Inside sources have disclosed that Tesla plans to make a six-seat variant of its Model Y car in China from late 2025, according to Reuters.
The news agency cited two people with direct knowledge of the matter.
One of the unnamed sources said the automaker has reportedly asked suppliers to prepare for a “double-digit increase” of Model Y output at its Shanghai factory.
Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the news agency.
The move to make a six-seater variant highlights pressure from domestic rivals, such as Nio, which recently launched its Onvo L60, which is targeted at families.
“Tesla planning six-seat Model Y for China” was originally created and published by Just Auto, a GlobalData owned brand.
