Reuters today quoted two people familiar with the matter as saying that Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) plans to start producing a 6-seater Model Y in China from the end of 2025, echoing last week's rumors。.

According to reports, an unnamed person familiar with the matter said that Tesla has asked suppliers to prepare for double-digit growth in Model Y production at the Shanghai plant.。

It is unclear how Tesla will boost output at the plant, which is awaiting approval to expand on 70 hectares (172 acres) of former farmland, the report said.。

Driven by the update policy, Tesla's Model 3 deliveries at home and abroad increased 6% year-on-year from January to June, according to the report.。

As Reuters previously reported, Tesla is improving the Model Y under a program called Juniper.。Another person familiar with the matter said the model would have five seats and would be launched in early 2025, rather than this year as originally planned.。

Reuters pointed out that the addition of six-seater models highlights the pressure from domestic competitors in China, while in the United States, Tesla has prioritized the development of autonomous driving technology and robotic taxis.。

Those rivals have launched at least four Model Y competitors this year, including the Onvo L60 and Zeekr (NYSE: ZK) 7X from NIO (NYSE: NIO).。

Reuters quoted a person familiar with the matter as saying that Tesla sells 7-seater Model Y in the United States, but the narrow third row of seats will make it unpopular in China。

An hour after the Daily Economic News report was published, the Shanghai Securities News quoted Tesla sources as saying that the Shanghai plant was already producing seven Model Ys.。The person did not comment on the rest of the country, the Business Daily reported.。

另一家当地媒体 LatePost 当天晚些时候报道称，特斯拉计划明年推出并交付 Model Y 的两个更新版本，其中包括内部代号为 Juniper 的 5 座版本，预计将于 2019 年开始交付。明年第一季度。

The other, a 7-seat version of the Model Y, is expected to begin delivery in the fourth quarter of 2025, LatePost reported.。

Tesla demonstrated the flexibility of its 7-seater when it launched the Model Y in March 2019。Tesla won't start offering an additional seven-seat option in the U.S. market until 2021.。

Currently, only the four-wheel drive, dual-motor Model Y Long Range in the United States supports the 7-seat version option, which requires consumers to pay an additional $2,000。
