Tesla Model Y 7 places

Tesla seems ready to reintroduce a 7-seat version of its Model Y. But at what price, for whom, and most importantly, when?

The message revealed and widely shared on X mentions a reimagined Tesla Model Y, “ready for all adventures, with a long range, up to seven seats, and space for all gear,” suggesting that the three-row configuration will soon make a comeback.

This development marks a new chapter in the tumultuous history of the Model Y with three rows of seats. The first generation, launched in 2021, offered a third row of seats at an extra cost, available only with the Long Range all-wheel drive version. It addressed the growing demand for family electric SUVs.

A Tesla Model Y “+”

But in France, it took until October 2024 to benefit from this incredibly practical option, especially for a family-oriented vehicle. Because if you hope to go on vacation with seven adults in a Model Y, you might as well give up immediately. The third row is accessible only to smaller passengers and significantly reduces trunk space. A passenger at 1.75m finds their knees pressed against their chin and their head tilted to avoid hitting the back window. However, for two children, it’s absolutely perfect! So while it’s a great supplementary solution, it remains… a supplementary solution.

This 7-seat version is expected to be available by the end of 2025. It is currently charged at 2,500 euros on the older model and is only offered on the Long Range All-Wheel Drive version. A small investment on a car that costs over 50,000 euros and provides a real boost in terms of comfort! It remains to be seen what its updated price will be and, most importantly, which markets will be involved. Hopefully, France won’t have to wait another 3 years to enjoy it.
