    As Elon stated at first it was a four seater, but then quickly replaced that with a "2+2" seater, that makes me believe the back seats are going to be utterly useless unless you have very small children with no legs. I've ben in a couple of 2+2 seaters and nowhere I could fit in the back (and I'm pretty short).

    From 1959 to 1965 my father owned a Porsche 356A coupe, which is a 2+2, and by modern standards a very tight seating arrangement. For several years when my sister and I were 3 to 8 years old we would go on long drives with my parents in front. I recall the rear seats as being spacious. Seriously.

    My point is that the rear seats in a Tesla Roadster 2+2 will be useful for small children. They are obviously not meant for adults, but that does not mean they are “utterly useless”. There are many 2+2 style cars currently being sold.

    Here are 3 pics I took — I can't really tell what the seats look like though.

    Incorrect I have found this photo and was searching for a photo of the rear seats then noticed I could see the seat belt in the rear darkness so I brightened up the photo and u can see the seats. Legit photo pretty sure they will look like that

    I imagine the Roadster back seats to be like Model S back seats except you can only fit 2 people instead of 3 and it will be a bit more tighter in space.

    Does anyone know if the rear seats of the Roadster will fold, I hope so.
    I fit my mountain bike in the back of the Model S, the only car id swap the S for is the Roadster but it would have to take a mountain bike in the back (wheels off).

    From the video, it doesn't look like they do. Remember, this is a halo car and not designed to be practical at all

    Thanks for the prompt reply i appreciate it, i checked out those posts and im looking for someone from Tesla to confirm.
    Yes I know that's not going to happen!
    I agree its a Halo car but I think its going to be the first ever practical Halo car, in fact the first practical hypercar.
    Im guessing they fold to accommodate the roof panel which will only fit in the widest part of the rear of the car ie the seats.
    Whats the point of having the most capable car ever and not using it?
    I stuck a deposit down day one.
