Since its launch in 2020, the Model Y has become Tesla’s best-selling model over the past four years, bringing in substantial profits.

With sales of the Model Y starting to decline in many markets this year, consumers have been anticipating the launch of Project Jupiter, which would bring refreshed designs to the current Model Y and Model 3.

The electric car giant seems to have responded to the Tesla community’s wishes with a new upgrade: the Model Y 6-seater. However, according to multiple sources, the vehicle will be launched in China rather than the US.

According to Reuters, the upcoming Model Y 6-seater is expected to be more affordably priced to compete with local Chinese brands such as Geely, BYD, and Chery. In China, Tesla is facing an unprecedented sales and profit slump. The new Model Y could be the key to regaining Tesla’s glory in the country and returning it to the top 3 best-selling brands.

In reality, the 3-row configuration of the Model Y has been available in the US for some time, but it’s quite cramped for anyone over 5’7″. According to some US-based users, even a large dog would struggle to fit comfortably in that space.

Multiple sources suggest that the China upgrade will offer a larger, more spacious cabin to cater to the needs of Chinese consumers.

Cars launched in China often don’t make it to the European or US markets for various reasons. However, according to Carscoop, Tesla might consider selling this upgraded model in the US after its China launch, as it could be a good option for those seeking more space but unable to stretch their budget to the Model X.

Details about the launch timeline, dimensions, and design of the 6-seater Model Y for China remain undisclosed.
