The BEST Family Tesla Showdown. 7-Seat Model Y or Model X?

[@earthzero7]

This is probably the best model comparison I've seen between the two. Focused on space and practicality rather than performance and range. Great job!

[@tjb4492]

i agree

[@ashnun8811]

Definitely agree. The 7 seater is the way to go even if you’re not going to use everyday is there in my opinion

[@josader81]

Cos mums know whats important ;)

[@BecauseTesla]

In regards to the Model X, there are 3 seating options: 5, 6, or 7 seats. The 6 seat layout is actually MORE expensive than the 7 seat due to the captain-style chairs. Of course, the 5 seat option is the cheapest of the three if you're just looking to get into a Model X at the most affordable price. The Model X will also have an adjustable air suspension for a smoother ride and you can raise or lower it to get in and out of steep driveways. So the X is larger in physical size, larger battery, air suspension, falcon-wing doors, gauge cluster behind the steering wheel, more technology like auto presenting doors that open and close, etc. These are the things to consider if the price difference is worth it to you. Oh, and Rodriguez daughter...superstar!

[@Hell0Ge0rGie]

This has been the best Tesla (for a family ) review I have seen ! I have been wanting the X but couldn’t pull the trigger because of the cost. Seeing the Y and X together , it’s the Y for me. The $40k more on the X is for those doors that just aren’t practical for us. Thanks for doing this.

[@jaysantoyo6215]

The doors are extremely practical. Especially with a family when all doors open for you, and ten times easier to get in and out of the car

[@themightymonarch777]

I’m a single guy with no kids I don’t really have need for these vehicles but I’m really impressed with the actual in-depth practical review if I was looking for something like this this is exactly the way I want someone to review it.

[@rgalv3]

With us having two kids aged 2 years old and a 7 month, the Y provided us enough space. Depending on how big the family, I see the Y dominating for most families at that price point. This video has me excited for our delivery date!

[@sleepy314]

Thanks for putting someone in the back seat to give a real picture of what its like.

[@_hello_sunshine]

The X is still the one I prefer. I would love to get the new refresh version with that same 6 seat configuration you have.

[@mugsy201]

This video has been extremely helpful since I have a third kid on the way and I'm trying to decide between a model y with a third row and a model x with a third row. Thanks kim!

[@antonioguzman4766]

finally the video that everyone has been waiting for

[@impitt28]

[@salocin911]

This is so useful for PARENTS! We were considering a toyota highlander, but I think we could make this work! Thanks Kim!

[@SCWgreg]

I love you ladies! Great recap. Trying to get my wife to give up her Enclave. We already have the Performance version of the Y (for me), but if I could get her to give up the ICE, I’d trade for the 7 seater and pick up a 3. Thank you.

[@hugoboss1782]

Cliché

[@scarlettto7732]

As a mom of 3 toddlers/babies , I would go for model X 6 seats because I won’t be able to put down most of the seats anyway. I got 3 car seats and need to go to the back to check their seatbelts.

[@strykerace]

my only major concern for the model y 7 seater is what happens if you have older child or small adult in the back seat and the Model Y hits a big bump. How hard is that impact on the back roof/window going to be if the kid/adult bouncing hits. Also I wonder what the impact to EPA range would be for fully loaded (7 people with stuff) vs 1 person with no stuff. I am guessing that EPA tests with no stuff.

[@shelbyallison2016]

Just placed an order for my 7 seater Y and this really helped me decide so thank you so much. I'm so excited!!! Love the white on white 🤩.

[@tabottietjen3186]

I have a 3, soon to be Y so I would buy the Y but I still think the X is the best looking Tesla. It just looks so badass to me. Y has better charging and tech

[@jessblue112]

Thank you for your honesty about the car. Saving up to get Model Y.

[@RecruitedAndrew]

I recently purchased a Y for my family, the kids love it lol

[@LAA2198]

Both great cars. For those who like sleek minimalist look, then the Model Y is suitable for them. For those who like more noticeable options, then Model X is suitable for them.

