Barely a year into its release in the Philippine market, the three-row Tesla Model Y L is already receiving a minor update in the form of a performance boost.
To be precise, the 2027 Tesla Model Y L benefits from a quicker 0-100 kph time of just 4.5 seconds, which is half a second quicker than before. For reference, the previous Model Y L does the 0-100 kph dash in just 5 seconds.
Though Tesla Philippines didn’t reveal how the performance boost was achieved, a deeper search yields a news report from Sina that states that based on filings with the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) the Model Y L gets a new “TL2” front electric motor, which produces 236 horsepower versus the previous motor that produces 190 horsepower. The publication also says that the new electric motor is more powerful, but it is also more energy efficient as well.
Despite the quicker performance, the 681-kilometer WLTP-rated range is also retained. What’s also retained is its price tag, which is still at P2,849,000.
The updated Tesla Model Y L can be viewed at the Tesla BGC Experience Center. For those living in North Luzon, you’ll probably be happy to find out that customers in this region can visit SM City Clark from today until October 18 to reserve and explore the new Model Y L and other Tesla models. Additionally, customers who make a reservation during the Tesla activation at SM City Clark may receive up to 5,000 kilometers worth of Supercharging credits.
The SM City Clark activation also coincides with the launch of the new Tesla Destination Charging station at SM City Clark, with four charging slots located at the North Parking. These Destination Charging stations are capable of up to 11 kW of AC output. Customers in the North can already benefit from the support of a Tesla Accredited Body Shop at LAUS Auto Service Center. Interested customers may reserve a test drive through this link: Tesla Experience at SM City Clark.
