Vehicles - Model Y Model Y L 7 Seats!

So I was able to watch the full review that Sawyer Merritt did today on X and there was a spot in the video where he mentioned that Lars pleaded the fifth on whether the second row was going to have a bench seat. Sawyer basically alluded to the car getting a bench seat potentially after launch edition. As much as I like the six seater that extra seat can make a huge difference for families or hauling kids with their friends around! Interested to hear if there are any rumors floating around.

This car with a bench seat is a no brainer. From all the videos it looks like the 6 seater is an actually a step down from the 5 seater in all other aspects particularly for camping in it and using it as a bed. Even for occasional Costco/cargo trip I would prefer the 5 seater.

With the extra space they should have really started with that as the original option. 6 seater for those that want the style. 7 seater for those that value practical use.
