Elon Musk says Tesla might never bring its new ‘Model YL’, a new six-seat variant of the Model Y launched in China this week, to the US, and the reason for this is ridiculous. He thinks Tesla won’t need it because of, you guessed it: autonomy.

Tesla's Model Y L is "coming soon", the electric car company said on Chinese social media platform Weibo on Monday, having previously registered plans to introduce the new model in China.

Tesla posted a video showing the three-row Model Y L on its Weibo feed. The vehicle has powered armrests, a new logo badge, and a black headliner.
