Y seat in a 3?

[iwannam3]

I like the higher seat position on the model Y. Is there a Y seat rack part I can buy from Tesla that will bolt into my 3 and make me a "booster" seat? Or do I need to get a used Y seat? The parts have different #s. Y= 1107103-TX-J 3= 1119853-00-B but the image looks the same. Is the floor bumped up on the Y to raise the seat?

Unless you are pretty short, isnt there a less than zero chance that anything like that would put your head too close to the glass roof in a model 3? What about crash ratings, etc?

If you like the higher seat position, you likely need to look at selling your model 3 and buying a model Y. Trying to put a model Y seat in a model 3, even if it was possible (which I dont know, but doubt) sounds like a very bad idea.

Why not just buy a pad or something you can put on the drivers seat or something?

Even with the seat "elevated" it's not high enough?

The seats in both cars are identical . The Y has risers built into the car platform, I believe they are about 15" high.

I looked at a Y, but I have an early 3 with the cool orange water drops on the roof and free subscriptions etc and it's paid for. Getting my old butt up and off the seat is getting harder. Don't laugh, you will be there one day! I'm 6 feet, but lots of headroom.

Im there now, lol... (im 55).. My wife has a Y. I like cruising in it, but still enjoy driving my model 3 more. I still dont think you could put a model Y seat with its riser in a model 3 safely though, but am certainly not an expert.

... cool orange water drops on the roof ...

That's the best reason anyone should consider when deciding whether to keep a car or not

I too have heard that the "Risers" in the Model Y are not removable and therefore can not be used in the 3.

Yep, OG Tesla, Orange Gang! Easy to spot it in a parking lot in wet Washington!

Seats are the same. Floor is higher, via “raiser”. Those won’t work with the model 3 (and would be too high anyway).
