7-Seat Tesla Model Y With Third-Row Seats Added: Let's See How They Fit

The Tesla Model Y will eventually be available with a third row. However, we've been told by many people that it's quite cramped. As far as we understand, those seats will be forward-facing, though Sandy Munro thinks they'll face the rear. If that's is true, they'll be like the rear-facing jump seats in the Model S.

The amount of space available will be impacted by which way the seats face. The cargo space that remains will be affected as well. Tesla owner and YouTube influencer Erik Strait (DAErik) had some extra Tesla seats just laying around, so why not see how they fit in the Model Y? Well, that's exactly what he did. They don't fit correctly, but it's still a fun experiment.

As you can see from the images below, Munro seems to have enough room back there, though he's got the space to himself and there are no actual seats installed. Strait appears to be taller than Munro, so he has an issue with the headroom. With the seats "installed," the guys look a bit cramped, but it's not so bad. We can't wait to see what the real deal looks like.
