The new variant stretches Tesla’s best-selling SUV. Engineers extended the wheelbase by 150 mm to reach 3,040 mm total and added roughly 180 mm to the vehicle’s overall length. Those gains create enough interior volume for an additional row of seats.
Instead of installing a cramped seven-seat bench, the automaker fitted independent captain’s chairs in the middle row.

Those seats offer heating, ventilation, powered armrests and a one-touch fold function. The rearmost row includes heated seats, power recline and child-seat anchors.
Tesla has not released further details on powertrain options or driving range for this initial series. The Launch Series represents the opening phase of the extended SUV’s availability in the targeted markets.

The Circuitry is a passion project I've always wanted to build, and I love the work behind it.

Running it costs real money. APIs, hosting, time. To keep improving the site and growing this into something useful for everyone, those costs have to be covered.

Any contribution is appreciated. If not, no pressure. Thanks for reading.
