The seven-seat Model Y is back and the rear seats appear as useless as ever
Tesla has introduced a new seven-seat version of the facelifted Model Y Premium. It’s available exclusively on the all-wheel drive Premium variant and costs an additional $2,500.
While the company hasn’t provided specifics on the fold-flat third row, it appears nearly identical to the setup found in the pre-facelift Model Y, meaning it can accommodate two small children at best. Unfortunately, they won’t find much back there besides two cup holders and some armrests integrated into the cargo area.

Pricing starts at $51,490 and the vehicle has an EPA-estimated range of 327 miles (526 km). The crossover can also accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 4.6 seconds, before hitting a top speed of 125 mph (201 km/h).
In other news, Tesla revealed all Premium and Performance variants will now come equipped with a black headliner and a larger 16-inch infotainment system. That’s up slightly from the previous 15.4-inch display.
Tesla didn’t mention additional changes, but reports suggest the model also gains matte black badging and a new 20-inch wheel design. The latter are known as the Helix 2.0 and they cost $2,000. Unfortunately, the titanium colored wheels lower the range of the aforementioned all-wheel drive Model Y Premium to 303 miles (488 km).
