Tesla Inc. announced plans on June 26, 2026, to introduce the Model Y Long Range to the United States market. Sales for the new variant are expected to begin by the end of the year.
The move follows the vehicle's successful launch in China, where its larger dimensions and spacious interior gained significant popularity. Tesla aims to meet rising U.S. consumer demand for larger electric SUVs through this introduction.
AutoForecast Solutions reports that production will commence in September at Gigafactory Texas. Recent sightings of camouflaged versions on American roads further substantiate the company's launch plans.
