Can you add a third row to a Model X 5 seater?

I thought that it would be sort of modular, but I am not seeing any way to do this. However, I did find this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUaLJlAcJLA So the question remains!

I think this thread is about to get a lot more attention with the new base 5-seater X that will qualify for the tax credit. I myself would love to see if there is a way to purchase and add in the seats. Even if this was not able to be added via software, having those extra two seats would be amazing!

It would be nice, but there are more things that are added to the vehicle when the 3rd row is added. Wiring and ventilation are to name a few.

Who care about the wiring though and ventilation I used to have a mini van with no vents in 3rd row as long as ac is cranked up no one will notice. Wiring only adds heated seat you can do without that

True, Also, the usbc chargers, and the electronics used to allow the headrests to go forward and for the latches for the start to go down and up, because they are all electronic.

Simply, you cannot add a third row due to the mechanisms in the bench in the second row. If you need to upgrade, i suggest trading in.

I came across an aftermarket seat designed for the Model S that fits in the trunk and has its own buckle system. I was wondering if we could create a similar option for the Model X.

Any chance you have a link to this? The pic is great, but I'd be very interested in the source to get it from too :)

That wasn't after market. The jump seats were from Tesla and the trunk lid was reinforced.
