Tesla Motors has chosen Shanghai for the global debut of its Model Y L.

The newly unveiled Tesla Motors Model Y L marks the first appearance of this vehicle and represents the first 6-seat configuration in the Model Y series, emphasizing an "all-round driving and riding" experience. Tesla Motors' decision to hold the Model Y L global premiere in China, specifically in Shanghai, demonstrates confidence in the Chinese market. To capitalize on the "Golden September, Silver October" market opportunity, the Model Y L adopts a launch-and-sell strategy, with pricing starting from 339,000 yuan.

German automaker Audi has also introduced new models. The company's first mass-production vehicle featuring Audi lettering as its logo, the E5 Sportback, officially debuted in Shanghai. Four different configuration variants simultaneously launched pre-sales, with pricing starting from 235,900 yuan. The E5 Sportback is manufactured at SAIC Audi's smart manufacturing base in Anting, Jiading, representing a fully electric vehicle and an important milestone in Audi's deepened electrification strategy for the Chinese market.
