The early seats are on large centered pedestals and move independently while the bench seats are mounted in more traditional ways. Nothing about the pedestals is similar to the later seats. I'm not saying it's even possible, but if it were, at the very least, the flooring would need changed (I mean the carpet and the floor under it, and I couldn't tell you whether any mounting points would be the same) and the vehicle software config would need changed (which means finding someone to hack it or convincing Tesla to make potentially "unsupported" modifications). It is also feasible that some harnesses would need to be changed as well since the seats do completely different things and the latches for the folding and sliding functions in the bench are actuated electronically in spite of the fact that the adjustments have to be done manually. That having been said, it sounds like you might be making some assumptions about the folding 7 seat config. so I wouldn't be sure you want that to begin with (you could, but you ought to be sure first). You might do a bit of reading on that vs 5 & 6. there is a good long thread about that. For instance, depending on why you think you want a 7 seater, any of these threads might provide some useful information for you to aid in that decision:
hey guys, Literally been on the verge of ordering myself a MX 7 seater when I get told that the new ones, the middle row aren’t electric and can’t be controlled from the console etc. The show room that’s local doesn’t have any 7 seaters and supposedly no other show rooms in the UK does...

I wonder whether a 7-seater with the 3rd row folded down is the same as a 5-seater. If it is the case, does that mean a 7-seater is a better choice?

Hi everyone, I test drove a MY over the weekend and it felt to small and cramped, my family likes the MX because of the FWD so I just want to know if y'all recommend a 6 seat or 7 seat interior. We currently have a Honda Odyssey but we rarely use the third row. Thanks

Anyone else have the issue of anytime they move the middle row seats, the corresponding front seat moves? On either the driver side or the passenger side, when I slightly adjust the location of the middle row seat it moves the front row seat in front if it. This has become especially annoying...
