"In short, this is not the same car as the China-only Model Y L, which has six seats and an additional seven inches of wheelbase compared to the standard model. That car is just three inches shorter than the Model X, and it has a somewhat usable third row, as our man Kevin Williams found out in China last year."
"Instead, Tesla decided to simply put an extra pair of seats in the trunk of the regular U.S.-spec Model Y, making said seats unusable if you happen to be older than five. It's the same move that Tesla made with the pre-facelift Model Y, and that didn't last very long. Multiple Tesla fans didn't hold back and replied to the company's post on X that announced the launch of the new Model Y version."
"The seven-seat option is now available for $2,500 only in the United States and only if you go for the Premium All-Wheel Drive trim, which starts from $48,990. That brings the total bill to $53,130 after factoring in the destination and order fees. This is not the only change that Tesla made to the Model Y stateside, though. The company silently updated its online configurator a couple of hours ago,"
Tesla reintroduced a seven-seat option for the U.S. Model Y at a $2,500 cost, available only on the Premium All-Wheel Drive trim. The option adds an extra pair of seats in the trunk of the regular U.S.-spec Model Y, with those seats effectively usable only by very small children. The U.S. seven-seat layout differs from the China-only Model Y L, which has six seats and an extended seven-inch wheelbase providing a more usable third row. The configurator now shows matte black exterior badging on all trims, replacing previous chrome.
