A newly released, extended version of the Tesla Model Y is reportedly receiving significant owner feedback regarding its rear suspension geometry. The specific vehicle in question is the Tesla Model Y L, an extended six-seater iteration of the popular model, which began production in Shanghai and was introduced last August. The model is anticipated to launch in European markets in the near future.
Reports circulating on Chinese social media platforms indicate that owners are encountering concerns related to the vehicle’s handling characteristics when fully loaded. Specifically, the design of the rear section appears to cause the suspension to lower considerably under weight. This lowering effect has reportedly reduced the clearance between the tires and the wheel arches to a degree where the wheels come into close proximity with the bodywork.
Industry observers note that this reduced gap raises concerns regarding both the vehicle’s dynamic road handling and the potential for premature tire damage. The core issue centers on how the suspension manages load distribution in this particular extended model. While the Tesla Model Y L offers increased passenger capacity, the performance feedback suggests that the structural dimensions of this extended model may require further engineering review to ensure optimal performance and durability across varied loading conditions.
These reports highlight a focus area for the manufacturer as the vehicle prepares for broader international deployment.
