Tesla Unveils New Model Y: Exclusive Launch Series Features Unique Interior and Exterior, Priced from ₱2,369,000

The Tesla Model Y, recognized as the world’s best-selling vehicle with top safety ratings across four continents, is being introduced in its updated version, the New Model Y.
To celebrate this significant milestone, Tesla is launching the exclusive Launch Series of the Model Y alongside a new exterior color: Glacier Blue.
The New Model Y can now be ordered in two variants: Rear-wheel Drive and Long Range, with starting prices of ₱ 2,369,000 and ₱ 2,689,000, respectively, on Tesla’s official website: tesla.com/en_ph/modely/design#overview.
The New Model Y features a unique cyber design, highlighted by the first-ever indirect reflective body panel taillight—a single, cross-car lamp. This design draws inspiration from the Cybercab and Cybertruck, providing a symbolic and futuristic appearance for the world’s top vehicle.
The New Model Y’s Launch Series features distinctive designs, such as a unique ‘Launch Series’ badge at the rear, puddle lights, and a doorsill plate. In addition to the exclusive exterior design, the charging console and floor mat boast a special launch design with silver accents, complemented by an all-black vegan suede interior trim.
Alongside its unique and refined design, the New Model Y features a significantly quieter cabin, thanks to double-layer glass on all windows and a panoramic glass roof with silver-coated glass that minimizes UV rays and heat inside. Tesla has also added newly designed wheels and a rear diffuser to lower air resistance and optimize lift balance between the front and rear wheels. This combination enhances rear-wheel downforce, resulting in a quieter, more stable, and highly efficient experience at high speeds.
The New Model Y includes signature features from the Model 3, such as ambient lighting, ventilated front seats, and an 8-inch display for rear passengers. The rear seats have been enhanced with power recline functionality, allowing customers to quickly press a button to adjust their position or fold them down, expanding the trunk space to over 2,130 litres.
The exterior of the New Model Y has been entirely revamped, from the front bumper to the taillight, to maximize efficiency. This allows owners to achieve the most incredible range from each charge. With Tesla Supercharging, the New Model Y Long Range requires 15 minutes to gain 266 km of range, equivalent to six round trips from the Tesla Experience Centre at Uptown Parade to Quezon City.
