Comments on: Tesla Model Y L six-seater hits stores across China, local auto media finds its third row experience “abysmal” https://carnewschina.com/2025/08/20/tesla-model-y-l-six-seater-hits-stores-across-china-local-auto-media-finds-its-third-row-experience-abysmal/ China Auto News Mon, 25 Aug 2025 10:05:09 +0000 hourly 1 By: Barbar https://carnewschina.com/2025/08/20/tesla-model-y-l-six-seater-hits-stores-across-china-local-auto-media-finds-its-third-row-experience-abysmal/#comment-639509 Mon, 25 Aug 2025 10:05:09 +0000 https://carnewschina.com/?p=235476#comment-639509 Tesla is so cooked, and having a deranged fascist megalomaniac fraudster at the helm is brand poison.

Also I had a Model S for 5 years and can attest the cars are poorly tacked together, so when you close the door it sounds like it will fall apart, not giving a satisfyingly solid "thunk" like superior vehicles.

Total boykott for #TeslaTakedown

2 kids + grandparents, Very common for an extended family in China. The FSD would allow the grandparents to take the kids to school. The 3rd row seats would allows the whole extended family for a dinner night out in town.

Even small kids would not like it due to the heating that would occur in sun light. Parents would find it a pain to buckle and unbuckle them too. Car seats? A serious and hard no there.

I see a point with this, 2 extra seats for non standard occasions.

Still is quite unsafe this car, I would not drive it since someone can hit it in the back and doesn’t seem to proper handle that situation

The Ancillary Bay is on top of rear part of the battery, housing the onboard charger, high and low voltage control system. On M3 and MY the hump is hidden bellow the rear seats.

It should be marketed as a 4+2 to manage expectations..I wish they'd offer adjustable air suspension as an upgrade maybe in the future together with 2nd gen LFP batteries.

People buy them i guess for tech and being first movers…their cars are ugly inside and outside…most top chinese brands dump on teslas and it is a shame to see the chinese flock to tesla and apple while having equivalent products or better…the US has been openly waging an economic war against China and so many chinese flock to those 2 brands…
