Tesla launches Model Y L
3-row, 6-seat long wheelbase
Tesla today opened orders for Model Y Long Wheelbase in the US and Puerto Rico — a stretched, three-row, six-seat Y with captain's chairs, a proper third row, and a big jump in interior space. 0–60 in 4.4 seconds and 325 miles of range.
FSD v14 Lite starts rolling out to HW3 owners
Tesla released firmware 2026.20.5.1 today, bringing FSD (Supervised) v14 Lite to HW3 Model 3 and Model Y in the US — the long-promised distillation of the HW4 v14 stack down onto seven-year-old hardware. For HW3 owners in Ohio who've been waiting since the v13 freeze, this is the biggest software jump in years.
