I have a 7-Seater and it's well worth it with the current pricing ($1K add-on). You gain adjustability in the second row and you have a backup plan for the occasional 6-person trip. The only flaw that really irked me, was that you have to be careful when putting the third row in the upright position. We noticed our seat was bent a little, just like Myk's. It's clearly a design flaw. There's a good fix online--zip tie the back of the third row to the internals. Janky...but effective.
In the 5 seater, you can recline the back seats a bit by depressing the release on the seat and pushing back on the seat. There are two positions when in the seat configuration.
My friends and I recently had a Model Y as a Rideshare and we were pleasantly surprised it was a 7-seater. Yeah, the cargo space is minimal but there is always the frunk if it's a short trip with the 7 passengers. The point is the transportation possibility which is a win for Tesla. I would say it is worth it hopefully the new Juniper version will have this option. Thanks for the review/video 😊
I think to stop the back from peeling back on the third row, you are supposed to flip the hidden storage cover upside down before raising the third row FYI.
So my question is: is there any downside to the 7 seater? If u have back seats down it’s like the 5 seater but u have more options and value. Also some mentioned range but I just looked on Tesla inventory and epa range is exact same. So is there any negatives at all choosing the 7?
Great video! Interesting with the third row down you lose an 1” of cargo room but you gain an 1” of leg room for the 2nd row passengers. Did not know about the 3” of clearance needed for the trunk. I pickup my 7-seater soon. Delivery schedule 9/9-9/15
you dont lose 1" of cargo with the 7 seater. its just that the default seating position gives more legroom to the second row. you can move it up one click and its the same cargo room
I have a 7 seater that are barely have any leg room you have to push the seats if you want the leg room. But I have a question? The smell is sooo good isn’t on the driver seat
You shouldve double checked the cubby and maybe debunked the size difference. Or separate video where you order it and checked if it fits in your 7seater. If not, you just keep in the 5, and you've answered one more mystery for the internet
The 7 seater is basically a better version in every way. It seems there is no reason the 5 seater actually exists. Tesla should remove it and only sell the 7 seater. This will reduce manufacturing costs, because only one model is produced. Then, Tesla could even sell the 7 seater for the price of the 5 seater.
7 seater is basically useless unless you only have kids in the back two rows. You cannot even have adults in the middle row and kids in the back. There is just no legroom. If anything they should ditch the 7 and lower the price on the 5.
My wife wanted the 7 seat option but I talked her into the 5 seat. If you have that many people you need somewhere to put all their stuff on a roadtrip.
I don't think I did a video. I just sold it private party. I listed it on the local classifieds and someone someone bought it within a week of posting it.
@Myksgarage I find it difficult to get rid of the ones with the inflated pricing from 21 to 22. I need to figure out how to get rid of my 2022 model without losing so much
It’s just an aftermarket screen, kids can watch Netflix/youtube on it while we’re driving, however it doesn’t have its own data plan so we have to hotspot our phones to it
I rather choose much better mileage and larger spacious real 7 seating EV mini van of KN EV9. In 2~3 years later KN is planned to bring 10 seater. As YG entertainment of Blackpink song 🎶 How Do You Like That 🎵 comes 2 my mind. Go keep on 💕ing peace of 💩 Elon EV. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 One quote I have for you. " Dae Han Min Guk 👏👏👏👏👏🇰🇷"
Absolutely too small for adults. Small kids I think it works fine. But anyone getting it thinking it will be used like a minivan third row or something will be very disappointed

You can recline the 5 seater. While sitting in the seat, press down the seat release button near headrest and push seat back.
👍
True !!
7 seater reclines as well. Its not at the headrest, by the side.
yes, if you have more than 3 kids or grandparents want to tag along ...the 7 seater is 100% worth it. life moments
Definitely!
Thank you for sharing this. I have a 7 seater, and did not know the difference.
👍

You have 4 kids!! That’s awesome! Good for you guys!
Thank you! We are very blessed!

Yeah but that's just a pain!!
Haven't ever done this in my 7-seat Y and it's fine. No peeling like he showed.
A mini van is probably better with 4 kids. Very good, informative video.
Yeah for young kids it is
Thanks for the compare. You should have gotten in the 3 row for real life experience.
None of my kids were home, otherwise I would have had a couple of them get back there!

