Thank you for the video and seating arrangement perspective! I just placed my Model Y order (with the third row option) using your referral link, thanks so much!

got it, 3rd row seat is perfect for young kids not teens or adults

[@nszczepanski1]

TESLA should hire you to do this. No other video showed the space liek this video does. Well done!

[@kateschwanke]

Aw thank you! Wow that would be awesome 😎

[@cay91]

I agree!

[@blackdonte24]

You're so right!! I've watched so many videos looking for this exact display of space! Shout out Kate!

[@grabone6080]

Great but I wish you showed the trunk space a bit more detailed..

[@pumadrive4125]

Kate, thank you for this vidoe which demos how useful the 3 row can be! I have been debating back and forth if I should get the 3rd row option. Too many people telling me the 3rd row is useless only for little kids. However, your NO NONSENSE video actually showed kids, your teen and an adult sitting in the 3rd row seat! Thank you! There is no other website that does this with real live humans! You have a very beautiful family Kate! Your kids are SO co-operative! If my kids actually agreed to do something like this, they would be frowning the whole time!!! Keep up the great work! Hope your channel grows to the next milestone!

[@kateschwanke]

Aw thank you so much for all the wonderful, positive feedback! I am so happy to hear our video was helpful for you!

[@KeemReviewz]

This is THE most thorough video i've ever seen for the 7 seater. I own a 7 seater and was wondering how we were going to use the 3rd row when family is in town, now I have ideas! Thank you

[@kateschwanke]

You’re welcome!! I’m so happy to hear it was a helpful video for you!

[@jlpeng9036]

thank you so much for this video! my wife and i are hesitating between 5 or 7 seats model Y and we have 2 kids but the grandparents visit us occasionally. initially we were worrying if the 3rd row don't have any legroom for the kids. but watching your video we now clearly see how it actually looks like, and kids seem fine in the back (not to mention our kids are even smaller, 2 yrs and 6 yrs). thank you Kate

[@kateschwanke]

You’re so welcome! I am glad my video was helpful. We loooove our Model Y 3 row!

[@whez-mureeodlum5494]

[@MalluStyleMultiMedia]

super..one of the best videos..informational...and cute...thanks

[@hungdoan7303]

Thank you so much for taking the time to make the video. Great demonstration. I was debating, but after this video, i am getting the 7 seat option. Rather having the option, and fold it down when not using. It is nice to have it during emergency

[@kateschwanke]

You’re so very welcome! And I totally agree. It has come in handy for us loads of times!

[@marcusfeldphoto]

This is the first time I see the 7 seater... Really nice how thoughtful this concept is! And especially that you still have space in the trunk with a full occupation... Thanks for this insight 😊

[@kateschwanke]

I’m glad it was helpful for you! 😊

[@marcusfeldphoto]

@@kateschwanke Very much so! If you fold the two back rows over, is that a flat surface?

[@kateschwanke]

Yes!!! SO much space in there! I even transported a desk in there a few weeks ago. It was surprisingly roomy

[@NileshPatil-lm5kk]

@@kateschwankeif we use all 7 seats does it still have space to keep stroller and few bags like carry on bags in trunk ?

[@trishabrady1769]

I loved your video. I don't want an SUV, but I need extra space 2 days a week for a carpool. This is perfect.

[@kateschwanke]

Thank you! Glad it was helpful!

[@JERZEEHOTBOY]

Wow great video! Thank you! We have a family of 7 this helped alot with deciding!

[@C_W98]

This is such a perfect video showing how well an actual family can fit in this vehicle. Thanks for the great video!

[@kateschwanke]

So happy it was helpful!

[@AyoKilla]

The is the exact video I have been looking for before I order mine thank you.

[@kateschwanke]

I’m so glad you found my video and found it helpful too!

[@Dharrol604]

Amazing vid. I ordered a MY5 but will be changing it to a 7

[@yoursNK]

excellent video from what I could get from video it seems the 7 seater is best suited and good only for short trips and kids and for those rare circumstances where extra passengers need to ride along

[@pumadrive4125]

exactly! I agree. BUT, this is exactly how many people can use it - for short city driving distances that require the occasional 6th or 7th passenger. For eample, we are a family of 4, but one time I took my 2 neices to the movies, we could easily fit 6 for the short ride to the theatre and back. It's for purposes like this that the 3rd row becomes a very HANDY option

[@TopicTech]

This was a great demonstration. Thank you so much for making this.

[@kateschwanke]

Thank you! I’m happy it was helpful!

[@theticoboy]

I love our MY 7 seater. I have 5 kids ages 15 to 1.5 years. It works because my wife is short (5’1). We move her all the way and she says it is still comfy. We have have rear facing booster behind her. To teens also in the middle. 10 year old and 8 year old in 3rd row. Plus a stroller in the trunk. It is a little tight in 3rd row. Once car seats is no longer rear facing then it’ll be much better. I’m 6’0 but skinny. So I have to move my chair up a little more too. But I’m still comfy. So far so good!

