As per data aggregated by Tesla watchers in China, the Model Y L has quickly risen as one of the country\u2019s best-selling large SUVs just weeks into its first deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The momentum of the Model Y L has been so notable that it ended up being China\u2019s fourth best-selling mid-to-large SUV in September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tesla Model Y L September sales<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As per data compiled by Yiche, the Tesla Model Y L was able to sell 8,221 units domestically in September. This places it in fourth place in China\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Tslachan\/status\/1979522113112543547\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rankings<\/a> for best-selling large SUVs, just below the Leapmotor C16, the Li Auto L6, and the Xiaomi YU7, which sold 8,312, 11,827, and 22,244 units in September, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A look at the prices of China\u2019s top four mid-to-large SUVs would show that the Model Y L is one of the pricier vehicles among the four. The Xiaomi YU7\u2019s inclusion in the list is also quite interesting as the all-electric crossover primarily competes with the five-seat Model Y, not the Model Y L. Needless to say, the price difference between the Model Y L and the Xiaomi YU7 is quite substantial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24TSLA&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$TSLA<\/a> \ud83c\udde8\ud83c\uddf3<br>Tesla China&#39;s Model YL sold 8,221 vehicles in September.<br><br>It was the fourth-largest seller in the large SUV category. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/qwJUgdRWbZ\">pic.twitter.com\/qwJUgdRWbZ<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Tsla Chan (@Tslachan) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Tslachan\/status\/1979522113112543547?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 18, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Just getting started<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tesla Model Y L only <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teslarati.com\/tesla-extends-model-y-l-delivery-estimates-december-2025\/\">started deliveries<\/a> sometime in September. Following its launch in August, the Model Y L received positive reviews from professional reviewers, with many praising the vehicle\u2019s spacious cabin and its reasonable price. It did not take long before the Model Y L was sold out for October, and later, November as well. Considering that the Model Y L now has an estimated delivery date of December 2025 for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tesla.cn\/modely\/design#overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">new orders<\/a>, it seems safe to assume that every unit built by Giga Shanghai this quarter will be sold to consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Model Y L has the makings of a best-seller. With a spacious second row that features two captain seats with retractable armrests, as well as a third row that could accommodate regular-sized adults, the Model Y L is a true family hauler. Combined with its starting price of $47,566 before options, the extended wheelbase all-electric crossover SUV does seem to have the makings of a best-seller.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tesla Model Y L was able to sell 8,221 units domestically in