No negatives in my opinion

When you order the 7 seat model, do you get any upgrades to the suspension, tires etc? Your are adding more weight to the vehicle... Thanks Jeff
To my knowledge, no, there is not any other upgrades that come with the 7 seat option.
I would have liked to see the dimension from the back of the front seats to the end of the carpet with the second row folded down!
Next time! 😀
I have a 7 seater I have 4 kids under 12years old it’s works great for them
Good to hear!
Great video's, thanks.
Thanks for watching!
different size tires? cause the left one looks like much wider tires.
Yes they are much wider on the left. Staggered 21" performance wheels on the left, whereas 20" square set up on the right
Good video!
Thanks for watching!
Question
I have a 2023 Tesla Model y Long Range 5 seater Can i put extra 2 seats in the 3rd Row? Do they install if i pay them difference
I haven't heard of them retro fitting the seats after the fact
No, because your middle rows needs to be change too. 5 seaters doesn't have the sliding mechanism.
There is no retrofit kit for the seven seater, it’s not as simple as just popping in the seats.
I have a 7 seater that are barely have any leg room you have to push the seats if you want the leg room. But I have a question? The smell is sooo good isn’t on the driver seat
I don't understand the question
The 7 seater Y is not a practical vehicle and we ended up with the Rivian R1S. We do have the 5 seater Y which works well.
Does you rivian have the 3rd row seats?
R1S is more comparable to the Model X. We test drove the R1S, but it’s double the price of a Model Y. Model Y is an outstanding buy.
You shouldve double checked the cubby and maybe debunked the size difference. Or separate video where you order it and checked if it fits in your 7seater. If not, you just keep in the 5, and you've answered one more mystery for the internet
Good suggestion
Hi there, thank you for this comparison. Do you lose any vertical dimension in the rear cargo area with the 7 seater vs the 5 seater?
It doesn't appear to be any less
The 7 seater is basically a better version in every way. It seems there is no reason the 5 seater actually exists. Tesla should remove it and only sell the 7 seater. This will reduce manufacturing costs, because only one model is produced. Then, Tesla could even sell the 7 seater for the price of the 5 seater.
Good suggestion!
supposedly better mileage since 2 less heavy seats installed. Also gain an additional hidden storage where the 3rd row seats are.
7 seater is basically useless unless you only have kids in the back two rows. You cannot even have adults in the middle row and kids in the back. There is just no legroom. If anything they should ditch the 7 and lower the price on the 5.
Insurance cost is different, 5 seater should pay lower
There is a seat back tilt option in 5 seater configuration in MY 2024
I’ll have to look into that
In my opinion, the rear seats aren't used as much as the cargo room is.
Yeah good point
My wife wanted the 7 seat option but I talked her into the 5 seat. If you have that many people you need somewhere to put all their stuff on a roadtrip.
I have the new model y with three rows so I can have more people
You like it?
How did you sell your 2022 Model Y? Did you do a video?
I don't think I did a video. I just sold it private party. I listed it on the local classifieds and someone someone bought it within a week of posting it.
@Myksgarage I find it difficult to get rid of the ones with the inflated pricing from 21 to 22. I need to figure out how to get rid of my 2022 model without losing so much
The upgrade cost for seven seater is now $2,000 FYI
If you get an upgraded paint color, it drops the price to 1000
In Sweden the 7seater option is 3k. I upgraded the paint job and it didn't make it cheaper. For 1k it would've been a nobrainer for us
It’s called a spring latch not electric latch
🤷
3 inches is a huge chunk of space 😉
Yeah it makes a difference
I see you have a screen behind center console for rear seats.. is that common with all model y.. do you have that in 2024 model y too?
It’s just an aftermarket screen, kids can watch Netflix/youtube on it while we’re driving, however it doesn’t have its own data plan so we have to hotspot our phones to it
5 seater back seat can recline
Oh yeah
I don’t even think I can order a seven seater in Canada. I didn’t even know it was an option. The model Y is just way too small for this.
Not in Canada?
Yes u can
They needed to make the model y bigger for the 3rd row. Headroom is horrible
Yeah I agree
That 7 seater is a model X
Not a model Y
No, it's a model Y
The 7 seater looks uncomfortable
For adults it is
How could you do all those measurements and not show the height from the rear floor to the headliner?
Oops!!
Dude, you didn’t even measure the cargo space with the seats down lol
On the five seater?
Не знал что Тесла бывает 7 местной...
Yeah pretty cool right!
Hit the gym bro
Yes sir
16 fckn minutes for a video on the third row seat and doesn’t even show anyone sitting on them. What a waste of time.
"Once you face your fear, nothing is ever as hard as you think."
Model Y is too small with 4 seater, forget about 6 seater
It is small, but it is nice to have the option
How obese are you?
I was looking for 7 seater but in auction it’s very rare case
7 seat is a joke
Yeah, it's not a lot of legroom
But gives you recline ability for the rear 2nd row passengers
Maybe like a 5 or 6 year old can sit back there, but that's it. Not a selling point, just another gimmick.

One quote I have for you.
" Dae Han Min Guk 👏👏👏👏👏🇰🇷"
Yeah Tesla needs a larger vehicle to more comfortably fit more people.
7 seat option is horrible, simply to small
It's useful for certain situations
Absolutely too small for adults. Small kids I think it works fine. But anyone getting it thinking it will be used like a minivan third row or something will be very disappointed
@andrewstearns9276 whom ever the person that thinks that i feel bad for them
2 overpriced cars
They are very reasonably priced used
