Wish they could give us an option to take off the option without penalty. The FSD increased by $1000 since my order. If I reconfigure it, I will lose $1K.
3rd Row seat in Model Y is really tight

the frustrating thing is b/c of naysayers a lot of car co.s don't offer 3rd row options in the US for the EXACT same car that they do in asia/europe. Even if you want to custom order. I'm glad Tesla is bucking the trend
can you remove the mddle seat, middle row (like the highlander?)

I hope you can with that out over the phone with a sales rep. Hopefully it will be someone who is awesome! If not, as they say... try, try again.
Might not be real simple...the Y has heated seats in the rear/middle seat. Might also be an air bag there too...not sure on that one

Do you suppose those third row seats are prepped for car seats?
How difficult would it be to install them?
Can people in 2nd row reach back to care for kids in 3rd row?

I would think you can put car seats there but not sure. It would be very difficult to install judging by the limited access. I guess you could reach back from the second row, but it would be tight since there isn't too much space between the 2nd row seat backs and the roof.
We have a 3 and and an Odyssey. (and I bet we get close to 2x the MPG of a Suburban, They're worlds different vehicles). We can put all in the 3 2nd row for now but it's pretty tight and nobody's > 100lbs yet. They greatly prefer the Odyssey for any drive much over 20 min. The back row of the 3 has a pretty limited peace time threshold. A weekly 45 min trip to the local ski hill is over that limit. I hope Tesla will make a minivan some day and we'll rejoice. Of course our kids will be in college by then but they really need to make one. Nothing beats it for moving > 4 people around.
Back to the Y 3rd row, I'm curious how much space you give up with the 3rd. If it were our only vehicle, there'd be no question but with the Odyssey in the garage, it's not a must-have. I ordered one but am considering skipping it to accelerate my delivery date.

We have 4 kids. The 3 year old sits in the third row in the X in a car seat. It's a bit tight for him cause his feet don't go under the middle row. Makes it a bit tight got that reason. Don't think the Y will be any better cause it will probably have less room than the X in the third row
Tesla has been contacting Y reservation holders about the option to switch to the 5 seat version.

I got that letter. I sure wish I could compare the two side-by-side. It would be nice to have. We'll likely just keep our Odyssey for >5 passengers. It's not likely even worth what the $3k 3rd row would cost.
Weird thing is the account "Manage my car" page for my Y order - with 3rd row - says:
Prepare for delivery
Prepare for delivery

Thought that was the case but annoying it would be that misleading. Also can't seem to edit my car without it ditching the 3rd row.

it's all about perspective and i agree I want to sit in one too. So I'll wait. Hopefully i'll see one at a SC soon...
