Model S/X & Gigafactory

Model Y

More people checking out the third row. A 5' 4" woman fits well there, her 6' husband touches the roof with his head. Another couple, 5’6 and wife 5’2”, tried it with a 6’ tall passenger in the 2nd row, and a 6’ tall driver and felt they had adequate legroom. See pictures in the tweets!
 

Both cars were driven on the same commute, in similar temperatures, one day apart. In the graph, the Y's efficiency shows up at 101% vs. the 3 at 73%
