This seven-seat setup is available on the Premium All-Wheel-Drive Long Range variant for an additional $2,500. The model also includes design and tech upgrades, such as a new 16-inch center display. While not a full replacement for larger SUVs, the updates aim to keep the Model Y competitive in the EV market. TSLA stock has a Hold consensus rating, with a current price target suggesting a 10.47% downside risk. Tesla's (TSLA) popular Model Y is getting a new look for 2026, and the key upgrade is the return of the third‑row seating option in the U.S. The seven-seat setup is now back on the EV giant's online configurator, making it available again for the first time since it was removed in earlier updates. ### Claim 70% Off TipRanks Premium - Unlock hedge fund-level data and powerful investing tools for smarter, sharper decisions - Stay ahead of the market with the latest news and analysis and maximize your portfolio's potential The new third row is offered exclusively on the Premium All-Wheel-Drive Long Range variant and costs an additional $2,500. As before, the seats are compact and best suited for children, with limited leg and headroom, a design choice that keeps Model Y's footprint unchanged while still boosting passenger capacity. Beyond seating, Tesla has rolled out a handful of design and tech upgrades for the 2026 model. Premium trims now feature a black headliner, a darker 20-inch Helix wheel option, and a new 16-inch high‑resolution center display, previously seen in China on the Model Y Performance and Model YL. ## **2026 Model Y to Help TSLA Stay Competitive** The return of the third row is helpful for buyers who need extra seats occasionally without upgrading to a bigger SUV. While it is not a full replacement for a true three-row model, the new model adds flexibility for families with small kids. While Tesla's 2026 Model Y refresh is not a dramatic overhaul, the combination of added seating, upgraded tech, and cleaner interior styling helps keep the company's most popular SUV competitive in an increasingly crowded EV market. ## **Is TSLA Stock a Buy?** Turning to Wall Street, TSLA stock has a Hold consensus rating based on 12 Buys, 11 Holds, and seven Sells assigned in the last three months. At $401.93, the average Tesla price target implies a 10.47% downside risk. The stock has gained 41.67% over the past six months. ### Related Stocks - [TSLA.US - Tesla](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLA.US.md) - [TSDD.US - GraniteShares 2x Short TSLA Daily ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSDD.US.md) - [TSLL.US - Direxion Daily TSLA Bull 2X Shares](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLL.US.md) - [TSLQ.US - AXS TSLA Bear Daily ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLQ.US.md) - [09366.HK - XI2CSOPTSLA-U](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/09366.HK.md) - [07766.HK - XL2CSOPTSLA](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07766.HK.md) - [07366.HK - XI2CSOPTSLA](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07366.HK.md) - [TSLR.US - GraniteShares 2x Long TSLA Daily ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLR.US.md) ## Related News & Research | Title | Description | URL | |-------|-------------|-----| | 马斯克情人节 “挥刀自宫”！为了一己私利，还是造福全人类？ | 马斯克宣布特斯拉将在情人节停售 FSD，改为 199 美元/月的会员模式，永久使用权需在此之前支付 8000 美元。特斯拉 AI5 芯片设计接近完成，算力提升 5 倍，目标是降低成本和功耗，支持未来的无人驾驶出租车和机器人。特斯拉还计划建设 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/275680196.md) | | 100GW，远超美国地面需求！特斯拉要扩的光伏产能，在为太空数据中心准备 | 大摩认为，特斯拉意在构建独立能源闭环。该产能主要服务于 “太空数据中心” 及保障供应链安全，而非单纯售卖组件。尽管面临数百亿美元资本开支，但 IRA 法案补贴和垂直整合优势有望带来千亿营收，并显著提升能源业务估值。 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/275545898.md) | | 马斯克的 “新大饼”：月球基地 | 马斯克以 “月球基地 Alpha” 新叙事替代火星计划，拟在月球制造并发射 AI 卫星以突破算力瓶颈。此举旨在整合 SpaceX 发射能力与 xAI 算力需求，打造差异化估值，虽技术壁垒极高，但为合并实体注入增长想象。 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/275864051.md) | | 分析 - 马斯克推动 SpaceX，贝索斯推进 Blue Origin，美国亿万富翁与中国竞赛登月 | 美国亿万富翁埃隆·马斯克和杰夫·贝索斯在太空竞赛中的竞争正在加剧，两人都希望在中国计划于 2030 年进行的月球任务之前将人类送回月球。马斯克的 SpaceX 专注于建立月球基地，并计划进行 1 万亿美元的首次公开募股，而贝索斯的蓝色起源则 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/275888738.md) | | 特斯拉 1 月份的销量下降了 17%，但其市场份额可能有所上升 | 特斯拉在美国的电动车销售在 1 月份下降了 17%，这一趋势因联邦电动车税收抵免的结束而加剧。尽管如此，特斯拉可能获得了市场份额，因为美国整体电动车销售下降超过 20%。公司已降低关键车型的价格，以吸引在需求疲软情况下的买家。特斯拉在 20 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/275942023.md) | --- > **Disclaimer**: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.
