    We went with the 7 seater - no regrets. Used the 3rd row seats today with some friends so we didn’t need to take 2 cars. Plenty of room.

      How much space is there behind the third row? We have 2 young kids (1 toddler and another 6 years) and I am pretty sure they will fit in 3rd row but I doubt that I can fit 1 stroller and some bags when third row is up.

    This was my first video I’ve watched of yours and had to subscribe. I just test drove the model Y 5 seater yesterday and fell in love with it. I want a Tesla and that’ll be my next vehicle. Someone that’s 30 and adding more to the family. Currently 2 adults and one 7 year old and adding at least one more child and a pet. I think the 7 seater is the way to go because I noticed the built in arm rest in the 3rd row but losing that space is very very minimal. I don’t think I’d use the 3rd row all that much so I’d keep the seats down but just in case! I prefer the black interior because I personally don’t like white and all the possible stains it comes with that’ll be noticeable

Things like that?

      @@LockettTech This is about my only remaining question. I test packed a friend's MY7 seater and that jumped out at me. Also above the wheel hump the Y goes nearly straight up. I was comparing to my current CRV, which widens up quite a bit giving more space in width. MY had a longer floor, though. I've got my pics from my friend's car, now planning on test driving a 5 seater and doing the same packing and pics. Also want to check out my dog's cushion. He's big, but fits in back with some luggage. The Y seems a little narrow.
      Can't believe I'm so over thinking the 5 vs 7... We have 2 kids, so just adding grandma and grandpa we need 6 seats and having grandparents drive separately seems dumb if we can stop that need.
      Now... I'm still torn about the white interior. I despise wood grain, so the black interior turns me off, and kind of don't want to fiddle with a wrap.
      1st world problems. Plan on placing order this weekend after testing the 5 seater.

    Model Y is not long enough for 7 seats. The last row of 2 seats basically can fit a child of under 5 yrs as they don’t need much legroom, however there is no ventilation back there. Kids will be suffocated after 1/2 hr ride. With the sunshine in Ca & AZ, last row will be so hot as the roof is on top of the seats.

    • @LockettTech
      @LockettTech  2 года назад +4

      Putting the center seat back down in the second row allows the third row to get a ton of air to help with that. We tinted our roof too to help with the heat and it works great.
