Tesla Model Y

Tesla China exported 76,380 Model Y units in 2024, a 54.58 percent decrease from 2023. The Model 3 exported 183,178 units, a 4.14 percent increase from 2023.

Tesla's Chinese website offers a seating layout option for the facelifted Model Y, although only five-seat is currently available, implying the possibility of three-row seating variants.

Xiaomi CEO hinted that the YU7 SUV is more competitive in the face of the Model Y update.

Tesla's China website listed the facelifted Model Y and has begun offering two variants it calls the “Launch Series,” with deliveries expected to begin in March.

A facelifted Tesla Model Y not wrapped in camouflage has been spotted undergoing winter testing, signaling that it could be close to launch.

Tesla's Shanghai factory will begin mass production of the facelifted Model Y next month and is expected to begin deliveries of a six-seat Model Y in the fourth quarter of 2025, according to local media.

Tesla plans to produce a 6-seat version of the Model Y in China starting in late 2025, having asked suppliers to prepare for double-digit growth in Model Y production at its Shanghai plant, according to Reuters.

The two updated Model Ys include a 5-seat version codenamed Juniper, which is expected to begin deliveries in the first quarter of next year. The other is a 7-seat version expected to begin deliveries in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Tesla plans to launch a seven-seat version of the Model Y in China and Europe in October, with production of the model already underway at Giga Shanghai, according to local media.

The Model Y ranked first among BEV models in China with wholesale sales of 298,384 units in January-July 2024, with the BYD Seagull coming in second with 227,2934 units.
