"It is the second most-affordable Model Y trim level in China, trailing the base Rear-Wheel-Drive and coming in under the All-Wheel-Drive. The big appeal with this new Model Y trim is obviously its price, but its range rating is also one of the best we've seen. Rated at 821 kilometers on the CLTC scale, it converts to 510 miles. It uses a 78.4 kWh CATL battery."
"Converted to real-world range, however, that 821-kilometer range rated by the CLTC actually is equivalent to about 357 miles on the EPA scale, which is still a very respectable number and comes in at a higher range than the Long Range All-Wheel-Drive configuration that is available in the U.S. Tesla has truly brought a wide variety of Model Y trims to the Chinese market, including a new Model Y L configuration that features a slightly longer wheelbase, as well as additional interior features like extended thigh legrests and captain's chairs with armrests."
Tesla launched a Model Y Long Range Rear-Wheel-Drive in China priced at 288,500 yuan ($40,500). The trim is the second-most-affordable Model Y in China, sitting between the base Rear-Wheel-Drive and the All-Wheel-Drive. The vehicle is rated at 821 kilometers under the CLTC test cycle, equivalent to 510 miles CLTC and supported by a 78.4 kWh CATL battery. That CLTC figure converts roughly to about 357 miles on the EPA scale, which exceeds the U.S. Long Range All-Wheel-Drive range. China receives multiple Model Y configurations, including a longer-wheelbase Model Y L with enhanced interior features. U.S. availability of this Premium RWD variant remains unclear.
