I don't doubt they will figure it out, but I am expecting it to be a completely separate model with bigger changes than just bolting in a 3rd row and calling it a day. I mean they must have figured it out to some extent since they had it in the prototype.

7-seat config waiting room
- Thread starter EchoDelta
- Start date
Have 3 kids under 6 so I'm confident it will be fine for my use regardless.. just wish details were more fluid.
Got first call last week from my local Tesla SC confirming my interest/ability to take ownership (ordered in Dec), so was nice for them to acknowledge my order...

Did order a 7-seater version? If yes, good to hear that you at least got an ack for the order.
yep, just standard awd 7 seater in white/black interior.
Not holding my breath on it being anytime soon, just think they are being a bit proactive in reaching out.

Early Q4 for Model Y 7 seat performance: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1274727355575971840
A slightly longer wait may not be a bad idea to give them time to sort out the QC issues.
I sent them an email. They called me back after a few days. Basically, in order for them to apply $3000 reduction, they had to reconfigure it, which meant that I lost the $2K FSD saving since the pre-order. The net saving is $1K.
I took the chance to drop the 7-seat option. After I saw the pictures of Rear-ended Ys, I do not think it is safe to sit in the rear seats..

I was able to update my config and get price reduction, but only because I don’t have FSD
Wondering if 7 seater development timeline has a relationship to the introduction of the bigger rear casting. Probably not?

Does anyone know or can guess what would be the capacity production of the casting machine?
If the machine can product at least twice the daily production of the Model Y,
may be the Model 3 would also modified to use the one piece casting part?
But I doubt that the same part could be shared between the 3 and the Y, so the machine might have to be adjusted then?
