Tesla Model Y 7 Seater Review... Will an Adult Fit?

[@jamesthecryptonian3725]

Thank you for telling me what that arm rest is for. I was so confused at first.

[@Gjeebs]

I’m here to help

[@Nico_6967]

I was also confused, thanks for explaining the armrest

[@charlest116]

I’m just thankful you explained that you had explained what an armrest was for

[@kevinszhere1]

What’s an arm rest? Where do he explain that in the video? I need to know, omg I’ll never know😭

[@gregb7353]

Nothing but pure information.

[@PlaidDad]

Can’t say I’ve ever heard someone say that mud flaps look amazing. Now I have, life is complete now.

[@swongsonvanee]

I have, back in the 80s...

[@bac3phi]

This is best and unbiased review of the 7 seater. Most KZbinrs rant about not fitting a huge person in the 3rd row :) The 3rd row is clearly made for smaller people under 5'5". Thanks for your review. Thumbs up!

[@Gjeebs]

Thank you!

[@TecnamTwin]

I'm 5'7" and fit just fine back there. However, I do have a shorter torso so... Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised by the usability of the third row for average to smaller sizes adults. If you're huge, don't sit back there!

[@Superman-xr1oh]

The rants are warranted. It's too small for anything other than a child and only for short trips. Also, no air vents back there either.

[@matt1981m]

The lid in the trunk is shaped like that so when it is flipped with it "raised", and you put down the 2nd & 3rd row seats, it is level

[@iamnid]

Just picked up my red 5 seater Model Y on Saturday - thanks for all the videos before I got mine.

[@ILSDeen]

Just picked up mine also! 3/20/2021. Black/black MYP.

[@edwcory]

Yes, you can physically fit for a short distance, but it’s a non starter for this 5 person household. Took one for a test drive a few weeks back and the electronic latches to move the second row seat just sealed the deal (didn’t work great).

[@solmuziqwiliams9119]

I have the Blue Tesla Model Y LR. I’ve put 22’s on it! It looks AWESOME. I lost about 24 miles of range and I’m Ohk w/that! The ride is AWESOME to me! It has a real sporty ride

[@tehmerms]

Used your referral today, pretty excited. One of your latest videos with the other guy's white model Y sealed the deal on my colour choice (white on white). Enjoy the channel, keep it up.

Great find on the reversible trunk lid...I had no idea it did that until I saw your review. Great video. The red looks SO good!

OK WHY would you want a reversible trunk lid? What's the benefit I'm not deducing?

Thank you! Plenty of content coming

[@CoopsXKE]

I picked up my new 5 seat MYLR last Friday. It has the new console and other recent upgrades. No new headlights but honestly the ones I have are amazing. I spent considerable time inspecting the car before taking delivery. The midnight silver paint is perfect. Zero problems with the paint . Fitting and specs of body panels also fantastic. I really couldn’t find anything to call out. The car is getting PPF and Ceramic as I write this. Doing calipers (yellow) and window tint next week. I’ve only driven the car 100 miles but so far it’s flawless. Tesla is making real progress on QC and overall quality. I’m impressed! So happy the car does so well in real world driving in snow and weather. Thanks for dropping this video, it is quite good.

[@alexmejia1499]

Thank you for being specific about the size of the person who would be comfortable in that back row. Most folks have said it would be good for 'younger children', but if your younger kiddo is a 5'9" 12 year old, then they're the same size as an average adult. Our family of 6 is all under 5'7" so knowing that we'd all fit 'comfortably' in that back row has been a game changer. For comparison sake, it may be good to have a 5' and 6' person sit in that back row so we can see the difference? Thanks again!

[@ghuber171]

Picking up our new model Y 7 seater Saturday in Scottsdale! Can’t wait... we actually have a family of 7 😳😳

[@beyerch]

I hope it is a family of 7 short people because that looks horrible tight. Notice that the second seat in the back had ZERO leg room because the 2nd row was at a reasonable distance from the 1st..... Yikes.

OK Y’all! So I got to check the 3rd row out myself. This so far has been one of the most accurate reviews of Tesla’s 3rd row! Yes it’s smaller but that’s the point.

[@beyerch]

OMG that 2nd & 3rd row leg room is horrible. So glad we went with the Model X. Good lord.

I didnt notice about the arm rest. Not sure if anyone notice as well until you brought it up.. Hilarious though! Thank you for that I needed that. God bless!

[@22tbond]

I really hope they do end up making a 3D Maxpider mat for the 7 seater. For the 3rd row and the trunk would be nice. Not sure if mats would fit in the 3rd row. I have those mats in my Model 3 and they are by far the best I’ve ever owned. Thanks for making this video. Can’t wait to get my 7 seater Y. I’m holding out a little longer to see if Tesla gets the federal tax credit back. 🤞🏼

Dude, I love u ahahah, your explanation of the armrest is lighting my life. :)

[@TedKidd]

I just completed a 13-day 4800 mile road trip from upstate New York to Texas, Florida, and back in my standard range model Y. For those who are range concerned, here are my observations: There are a few charging deserts along the Gulf Coast where the short range impacted the decisions about where we were going to go. And to be fair, that may be due to infrastructure gaps as much as range on the car. I have an early $2,500 reservation on a long range Y that I didn't exercise because after driving it I was thinking I might rather have the performance, the LRY is a fair amount slower than my long range 3, and feels a little bit heavy. Anyway, I'm amazed by how great this car is for 40k. You're probably only going to be slightly aware of its shortcomings, and then only on a long roadtrip. The car is super efficient and way over cautious with its charging advice, which means that you can save 10 or 15 minutes at superchargers by leaving before the car says you can. We were also able to ignore the "stay under 75 mph to reach your destination" warnings, at least when they came with more than 50% charge left. My order of "things missed" 48 amp ac charging would be nice. Faster supercharging. Lane change. (Not putting fsd on this car) Stop lights. Last, more range.

[@GOVAUS1]

Thanks. There have been too much unfounded bitching about MY 3rd row. Kids fit fine. Not worse than pretty much any other car unless Taohe like.

Great video! Could you make a video comparing trunk dimensions for both 5 and 7 seat versions for all the possibilities of folding or not the different rear seats, and when moving forward and backward the middle seat of the 7 seat in a seat up position compared with the 5 seat? (Basically, when the 2 back rear seats are folded, how much trunk is lost for the 7 seat version compared to the 5 seats)

[@cisco9027]

I have to ask someone like you who I know will give me a honest answer would you buy the performance or the long range if range wasn’t a issue.

[@gregb7353]

I'll throw in as a random opinion. I wouldn't for the Model Y. The range @85mph of the AWD is short enough I wouldn't go any shorter. The Model Y really needs another 10kW to get it to EPA 400 miles. At highway speed it loses a lot more range than the Model 3 and this would get it to the ~300 actual mile range it needs to be at for long distance trips.

[@Gjeebs]

If range wasn’t different I would go performance because it’s faster but it’s not totally necessary
