Hi is it possible to add the 3rd row into a used Y? I was hoping to get a Y with a 3rd row but didn't want to wait for a new one.

I have MY7. It's not as simple as adding the 3rd row seats in the space. You have to replace all of 2nd rows to allow sliding mechanisms.Hi is it possible to add the 3rd row into a used Y? I was hoping to get a Y with a 3rd row but didn't want to wait for a new one.
Anyone had any luck with doing this?On same boat here, wanted a SR7 but when it was discontinued, I had no choice but to order what i could find, a 5 seater. I tought the same thing as OP, and here is what I know so far, the mounting points on a 7 seater are the same as 5 seater, there is actually a braket where the seat sits, so technically it os possible, but as it was mention the center seat would also have to be put on the sliders or better yet the whole seat with sliders would have to be changed as the entry way is only possible with that seat. Also the plastic panels on the rear qtr panel (inside the car) are different on 7 seater(with armrest) could probably do without them tho. Looking at teslas parts website there is a diagram with all the parts needed, but they are restricted and not for sale. So the best bet is going to be a wrecked 7 seater, but given the amount of parts it wont be cheap, also im not sure if the wiring for the center seat is the same so that it works. I dont think this has been done, but would love to see someone do it, as im interested myself
It depends on what "worth it" is to you, I do agree that it would have to come from a wrecked Y, but for someone like me with a SRY, its about 21k more to switch to a 7 seat LR then I paid. The only real 7 seat vehicle in the market right now is the model X but new ones are not being produced and used ones are going for crazy pricing so thats not an option. In my case it would be ideal to add whats needed, hell even if it costed 5k from tesla, but thats not even an option.Not worth it. Too many parts and too much work to swap them. If you can find a 7 seater for parts and get a chance to pull all the parts from the car, including middle row of seats and rails, then I imagine it's doable. I doubt there are many 7 seaters at junk yards at this time.
Just NO with no explanation is horrid.
Feel good about yourself, he said NO with no explanation... much better than giving you a thumbs down with no comment and no explanation...Just NO with no explanation is horrid.
This is very true.I could be wrong, but I'm not sure the legality of adding a 3rd row without it coming from the factory like that. If anything happened to the 3rd row passengers you'd likely be liable.
The VIN will indicate whether a car is meant for 7ppl or not.
Same here, no one seems to be able to do it, and i called tesla to ask, and as expected it they said no.I ordered a MY5LR and I'm feeling a bit disappointed that I didn't get the MY7LR. Wish a retrofit was possible! Price of the car has gone up drastically
They make threaded bungs that go in like a pop rivet, no welding required.Reviving old thread. I might attempt to do this if I can find the top back section of the third row. The bottom cushion seems available. I took apart the 5 seater and the 7 seater. The 5 seater has empty holes where threads are present in the 7 seater mounts. It might be possible to weld threaded bungs in the holes. If the seat can be installed you still would have to deal with the 2nd row seat being too far back. This is just an idea, will report back if it materializes.
