Like the Model 3, the Model Y front passenger seat does not appear to fold fully flat. In other crossovers or wagons, the front seat can fold flat. This allows for long loads that run all the way from the tailgate to the dashboard. For example, the front passenger seat in my wagon folds forward all the way flat, allowing for items 9' ft in length to be carried, like my 9' longboard and my 8'10" SUP. An alternative approach is to pull the headrest up and out, then fold the front passenger seat all the way back and flat. Unfortunately, the Model Y headrest does not seem to allow for this either. Having to use roof racks for long items would be a drag.
Am I missing something here? Note that I have seen others fit a longer surboard into a Model 3 diagonally trough the gap between the front seats, but this really is not a good long term approach (interior scuffing, etc).
I was really looking forward to getting a Model Y to replace my gas engined wagon, but this lack of fold-flat makes it less desirable.