[@kateschwanke]

That’s wonderful!! Yes, once the carseat is no longer rear-facing, it should really help!

[@yangfanghao]

Be honestly, you might need a minivan

[@theticoboy]

@@yangfanghao - I do have a minivan too.

[@vegasbaby3669]

Very much appreciate this. This is exactly what I needed to know regarding the 7 seat configuration of the Tesla Model Y

[@CandyApple839]

I really appreciate this video and the time it must have taken to make.

[@kateschwanke]

Thank you so much! I am so happy to hear it was helpful for you!

[@BobsUp83]

In Europe we are used to Fiat 500, which is pretty common also for families. The legroom on the 3rd row on the model Y is actually better than the one on the 2nd row of the fiat 500...I'd definitely go for it!

[@julieshrock4392]

Great demonstrations! I'm definitely all about a Tesla minivan or SUV with captain chairs in the middle. I'm sure they are already thinking one up for the future. This one is perfect for kiddos in the far back though, and I'm sure it is super fun to drive.🎉

[@kateschwanke]

Thank you! Yes I would be very interested in a true SUV from Tesla 😍 My boys are only going to get bigger and we will need the space down the road lol!

[@whateverreviews3965]

Uhmm, there is one actually called Model X 😂 if you can afford it 😢

[@kateschwanke]

@@whateverreviews3965 right? It's why I don't even consider it lol! Maybe someday though? A girl can dream!

[@volcalstone]

Thanks for the video but I was hoping to see what the headroom would be like in the 3rd row for smaller adults with the trunk closed.

[@ignaciosanchezofficial]

Bad.

[@coreyok123]

Doesn't look like the hatch would have room to shut with the 5'2" passenger in the 3rd row

[@yunta_]

Best video ever!!!!!!!! Ty.

[@kateschwanke]

You're so welcome!

[@jonthewirelessguy]

Great video thank you! Curious if you could close the hatch Kate when you were in the third row?

[@esthersfaith]

Exactly what I needed to know. It would probably work for my family for the next 5ish years. 3 growing boys close in age, but we are all small. Tesla really needs a mini van option 😢

[@kateschwanke]

I agree! They need something more kid friendly, and not the X, unless they change the doors lol!

[@angeljlago]

Good demo! Aiight, Tesla it is.

[@beardedjebediah4186]

Excellent video showing all the options for a 7 seater!

[@badboytilltheend13]

Good video. While you were sitting in the 3rd row, your head was sticking out (4:55) so if you close the rear door, will the glass hit your head?

[@YourMainChef]

Great video, all my questions have been answered

[@kateschwanke]

Awesome to hear! Thank you for watching 🤗

[@kickboxer8173]

this is great demo. if i had seen this earlier i would have bought the 7 seater

[@lauravarona6717]

Me gusta el Model Y 👌

[@kacatley9258]

Such a nice vid and cute family.

[@datazndood]

Going on Turo for a 7 seater and this helps give an idea as we will have 3 baby seats and four adults. Forgot to factor in stroller space and cargo space as a deal maker/breaker. It looks like only a couple of duffles will fit once seats are set to 7 occupants. Probably will need a gas guzzling SUV unfortunately. Nice job though guys!

[@kateschwanke]

Possibly! Definitely try the Turo thing though, we did that before making our decision too!

[@luiggi0102]

I had a model x for 2 week while my model 3 was at the shop and honestly the space is very similar . That’s probably why tesla don’t have the third row model Y on display at the store.

[@Omar_313_]

Have the exact same car lol we love it

[@kateschwanke]

It’s been such a great car!

[@eltigreplacoso2188]

Great video! This will definitely make up our mind on which model Y to buy. Very informative. My wife is going to love her new gift.

[@kateschwanke]

Aw I am sure she will! I love mine 😍

[@balkey312]

excellent video thank you

[@MaestroWenarto]

very well done, I am single and accidentally ordered the seven seater, oh well.....

[@garrettthomas3063]

I would just like to mention that while Kate was in the back, her head looked like it would have been hit by the trunk door when closed. Saw that happen on a different video

[@seanngo783]

This was very helpful

[@ElectrifiedVeteran]

Family of 5 with 3 car seats… went Rivian. Glad I did.

[@AzizIzgin]

When seated an adult in the third row, are there adjustments for second row so legroom gets larger for passengers in third row? Also can you convert your height into centimeters?😅 Awesomely made video!

[@tearsofglass88]

Which trunk mats are you using. Like how they have individual for the third row so you can have a trunk mat covered in 6 seat configuration.

[@imanasri9950]

i love this video! 👍

[@kateschwanke]

Thank you!

[@bigpapanacho4033]

Nice. This will help me convince my wife.

