Tesla is pushing the limits … literally. The Model Y will now be available with three rows of seats, which means that electric mobility in China will take on a new definition: one in which mom, dad, children, grandmother, grandfather and a parrot in a golden cage will be able to travel simultaneously by car. And therefore, the Tesla Model Y extended!
Extended Tesla model y?! From 1 to May 5 (not surprisingly during the Labor Day) the production of the ampliatus began Modelo andinternally known as E80 – Tesla Model y Estesa. The pace will be longer, the most spacious frame and the ambitions will be decidedly imperial. Although the code name E80 – for Tesla Model y Estesa – It looks like the new version of a nuclear submarine, but in reality it is the most suitable model for the families that Tesla has ever designed.
Why now? Because China is no longer a girl in love with Elon
Chinese buyers are no longer the fanboys who buy everything that smells of Silicon Valley has. Local brands such as Byd, Nio and car baked more surprising innovations of a TikTok filter every day. Tesla knows it and responds with wider seats (the elongated Tesla Model Y), a more comfortable rear part and offers similar to those of a Fintech startup. Also with interest -free loans.
Seven places, five years without interest and no more excuses for other cars
In April Tesla surprised everyone with an interestless financing for three years. Now they offer a five -year plan, which means that the Tesla Model Y with extensive autonomy is more convenient than ever. Offer valid until June 30, 2025. Elon knows clearly The power of the number seven – There are so many seats and it takes about as many seconds for this machine to convince you.
But that’s not all! Tesla has an even cheaper version of the Model Y in store
March brought another rumor: the arrival of cheaper y model with label E41whose release is scheduled for 2026. It will be dedicated to those who want a less flashy and cheaper Tesla. It could be said that it will be a “Y model for the proletariat”.
Musk’s factories in China are grinding like a Risiera
Shanghai’s Gigafactory is Tesla’s strongest card – with an annual capacity of about one million vehicles. In March 2025, Tesla was sold in China 74,127 vehiclesin the first quarter a total of 134.607. If things continue like this, they will probably need another giant parking lot.
But … what about the size, battery, autonomy?
Well, that’s (still) a secret. Tesla has not yet revealed the final specifications of the E80 version, but we expect:

- Carrozzeria and elongated wheelbase (at least 2,960 mm or more),
- identical transmissions to the existing Y model (RWD, long range, performance),
- trunk capacity of over 850 liters (including the third row of seats lowered),
- expected price around 295.000 CNY (≈ 37,500 €), comparable to dollars.
When Tesla reveals further details, we will be the first in line, with questions and a tape meter.
Conclusion: Tesla is not retiring, it is only becoming more expansive
In a world where electric cars compete not only for autonomy and price, but also for premisesTesla replies with logic: more places = more love (and more sales). The new Model Y, called E80, is clearly designed for a market in which every centimeter and each car seat are important. Also for the father -in -law.
