Tesla, billionaire Elon Musk'spurveyor ofelectric cars, is urging Model Y buyers to change their order preferences if they want to jump behind the wheel of the all-electric SUV more quickly.

Drivers who ordered the Model Y Performance or the Model Y Long Range AWD with a seven-seat interior can get the vehicle by March if they downsize to a standard five-seat interior, the digital outlet Electrek reported.

The change will also remove the $3,000 interior upgrade charge from their bills, the automaker wrote in an e-mail to buyers obtained by Electrek. Tesla has also confirmed March delivery for customers who chose the standard interior.
