Are you a Tesla enthusiast eagerly waiting for your custom-built Model Y L? Well, buckle up because it looks like the wait is getting longer. As of December 5th, 2025, delivery times have been pushed to as late as February 2026.
Key Takeaways
- Tesla’s Model Y L in China now has a wait time until Feb. 2026.
- The company is encouraging customers to buy from inventory for quicker delivery.
- New energy vehicle tax exemptions will expire soon, raising costs next year.
While the base model and other five-seat variants of the Model Y won’t be delivered until January or February 2026, there’s still hope if you want your car sooner. Tesla is telling customers to look at in-stock vehicles for immediate delivery options before the end of this year.
The company’s Shanghai factory churned out a whopping 86,700 units last month – that’s nearly ten percent more than November 2024! But with production capacity maxed out and tax benefits going away next year, it makes sense for Tesla to push sales now. So hurry up if you don’t want to miss out on these sweet deals.
And let’s not forget about the Model Y L itself – a spacious six-seater that’s perfect for families or those who need extra room. With prices starting at RMB 339,000 (around $48,765), it doesn’t come cheap but offers great value with its advanced features and tech.
But here’s the kicker: China is scaling back on new energy vehicle tax exemptions next year. So if you’re thinking about buying a Model Y or 3 soon, now might be your last chance to save big bucks before prices go up.
