Leaked 6-Seater Model Y Production and Latest Tesla Updates

Hey everyone, DennisCW here! Welcome back to another deep dive into all things Tesla. If you're into Tesla deal hacking, EV news, and maximizing your Tesla experience, you're in the right place. Today, we're breaking down some exciting leaks about a potential 6-seater Model Y, plus a roundup of other hot Tesla topics from my latest video. Let's jump in!

The Buzz on the 6-Seater Model Y: Is It Worth Waiting For?

Kicking things off with the big news: A leaked post from TC Mesla suggests that a 6-seater refresh of the Model Y has started rolling off the production line at Gigafactory Shanghai. Now, take this with a grain of salt since the source is unverified, but the details are intriguing.

Key highlights from the leak:

• Design Changes: Alterations behind the C-pillar for more third-row headroom. The current Model Y's third row is tiny and not ideal for regular use—definitely not recommended if you're hauling kids or passengers often.
• Longer Wheelbase: Estimated 15-20 cm extension, which could make a huge difference in space and comfort.
• Seating Features: Second-row seats with perforations for ventilation (third row doesn't have this). This aligns with the Juniper refresh, which already has perforated seats in some configs.
• New Wheels: A different design, possibly to handle the added weight or for aesthetics.

This setup sounds perfect for families. Imagine captain's chairs in the second row for easier third-row access—way better than folding seats every time. It's like a mini Model X but more affordable. If it's launching in China soon (maybe before the next earnings call), we could see a US release a month or two later, based on past patterns like the Juniper rollout.
