Hey everyone, DennisCW here! If you're a Tesla enthusiast like me, you've probably been buzzing about the latest developments from Giga Shanghai. In my recent video, I dove into some exciting footage Tesla released showing the manufacturing process of the Model Y L (that's the 6-seater variant). Today, I'm breaking it all down in this blog post, plus sharing my top recommendations for Tesla accessories to enhance your ride. Let's jump in!
Tesla has officially started producing the Model Y L in Giga Shanghai, and they've shared some fascinating videos of the entire manufacturing process. From stamping and giga casting to assembly, it's a sight to behold. One standout feature is the interior setup, complete with a third-row seat. But here's the twist: based on chats I've had with folks in the China market, that third row isn't getting much love. Instead, the focus is on making the second row ultra-luxurious.
This aligns with trends in other vehicles in the region, where comfort in the back seats is a big selling point. It's cool to see Tesla adapting to local preferences while pushing out high-quality builds. If you're eyeing this model, the attention to detail in the badges, seating, and overall finish is impressive.
We've already seen the Model Y Performance roll out, which begs the question: when's the Model Y L coming? From what I can tell, it's not happening soon enough to snag that $7,500 federal tax credit. Tesla has been laser-focused on the Performance variant, so the L might take a backseat for now. That said, the production line is up and running, which is a promising sign. What are your thoughts? Drop a comment below—I'd love to hear if you're holding out for the Model Y L or going for something else in the lineup.
Congrats if you've just bought your Tesla or are about to! The excitement doesn't stop at delivery. Next up: accessories. There are tons out there, but I've narrowed it down to my top three must-haves: phone mounts, all-weather floor mats, and center consoles.
Accessories can make or break your Tesla experience, especially since some basics aren't included stock. I've got links and discount codes in the video description and on our best deals spreadsheet (check page two). Here's the breakdown:
A solid set of all-weather floor mats is essential for keeping your Tesla clean and protected. I categorize them into good, better, and best options:
Tesla doesn't include one, so this is a must-have for organization. I recommend the one from Jowua—it's in all our Teslas and keeps everything tidy.
For safe, hands-free navigation, a good phone mount is key. Again, check out Jowua options linked below—they're reliable and easy to install.
