The Tesla Model Y L, the company’s newest family-friendly EV, launched in China in August 2025 and has already sold out through October, signaling a strong demand.
The Model Y L quickly moved its September and October allocation, Teslarati reported. More than 35,000 orders were placed on launch day alone, and new orders aren’t expected to be delivered until November.
The surge came at a critical time for Tesla as it continues to struggle with sales worldwide. In the United States, the downturn seems partly political in nature, but more competition may also be driving sales down. Its performance in European markets also slowed due to strict automated driving regulations on the continent.
By contrast, strong Model Y L demand positions Tesla more competitively in China, the world’s largest EV market.

By expanding cabin space and bringing the price down, Tesla is broadening its appeal to a wider customer base and accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles — a shift that can reduce heat-trapping transportation pollution that drives the increase in global temperature.
Because EVs produce no exhaust pollution, each driver potentially eliminates about 4.6 metric tons (more than 10,000 pounds) of polluting gases per year that a typical gas-powered passenger vehicle would have emitted, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The EPA’s latest Automotive Trends Report corroborates this environmental benefit, noting that the average heat-trapping pollution for 2023 would have been 38 g/mi higher if electric vehicles had not replaced typical cars.
As Tesla and other manufacturers make EVs more practical and affordable, they help curb pollution and reduce the amount of planet-warming gases. Moreover, they create opportunities for consumers to save money.
Consumers can reduce both their transportation expenses and environmental footprint when they make their next car an EV. Installing solar panels dramatically increases the cost savings associated with EV ownership, since charging with home solar is far cheaper than relying on public stations or the grid.
Individuals looking for local installers can use EnergySage, which makes it easy to compare quotes from vetted local installers and save up to $10,000 on solar installations. Simple steps like this pave the path for a cleaner future for all.

Reactions to the launch were mixed. Some commenters praised the Model Y L, while others expressed skepticism.
“This is demand driving supply,” one commenter wrote. “Bravo, Elon, and the fantastic Tesla team. Next up, a full-sized 3-row SUV. Please make it happen, Elon.”
“It’s really just selling OK at best,” another argued, saying the October queue shows production pacing rather than strong demand.
“This will be a huge success in the U.S.; even some of the many Elon-haters on both sides may give in and buy this one,” a third commented.
