New Suspension System: The continuously variable dampers found in the Model 3 Performance are also used in the Model Y L, improving ride comfort.
New Color Option: A new Gold color option is available exclusively for the Chinese market. The Model Y L’s success in the Chinese market demonstrates Tesla’s strategy of adapting to local trends and staying competitive in the market.

This is attributed to production costs in the US and Tesla’s tendency to simplify existing models rather than adding new options.
