Tesla sent an email hinting at a 7-seat Model Y called Juniper to existing customers and subscribers.
The email hinted at a 7-seat variant with long range and ample space for gear, despite the current Model Y offering only seating for 5.
Tesla had previously announced a 7-seat Model Y configuration, but production was limited; now, with struggling sales in 2025, the 7-seat variant may be released sooner to boost sales.
The potential launch of the 7-seat Model Y reflects Tesla's efforts to increase sales amid a decline and may be a strategic move to recover from recent sales slumps.
