Tesla has officially announced that it will be introducing a much-anticipated seating option for the new Model Y “Juniper,” which has been launched globally in the last month. The company initially released the “Launch Edition” of the Model Y, featuring a revamped interior and exterior design, as well as various engineering enhancements such as a stiffer suspension and acoustic-laminated glass to reduce cabin noise.
The Launch Edition of the Model Y only offered a five-seat configuration, leaving many fans and potential customers wondering if Tesla had plans to release a seven-seat version of the popular all-electric crossover. After much speculation, Tesla has now confirmed that a seven-seat configuration of the Model Y is indeed in the works, addressing the high demand for this option among customers.
The original seven-seat configuration of the Model Y had been a topic of discussion since it was first introduced by Tesla a few years ago. Despite being a compact crossover with limited rear cargo space, Tesla managed to create a seven-seat version with a third row that could comfortably accommodate children or smaller adults. This setup is ideal for families with children, offering enough space to transport four kids while remaining more affordable than the larger Model X SUV.
The new seven-seat Model Y is expected to be released by the end of the year, along with other configurations including a performance variant that has been generating excitement within the Tesla community. This announcement has generated a lot of interest and anticipation among Tesla enthusiasts, who are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the highly-requested seating option for the Model Y.