[@TeslaHo]

oh man.. that smart kid can speak much better on camera than I can 😅... Id subscribe to her if she ever makes a channel.

[@JasonParham83]

This just sealed the deal for me. Just scheduled my model Y test drive.

[@hattijoe2]

I just got my model Y 3months ago and I love it! But if I could afford the X that’s what I would’ve chosen. It just something about the model X 🤦🏽‍♀️ the doors and it way more roomy. Btw, I love your neighborhood😍 great video!

[@alng16]

Is the ride quality harsh?!

[@Myksgarage]

Model Y 3rd row looks super tight

[@cordareoswait4273]

This is the exact video I have been waiting for. I am stuck in my lease for a while but as soon as it up i am getting my MY 7 seater

[@ChicagoTechGuy]

I have 3 kids with a model 3. The Y is nice, but for $20k more I couldn’t justify it only being 10% bigger then the 3. No complaints

[@misc5831]

17:03 It always makes sense to get a tow hitch. It's only a few extra dollars on your payment. I am not a big fan on White interior because it gets dirty looking over time. Especially with kids.

[@Tomm9y]

The Model X needs to be stretched a little and include adaptable 2nd row seats. Time for a Model X Max!

[@zackjames2381]

and make it taller

[@BryceLovesTech]

Thank you for doing this review. I love cargo comparisons that’s the real important thing for families.

Tow hitch is a must for the model Y. Roof racks brings down the range. Aerodynamics.

[@benson827]

This is actually extremely informative. Thanks

[@MrTedflick]

Nice to finally see a BIPOC in a Tesla video!

[@MelvinDlaCruz]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I will get a Tesla for my family when they do something more comfy and bigger like a van because this looks so uncomfortable compared to my Honda Odyssey, no way I going to put my kids in this really uncomfortable place. 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟

[@Superman-xr1oh]

Yeah, exactly. It's just too small. I think it's funny that it's marketed as an SUV. If anything, it looks more like a full size sedan/crossover.

[@supensabideo]

Great video! That poor girl's feet will pop off if they get in an accident and that seems scary to me. I get that the price is less and that is a decent option for that scenario but the helicopter windshield, extra nav screen, auto doors including front doors, air suspension, better audio system, larger space, faster acceleration, additional range, new screen in back, new ventilated seats, 6 seat option for more modern and open space cabin, and other factors definitely justify the extra cost. If you want electric and the X is not an option, and your 3rd row crew is small, this definitely could "work". Tesla really needs to make the Cybertruck an SUV also. That would provide a large 3rd row option and the price would be quite low for the size assuming it's a 7k-10k upgrade from the standard truck price.

[@paranoyd29906]

You guys did a good job of showing in real time the space in these vehicles, I have been eyeing these things hard and honestly feel that for my families need, it would be best to save the money on the bigger car and get the smaller car

[@petestan]

You can adjust 3rd row leg room in the Y while you’re sitting back there - just hold the button on the shoulder of the second row seats and move them forward or back.

[@sherwinm]

you should sit on the passenger side of the 3rd row. I couldn't fit my feet under the seat. the rails won't let me put my feet/shoes side by side. the driver side is "larger" because the rails are supporting the left and mid second row seats, hence it's wider. the passenger side rails is supporting only the right side 2nd row seat. the rails are closer together. the only way to "set" my feet on the floor (while on the passenger side 3rd row seat) is either pushing the 2nd row seat forward to get more room and putting each feet on each rail. Or putting my left foot in front of the driver side 3rd row seat and my right foot in front of me. I'm not tall, 5'5" with size 9.5 shoes. did I miss a technique in how to sit in the 3rd row?

[@TEDISKABONG]

Kudos on a superb video. Perhaps one of the best comparisons out there on KZbin. I am on the fence about any sort of Tesla as a father of 3 little kids (6/3/6 weeks). This is making my decision path more comfortable. Appreciate your hard work on putting this together!

