I want more “2.5 row” cars like the 7 seater model y. Back row is pretty much only usable for kids, but can be folded down for cargo space.

We have a toddler and would love to be able to fit him in his car seat plus both my parents in a car, but his car seat is massive so we can’t make that work even in our CRV. I’d love to get a 7 seater Y, but I don’t know that I really want to buy another tesla

Make it removeable entirely so I can get the cargo space back and you’ve got a deal

We have 3 kids and are looking for a 6 seater. Bench in the middle does. not. work. Captains chairs are much easier to get around.

You just described the exact reason I went for the minivan when my kids were little. It had captains chairs and sufficient aisle to walk through, to deal with kids seats

That's a shame, I was turned off by the Solterra because you can visually tell that it's more Toyota than Subaru.

What could go wrong?

They need to get out from under the anti-EV Toyota and go out alone or find a partner that believes in EVs. This "hippy" user base definitely wants good EV options.

I'll believe it when I see it.