Thank you so much for your review, almost same family situation in our house.~

[@joececcgon]

[@infinity7384]

Kate, really speechless video

[@nervegrind3r]

How much cargo space do you have when using 3rd for? Looks kind of small after third row is used, thanks

[@kateschwanke]

@@nervegrind3r Hi! It’s pretty small back there when the 3rd row is up, however, because of the sub trunk I feel like it helps make up for that!

[@theclutch19]

Kate, when you sat in the 3rd row, can the seat in front of you move forwards a bit more? Or was what you showed already the most legroom for you in the 3rd row? I.e. - for your height, I'd love to see you put the driver's seat to your setting, sit in the 2nd row moved forward as much as possible for you, and then sit in the 3rd row.

[@kateschwanke]

If I remember right, the second row was not all the way forward when I was in the 3rd row 🤔 I recently had my 12 year old in the 3rd row with the second row all the way up and he had plenty of room back there!

[@benmandakh1008]

Great video and Lovely family! I really needed this kind of video to see if we 5 fits with a visitor. Love it, thank you so much!

[@PopsGG]

Great video! I like how you can see the family divided by genes of thin lips (from dad) and full lips (from mom). My family has a similar split, but for us its in the eye brows lol.

[@kateschwanke]

[@patricks8364]

I am concerned about the head room in the 3rd row. Looks like passenger in the 3rd row cannot be taller than 5 ft.

[@blonde14sure]

I'm 5'6 (longer legs than torso) I was able to sit in the 3rd row, but my head was touching glass. Doable yes, practical, not for me

[@swaroop40]

This video could be used to teach permutation and combination. Hehe! Good work.

[@debdattamukherjee717]

best demo video❤

[@kateschwanke]

Thank you!!

[@Speesword]

Love the video!! This was really helpful in determining how much legroom is back there. We were thinking of swapping out our model 3 for a model y and were wondering if we should buy a seven seater. Do you think someone around 5' 3" would be able to sit back there comfortably for around 13 hours?

[@kateschwanke]

So glad you loved the video! I think it’s possible if the second row is mostly forward. Also, if you drop the middle seat in the second row it allows a little more airflow for the 3rd row. Hope that helps!

[@Speesword]

@@kateschwanke Thanks! I think we are going to buy a Model Y Performance, just because we feel like we might not get a lot of usage out of the third row, and we like the looks and speed of the performance. It helped a lot though!! 😄

[@ourhealthcarestories]

Hi, do the third row seats have ISOFIX/LATCH? Or did you attach the carseats using the belt passthrough?

[@pedroribeiro5996]

2500€ for extra seats totaly worth it 👍. From 🇵🇹

[@candacejustinellis4541]

Can you speak to if the third row configuration with one seat down impedes the access to the seatbelt clip? I saw that he was sitting back there but didn't have the belt on. In the 2021 that we looked at my child couldn't. Buckle without lifting the seat. Doesn't really work if we have a stroller in the car.

[@kateschwanke]

We have used it before where one seat is down and he didn’t have any issues buckling up. Hope that helps!

[@Sami-j3t]

I am 5,5 so how will I be able to site in the last row seats

[@gtrr3246]

Really too bad Tesla not making a version with captain chairs. We love the convenience of our Toyota Sienna with its slide doors and kids able to move in and out without us moving the seats.

[@eds464]

Great demonstration. When you were sitting in the back row do you think you could sit back there for a road trip? I understand it gets harder past 5ft7 in some other review videos.

[@kateschwanke]

Me personally, NO. Because I am claustrophobic 😅 But my son who is as tall as me is totally fine back there!

[@asdf-jo4vv]

Nice video 🎉

[@prakashqd]

I am 5.9 felt so claustrophobic in 3rd row,, my forehead is literally pointing at roof frame, if there is sudden break bam

[@lilil5353]

Are you able to put infant carseat and booster carseat on the second row and still have access to third row?

[@kateschwanke]

Yes! They are a tilt and slide seat so the booster seats and carseats can stay put

[@Tydues101]

Hey! I’ve got 3 kids one being 13 and two being 16 and in my state the 16 year olds can’t drive until 17, I want a new car and isn’t sure if the model y is too small for those 3 let me know what you think. Thanks!

[@kateschwanke]

Hi! If you are hoping to have all three in the second row, I’d say you may want to size up to something bigger, like the Model X. But if you’re planning to have one of them sit in the passenger seat and the other two in the back, you should be perfectly fine 😃

[@ismaelgomez8836]

What about a baby carrier will it fit in the second row?

[@kateschwanke]

Hi! Yes it would! There are latch anchors in the second row, and as long as you adjust the second row further back and dont sit back too far in the front seat, it can accommodate a rear facing child seat. Hope that helps!

[@GabeB5517]

How is it doing a Costco or sams club run

[@heyytiff]

Definitely better for when kids are older. With all my rear facing it'll be too inconvenient.

[@kateschwanke]

I can see how it would be a bit tight in there with rear-facing seats! But forward facing no problem 🙌🏻
