Elon Musk Confirms Refreshed Tesla Model S Will Bring Back 7 Seat Option

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLAModel S Sedan used to have a seven seater option. Customers could select the option when building the vehicle on Tesla's site with the two jumper seats in the back of the car, which was great to fit two children. These seats were discontinued, but in an October 2020 tweet responding to a question about a return of the seats, CEO Elon Musk said "You never know." 

Now it seems that 7 seat option will be returning to the Model S refresh, although there is currently no option available on Tesla's site.

When touting the impressive specs of the Plaid Model S, Musk said the Plaid S will be the first production car to achieve a 0 to 60 under two seconds, while also having four doors and seven seats.

"The new Plaid S is our best car ever. Will be first production car to achieve 0-60mph in under 2 secs & it has four doors & seats up to 7 people."
