The main advantage of the seven-seater Model Y is its much lower price compared to the Model X. Historically, the seven-seat option cost an extra $2,000. It is expected to be available only for the Long Range AWD and Long Range RWD versions, not the Performance model.
For families who need to use six or more seats often, some users suggest considering the Model X or other larger vehicles.
The six-seat Model X is seen as better in terms of space and daily convenience. However, the seven-seater Model Y, with its lower price and Tesla's mature technology, is still attractive for families on a budget who do not need the third row often.
