Tesla Model Y Seven-Seater Deliveries Kick Off: Third Row Tight Squeeze + Essential Accessories
Exciting news for Tesla fans! Deliveries of the Model Y seven-seater have officially begun in the US. This marks one of the first times we've seen this configuration stateside, and it's packed with some surprises—including a feature that's also making its way to the refreshed Model Y seven-seater.
The Third Row Reality: Functional but Cramped
I've been talking about the seven-seater's third row for a while now. On paper, it's a great addition for families needing extra seats. But in reality? It's extremely tight.
Check out these real-world photos shared by JWIC from Tesla Motors Club (shoutout for posting them in the delivery section!):
- A person sitting in the back with their knees jammed against the front seat.
- Even with the third row folded, space for a kid's seat or booster is minimal.
I wouldn't recommend putting anyone back there for long trips—it's just not comfortable. Fine for short hops with small kids, maybe, but adults? No thanks.
Surprise Upgrade: The 16-Inch Screen
Here's the hidden gem: the seven-seater now includes the 16-inch rear passenger screen from the refreshed Model Y. That's a huge win for entertainment and usability in the back rows!
Funny Delivery Story
One owner shared a hilarious quote: "What's funny is that the delivery adviser didn't realize it was a seven-seater till he opened the trunk and as he was giving us a walk around."
Tesla delivery specialists handle tons of cars daily, so mix-ups happen. But it's a reminder to double-check your config!
