7 seat waiting room

[Rajb]

Got Delivery notice today - Devon, PA.. picking car up next Friday ! Will post experience

Picked up the car Friday as scheduled. Overall experience was good. The Tesla delivery check in rep opened the car and told me take my time with inspecting the car.
Overall the car is in good shape.. no panel or paint issues apparent to me. Interior headliner had slight marks that the rep cleaned out. The brake pedal has a unsightly weld that the rep opened a case for but not sure if they will replace.
The car was originally at 50% charge and they super charged it to 90% at my request.
Car drives well but the road noise, wind noise, squeaks and rattles are more noticable than my 2018 Audi A6. Acceleration is way better though

Picked up my Model Y 7-Seater today. Better build. Still had paint issues but not enough to refuse delivery. They ran out of tire repair kits which should have been included so I'll have to come back and pick it up when it is back in stock.

Is there any air vents for the Model Y 3rd row, like for the Model X 7-seat ?

Nope.. no vents in the 3rd row

Are the tire repair kits included with every MYLR7 ? Mine didn't come with one

The Model X 7-seat I believe has air vents and heated seats fot the 3rd row and costs an extra $3,500.

I find the new $4,000 extra for the 7-seat Model Y to be a little bit pricey.

I'm sure that's true, however Tesla wants a policy with my actual VIN on it. I uploaded my previous policy to appease them but at least here in PA they won't let you drive off the lot without a policy for that specific car.

I'm picking up today. We shall see what they say

In MD, they are required to provide one. Some states do not require it.

Yes it is very pricey. Unfortunately we're kinda not liking the gull wing doors on the X. While they are awesome for loading unloading kids. Don't know about the long term reliability and issues opening and closing sometimes. Y can utilize a roof rack when the X does not.

The 3rd row space in the X is much more comfortable but again there is no room behind if you're going on a road trip with lots of kids and need to lug a bunch of things. We find the Y has better options as you can utilize a roof rack.

100%. I was also interested in MX at first, but switched to MY for these reasons and some more. This is one of the best videos I’ve seen on this topic:

They’re two neighbours, one owns MX and the other got MY, and they discuss mainly the differences in detail.

Yes, unfortunaly.

The Model X is only 11 inches longer than the Model Y, but costs twice as much (especially if you qualify for the Tax rebate, see detail below).
I understand that the Model X has air suspension, and the falcon doors are costly, but both the Model X and the Mdel Y have almost the same range.

I wish there was a Model Y "Plus" with 7 "real" seats and "regular" doors,
a little bit longer than the Model Y, similar to the time when there was a Toyota Prius "V",
and costing may be only $10,000 more than the Model Y with 5 seats.

To pay an extra $4,000 just for a tiny folding 3rd row, and sliding rails for the second row, is a kind of rip-off, IMO.
Also there is no extra vents and no heated seats for the Model Y 3rd row.

I would recommend using a Tow Hitch Box instead of a Roof Rack Box to get a better consumption to carry extra load.

I would be curious to know the number of 5 seats Model Y versus 7 seats Model Y sold in US,
and also the number of 6 and 7 seats Model X sold in US compared to the 7 seats Model Y.

I did the same math above, and compared to Used/CPO X (which had dropped to below new Y pricing) BUT TSLA dropped new Y pricing and raised CPO X pricing so I'm back to Y

Picked up a 7-seater on Saturday at the Lynnwood, WA location. Place was hopping!

 

[gaur]

People who have picked up their 7 seaters in the last few weeks: how’s the build quality for you? Any rejections? Any dealbreaking/disappointing issues build wise, including rattles and what not?

 

[cdaazn]

It looks like 7 seat option dropped by $1000. Just received email for updated order agreement with 7 seat option showing as $3000.

I might use the 1K drop toward white seats (and maybe tow hitch too) Bummed that they won't allow 7 seat option with base AWD. Off menu?

Very well put together. Appreciate this info.
I have no knowledge on Tow Hitch use.. and brief would be much appreciated. Is this something I’ll can add on after purchase ? And if that costs same/more?

Kinda sucks, just took delivery last week. At least I didn't pay an extra $3000. Crazy to think those that took delivery on April 17th, 2023 for a 7 seater Y paid $4000 more just for taking delivery 11 days earlier.
