Last week, we reported that Tesla referenced an upcoming 7-seat configuration for the new Model Y in communications with customers. The automaker previously offered a 7-seat configuration for the Model Y, before the design refresh earlier this year. It was never very popular. Now, we learn that Tesla is also working on a 6-seater configuration, which would be completely new to Model Y. Tesla offers a 6-seater configuration for the Model X, but it never did for other models.

Now, Green notes that his findings point to the new version likely not being only for the Chinese market.
