Tesla (TSLA) sent an email to its existing customers and newsletter subscribers with the subject “Model Y: Midsize SUV”. This is a marketing email, but it gave an interesting hint to what’s coming next for the Tesla Model Y.
The email reads:
Ready for anything with long range, seating for up to seven and enough room for everyone’s gear.
The currently available new Tesla Model Y vehicles offer seating for up to 5 persons. Tesla’s online car configurator for Model Y does not show the 7-seat Model Y option yet. However, this recent email suggests that the 7-seat variant is about to be launched.
Multiple Tesla owners and enthusiasts shared the screenshot of this email sent by Tesla. Because of Tesla’s history with the Model Y 7-seat interior delays, one should expect a long delay before this option becomes available.
However, the early launch of this feature is much more possible because Tesla needs to increase its sales. In the company’s recent history, this year’s first quarter was Tesla’s worst in terms of car sales.
Tesla is trying its best to recover its lost EV sales even in North America. Part of this crisis is due to Elon Musk’s political involvement, which has recently undergone a breakup.
Model Y 7-Seat Interior History
Tesla Model Y’s 7-seat interior option is a longtime coming. In 2020, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that the 7-seat Model Y configuration will be offered in 2021.
After months of wait, Tesla announced that the 7-seat Model Y interior is here. The company even took orders online and published some pictures of the 3rd-row seat. However, a limited number of 7-seat Model Ys were made before Tesla discontinued this interior config.
This time though, it seems more likely for the reason we explained above. In 2021, Tesla sales were increasing its sales quarter after quarter and year after year. The company wasn’t able to adjust a new Model Y variant to the assembly line.
In 2025’s second quarter, the situation is entirely different. Tesla is losing sales each quarter. And the 7-seat Model Y would act as a sales catalyst.

 hints at launching the new 7-seat Model Y interior option (get the history and expected launch timeline).){kind=link}
The 7 seat model Y absolutely was delivered to customers in the US at least… Many were sold.
Yes I’ve been patiently waiting for a 7 seat Y. I have 4 kids and can’t buy a model Y without that third row. I don’t care how big that back row is because my kids are still small.
I’d stronly consider the 7-seater Y and build it as a 5-seater. More space behind 2nd row.
