a lot to stack up and compare.

U.S. delivery dates for the just-announced Model Y L are not immediate as Tesla ramps up production of the long-wheelbase Y.

The Tesla Diner is one year old as crowds lined up to charge and eat. I visited the Tesla Diner in West Hollywood today (see video below) and it was busier than usual.

Tesla Diner was bustling with activity as it celebrates one year and highest-usuage Supercharger. The Cybercab was front and center.

Back in the day, the Prius was the definitive eco-friendly car. The RAV4 may be Toyota's second act.

Subaru seemed to be lost as an outdoorsy, eco-activist-friendly brand when the EV arrived. With the Uncharted, it's found its way.
