US EditionTesla Model Y gets fresh configuration with three highly requested features
Tesla adds a $2,500 upgrade for a seven-seat third row, black headliner, and larger 16.3-inch touchscreen to the Model Y Premium AWD Long Range.
- On Monday night, Tesla launched the Model Y Premium seven‑seat option on the US configurator, available only in the United States on the Premium All‑Wheel‑Drive Long Range Model Y for $2,500.
- Driven by consumer demand, Tesla reintroduces the 7‑seat option after its removal during the early‑2025 design changeover and teased it as early as June of last year.
- Hardware and visual tweaks include a black headliner, matte black exterior badging, dark-grey 20'' Helix wheels, and a 16‑inch main display on the Premium trim.
- The move positions the Model Y as the cheapest three-row Tesla in the US, attracting families with larger households despite limited legroom and potentially influencing sales of the best-selling vehicle.
- However, the third row appears very small and mainly suitable for children, unlike the China Model YL six-seater with extended wheelbase; Elon Musk, CEO, said it `might never come` to the US before late 2026.
