Model Y Cargo Space (poll)

[Daniel_R]

Hi,

I'm waiting eagerly for the Model Y, but cargo space is really the deciding factor.

Currently driving an Outlander PHEV, which has some 34 cu ft of cargo space. Anything less than that would be too small for a family of four (and also a hard sell to my wife).

We are probably typical Model Y buyers, so anything bigger than 35 cu ft cargo space would increase the addressable market significantly.

What do you think? Please answer the poll!

I’d like to see the cargo equivalent of my last ICEV, a 2014 Toyota Venza. It was a good configuration for my occasional trips and two 70lb dogs. It had just over 36sqft expanding to just over 70sqft with rear seats down. I think 36 is a good minimum for the Y.

That said, cargo space and ease of loading that cargo aren’t the only reasons for Y interest. I’m assuming getting into and out of the vehicle will be easier than the 3, and that rear seat headroom and/or thigh support will be improved. Also, the view out the rear view mirror should be much better, hopefully there will be an automated rear hatch, and a rear windshield washer/wiper.

Total Cargo Space = trunk (with all seats used) + frunk

I'm still looking at the BMW X3 as the best cipher for the dimensions of the Tesla Model Y.

So around 30 with the back seats up and 60+ with them down.

My A3 e-tron has 14'/34' with seats up/down, and my new Tiguan has 38'/66'. I'm pretty sure the Model Y will be smaller than the Tiguan (which got substantially bigger with this past model year). I could make due with 30'/50'. Any more than that will be a bonus for me. As long as it has roof storage I'll be fine for longer trips.

I voted less than 30. Make it 6 or 7 seats where you can remove the 2nd and 3rd row completely.

Correction: the Outlander PHEV has 30.4 cu (SAE) of cargo space. So, anything above that will be enough for me.

Note that Elon is now referring to Model Y is a “midsize SUV”. Back in the Master Plan Part Deux, it was a “compact SUV”.

Our 2006 Kia Spectra5 (sub-compact hatchback) has 18/53. Given the size of the Model Y (assuming it isn't much larger than a 3 externally), 30/65 would be reasonable.

My RAV4 EV has 36.4 cuft of cargo space with all seats in place. I would also want similar cargo space in the Y. I also regularly carry an 8 foot ladder across town inside the RAV, so that would also be nice to do, should the Y replace the RAV. I'm not really in a hurry. I have an extended warranty on the RAV through 4/2021

Wrote this in another post.

The model 3 does have about the same wheelbase as the toyota Highlander. It's considered a midsize crossover and has 7 seats with good trunk space.

Given that it's a taller vehicle, any idea if the frunk is materially larger than the M3? This would be a nice benefit to have.

Well, looks like we all underestimated. 66 cubic feet! Source: Model Y | Tesla

That figure must be with all seats folded. I was talking about cargo space with 5 passengers seated.
Although, the poll clearly says total cargo space.

I never imagined that it would have seven seats! The poll numbers was intended for five seats.

So, we don’t yet know the cargo space for the five seats version. Guess it will be a while.

Yes, but looks like the 30-35 is more likely than 25-30, with the regular back seats up and without the 3rd row.

A Prius has 27.4 with the seats up and 65.5 with the seat down. Y has 66 with seats down. That's why I voted less than 30. More of a hot hatch than an a CUV.

anyone please compare tesla Y cargo size (66cu ft) with other Tesla and perhaps pirus, ny rav?
