Tesla Prepares New Interior Seat Layout For Model Y Juniper | Exactly What We Wanted

[@heyJohnEe]

Keep in mind that a 6-seat layout might remove the option to fold flat and turn your Model Y into a nice camper vehicle, so that might be the biggest downside similar to the Model X

[@thefilmpoets]

How does removing the 2nd row middle seat magically add legroom to the third row?

[@heyJohnEe]

guys don’t sit cross legged, we spread. Spreading reduces the amount of forward knee room needed to sit comfortably. Spreading without touching knees with the person sitting next to you is great. Removing the middle seat from the 2nd and 3rd row allows everyone to spread and sit comfortably. I’m speaking nonsense :)

[@thefilmpoets]

@@heyJohnEe yea you can maybe spread one leg thats on the inside, what about the other? Makes no sense.

[@heyJohnEe]

@thefilmpoets they leave a decent gap and padding on the outside leg, check the model X 6 seater it’s the same idea

[@heyJohnEe]

A new 7-seat Model Y Juniper is also in the works and already being tested in the US, but would you rather pick that over the more spacious 6-seater version?

[@carpetsushi24]

I’d take a four seater if they’d make it haha

[@ronwinn879]

We would like to see a 6 seater with a longer wheel base. Would like to see a “Model X” size Model Y. As we say in Texas, may be time to put the Model X out to pasture (discontinue - for a more streamlined mass produced larger Model Y).

[@ABa-os6wm]

Larger is not better.

[@heyJohnEe]

@@carpetsushi24 haha i wonder how the layout would look like, an empty space in between the rear seats, or 3 front seat and 1 rear seat hmmm

[@heyJohnEe]

@@ronwinn879 yeah I like that idea, a larger model Y similar to the Model X

[@Aarav_Vispute]

HYPEEEEEEE FOR THE NEW MODEL Y 🎉🎉🎉

[@heyJohnEe]

Hyped!!

[@dodcvt]

7 seater is best for me.

[@heyJohnEe]

Does the rear feel a bit cramped? Hopefully they can increase the space then the 7 seater would be perfect 👌

[@RickyLourenco]

if the front seats cant be moved foward, and 3rd row cant be moved back, what difference does it make if you put 3 or 2 seats in the middle row wrt legroom?

[@heyJohnEe]

It does move forward and back but not enough to make a major difference for adults sitting in the back that are cramped up together. But having only 2 larger seats in the back 3rd row should accommodate that. Leg wise not sure if there will be more legroom

[@thefilmpoets]

@@heyJohnEe The problem for adults is headroom, the swooping glass on the hatchback hits my head in the 3rd row and I'm 5'7". Dangerous too, feels like I would break my neck if there's an accident.

[@Steve-yq5fh]

I would love a 6 seater Model X seat layout but in the Model Y. Something where you can walk into the back row.

[@heyJohnEe]

That would be perfect yeah

[@hungly9776]

We had the 6-seater Model X. The captain seats while very comfortable CANNOT fold flat for extra carrying space and for camping mode. We won't get 6-seater if it is the same thing in the Y.

[@ag4eng]

Tesla should make an MPV on the Y platform.

[@heyJohnEe]

Nothing is out of the question, maybe one day yeah

[@jasoncole3385]

I want to know why it's such a big thing because of one strip of ambient lighting and a light bar in the front and back ?? LOL That's something that so many cars have that and more.LOL I'm looking for the mileage that's going to make the difference for me because if not I'm getting the new ev6 it looks amazing Tesla is like an iPhone great technology little upgrades and looks Every year

[@skylerskyler2144]

Tesla is only for people who want the full self driving. I have it and version 13 is legit.

[@heyJohnEe]

Following the footsteps of the best, and it seems to be working well. Tesla could make giant leaps but it wouldn’t leave much left for next year

[@sinoevc]

This car is simply too handsome

[@heyJohnEe]

yup! we don't know exactly what it look like just yet but i'm certain it will be handsome indeed

[@tysonfinn1470]

Im so hype i let poo fall out

[@heyJohnEe]

yummy

[@rajeshpaudel5616]

Great

[@heyJohnEe]

👍

[@kevinn1158]

I hope Canadians and Europeans vote with their wallets and refuse to buy a Tesla. Having Elon meddling in our political system is obnoxious. In fact, if I was in gov't, I'd pull rebates from Tesla.

Nothing like aesthetic over safety

[@heyJohnEe]

We can have both, right? :)

[@johnshorba]

@@heyJohnEe Not when you remove the stalks and turn signals. Your going to have people just not use them

​@johnshorba Not true, it is very nice after you get normal to it.

[@johnshorba]

@ nope, not when you are in a middle of a turn and have to switch back over. Not practical

[@1001Balance]

Didn’t you read the news. Model Y has been postponed indefinitely after the disappointing sales in Q3 and Q4z

[@heyJohnEe]

dang i missed that

[@alfiealfiefz5382]

Where can I find this news?

[@hadtobe4502]

"Interior seat layout" - Like shuffling the chairs on the Titanic. Not sure when you say "removing the UNNECESSARY parts" like the turn signals. I think they ARE necessary as many people point out which has also stopped their purchase of this car. To me, what Musk pockets in very minor savings from stalks, is massively lost in fallen sales.

[@christianolsen9781]

Enough with the stalks.. once you learn it is an upgrade.

[@heyJohnEe]

Everyone has preferences, I originally hated the idea but as I've gotten use to it and I feel the old stalks are unnecessary especially when FSD unsupervised is imminent. Also maybe its because where I live we don't have many roundabouts or even required to signal in and out of it, but i do feel for European owners

[@pgwar22]

I prefer driving my wife's stockless Model X over my Model y with stocks. You get used to it

[@hadtobe4502]

@@pgwar22 You get used to not wearing jocks, but why would you just because someone stops selling them. You would shop elsewhere.

[@Anthony-z5i]

So an iPad and 2 roll buttons on the steering wheel as the only things to control everything? Scary. Safety out the window

[@heyJohnEe]

A lot is people that haven’t driven a Tesla feels the same way but after you get use to the design it’s actually great, less thing to break and need fixing

[@zotyovegh]

@@heyJohnEeI don't see how 1-2 out of 100 things breaking is worse than if 1 out of 1 does... Sure, probability is lower, but once it happens.. Still believe the lack of stalks is way worse of an issue.. Okay people in Texas with 5 lights on a 100mile trip won't have an issue, but anyone in like European countries with a billion roundabouts, simply won't buy this car only for this 1 reason. "You'll get used to it": hell no! Tried it, it sucked. Talked with owners, it's shit. Chatted with potential buyers, they opted for a byd instead, simply to indicate to the right direction rather than causing issues. This 'we are so innovative, that in a few years time not even a steering wheel will be required, there you go, here's a joystick (without any buttons)' attitude is just dumb. They lose millions on this dumb decision.. At least have an optional stalk for 1k.. 99% of buyers would get one, and 50% of them would be a new tesla customer. We can praise tesla for their innovativeness, but these things are stupid..

[@heyJohnEe]

@zotyovegh I mean you got a point, but he mentioned safety related so I just went by that. In terms of drivability and everything related they still include physics buttons eg. Hazard, redundant shift selectors, door releases

[@zotyovegh]

@@heyJohnEe sure, but then we are on the same place as if they had the normally used solutions no? If they remove a logical thing to then add 3 security options for the sake of failure, isn't that too high of a price to pay for pride? As of my rant you are right, I opened up an unnecessary topic :D

[@heyJohnEe]

@zotyovegh you got me thinking a lot now too lol very good points
