As many of us await what the plan will be for 7 seater design, I'm curious if there might be an aftermarket play to take the model S rear facing seat and retrofit into a Y on a 5 seater. I believe Tesla will do the aftermarket install into Model S's for around $1,800.
Potential benefits:
-Nearly half the price of current 7 seater upgrade ($3K)
-No need to wait for 7 seater, do it today on 5 seater
-If Tesla doesn't offer rear seat option (but rather unusable front facing), provides great alternative
Downsides:
-feasibility in reusing model S seats
-safety: does model Y come standard with cross bracing (or need added like the model S)
Any thoughts? Would love to see what the model S rear seats look liked in a Model Y for a size comparison. Also very curious to see an inside picture from rear seats facing back... how many inches from head to glass for a child? More then 12?