[@larryruffin4546]

What did you end up getting? I’m in your same boat with ages in our kiddos?

[@googadisbeotches9360]

X is a massive flex SUV, Y is amazing utility in smaller form.

[@AndJusticeForAll23]

Family of six with a Sienna and model 3. At 6’6” and using the easy entry on the 3 no one wants to sit behind even our smallest child. Also the 3’s belts in the rear are a pain with boosters. For what the X costs I would need Sienna type room in all 3 rows. Wish they would have made an X XL or something.

[@Superman-xr1oh]

Yeah, these cars just aren't practical for large families. They need to make van sized electric cars.

[@leonnahobbs5054]

We’re a family of 7 and I currently drive a Yukon XL to accommodate my kids (2, 5, 9, 11, and 12) because I don’t want them cramped. They do lots of activities so I need room for sports equipment, Colorguard flags, etc. I want an electric vehicle but what’s on the market currently just won’t cut it for my family sadly

[@batternbaked3073]

Thank you so much for this video! Hands down the best comparison for us to make our decision!

[@new_nonsense]

Just took a test drive of the Model Y 7 seater. The 3rd row was useless. Even my 5 yr old was so uncomfortable sitting back there even with the 2nd row seats moved forward. As a 5 seater the Model Y is super spacious.

[@animalloverjulian8243]

Most people can’t afford a $100,000 car like the model X, the model Y is the most affordable. Both the model X and Y are expensive, but the model Y is more like an economy version of the X.

[@MrCanoemountain]

Great comparison. Already sent to a friend. Love moms in ripped jeans!!!!

[@BobThe9534]

[@bnnett]

Okay the younger lady gave some really good info way more value added than one will anticipate.

[@cameronbarnes5882]

Do a side video of the Y and a group of 7 people getting in going to a location getting out, then all getting in, mix the seating up and video back and the pros and cons, then do it with the X

[@ashnun8811]

I love the comparisons. This is very knowledgeable for anybody looking but honestly why spend an extra 40k when you got it all in the Y? I’m in love and can’t wait to get my Y this weekend. 😊

7 seater is the way to go 🎉

Also air suspension on x and ability to reduce the regen.

[@Evhell95]

It was pretty much a no brainer to get the S3X

[@CaptainDawg02]

For us it was about space. Our kids are only the size they are for a small time, shorter than it is for when we own the car. Our kids will be absolutely squished in a Model Y with the 3rd row. If only they would make an affordable Model X.

[@markpitchford7375]

I wish they made the X with traditional doors and the glass roof. The debate was settled when you saw how much bigger the 3rd row was and how much easier the 6 seat configuration made it to access in the model X.

Wow the seats fold really nice and flat great if you want to put a couple of dogs in the back. So many ev's have terrible seat folding but this Y reminds me of the way a prius seats fold down to make a nice flat area.

Well, you advertised this as 7-Seat Model Y & never showed if 7 could actually sit in the Y. This video shows barely 6 can sit in it, no way someone could sit in the other. Would love to see a video with 7 people really sitting, getting in & out. Very few families could use the 7 seat configuration in the Y if needed for 7 passengers regularly. IMO

[@JonasGrumby]

I wish they would make a model X with a regular door option. It would be way cheaper and they would probably not have needed to make the model Y.

@@flykix2117 I really like the S. I have a family of 3 so it's easy for us but still I think with the large trunk+frunk S should still be enough room for you... but Y would probably feel a bit roomier with it being a bit more like an SUV. For me the biggest gain with X & S are the air suspensions - super comfy ride.

I foresee a trade-in for you in the near future, Kim. Frankly, I'm tempted to do the same. It's not as if I have kids to accommodate, however, so… I'm thinking I'll hold off until the Y comes with Tesla's new 4860 battery… and thus even more range.
