Walk-in seating, backroom, headroom?

[Ulmo]

Does the Model Y have walk-in seating like pickup trucks and some SUVs have?

How much back room and headroom is in the Model Y?

I.e., can normally large men fit in it?

Since I don't think Tesla is shipping Model Y yet, I guess this question has to be left to people who have access to the dev units. Since most of the devs tend to be petite, I am not expecting truthful answers from them.

Can’t remember where i read, or heard, this but the observation was that the 3rd row would only comfortably accommodate kids. Maybe it was the RTL podcast?

It is interesting to notice that Tesla, for some reasons, always black out the Model Y rear windows.

Looks like small children only back there.

On Tesla’s website the Model X says Seating for up to seven adults. The Model Y shows seating for up to seven. Based on that the 2nd row rear seats won’t be useful for Adults.

From what we have seen in the limited pics online, I am currently tending to agree as it looks VERY tight in there. Maybe someone small in stature (like my wife who is 5'), may be able to fit, but anyone close to an average size it currently seems unusable. I am anxious to see what the final configuration/setup looks like.

It would be unreasonable to expect third row adult seating in a smaller SUV. Particularly when the aerodynamic profile of the vehicle is a big feature.

No dig against Tesla for marketing it as a 7 seater, but a 6.5 seater may be more appropriate

Like the S was 7seats?
I haven't looked at the Y but maybe a 4+3 or 5+2 description would be more accurate.

5+2 makes the most sense with the info we have today.

I wouldn't sit 2 kids back there. Would be a nightmare in a accident.
