    WTB Black Next Gen Seats (front pair)

    I am very tired, so is my butt, from the gen 1 seats in my 2014 MS85. Looking for a pair of front seats to replace. I really like the Recaro Next Gen seats that are in the D and P cars. Thanks!

    Driver Seat Wear and Wrinkles after 4k miles....

    Take a look at my driver seat, a couple of wrinkles on the bottom, is this normal, or could it be premature seat wear? Will Tesla consider this a defect? or is this normal? How are your guys seats? Sept 2018 Model 3 Performance+.

    Is this normal? Or, defect? Leathers seats wrinkle.

    I've owned the MR3 for about a month. I just noticed that the front passenger leather seat has some wrinkles in it. It doesn't get much use, especially considering the driver's seat has no such wrinkles. Is this expected? Or, yet another service appointment?

    Next Generation Seat Swap

    I have a 2013 Model S P85 and the seats are terrible. I purchased a pair of Black front Next Generation seats from a private party but they are too new. My car can only swap for 2015 Seats from a Model S. If you have a 2015 Model S and youre interested in new Next Generation seats, lets make a...

    When will Tesla create luxury COMFORTABLE seats?

    I love the X but come on! SO hard and narrow, even for a small female like myself. Please take a cue from Lexus and Mercedes in ergonomics!

    Model 3 seats are horrible compromise decision

    Let me say that I can't complain about my M3 AWD as it has been amazing so far but the seats are a complete failure. I'm not sure where to begin but after a 400 mile drive on both highways and twisty roads I can tell you Tesla is not ready to build car seats and they need to go back to buying...

    Changing seats 6 to 7

    Has any one have ideas on changing seats from a 6 seat to 7 seat config. In Australia 6 seat config seems to be the most popular. If one came up at the right price would I be able to change to 7 seat config ( I need 7 seat )

    Hello all, Seeking some help / advice here. Yesterday, I was working around the house and was wearing an old pair of jeans. Come to find out that one of the metal grommets on the jeans was deformed, and caused several bad scratches on my driver seat leather! While it might sound trivial to...

    Driver Seat Trying to Kill me

    slightly clickbait but is anyone else’s X constantly trying to squash them into the steering wheel with the seat every time they enter or exit the car? It’s like easy entry sensors reversed and instead of reclining and lowering it’s going up, forward, and then tilted as far forward as possible...

    Head rests - so narrow and far forward

    The headrests are one of the strangest design decisions in my opinion. They jut forward into your head and are extremely narrow. I think they would be especially annoying for a front seat passenger who wanted to recline and take a nap to balance their head on that 6 inch wide section. I read...

    Driver Seat Adjustment

    The my drivers seat does not go as far upright as the passenger seat, i.e. it's always a bit too reclined. I took it to Tesla and they reset the seat once and all was good. Now a couple months later it is happening again. I have Easy Entry setup, not sure if this is a cause, however, even...

    Suncream Stains on Model 3 Seats

    Unbeknownst to me, a friend wore Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-touch sunscreen, an 85+ helloplex broad spectrum uva-uvb while a passenger in my Model 3 last Thursday. He wore a tee and shorts and so the lotion was transferred to all surfaces of the black seats and arm rests, leaving white stains on...

    Very uncomfortable bottom seat cushion

    I have never seen this issue in a forum. I can't believe that I am the only Model S owner (2017) that experiences pain in the butt when driving over 1 hour. This pain is extreme and not just inconvenient. The seat frame under the vegan leather and padding consists of a metal platform from the...

    Fixing/Changing Seat Ergonomics

    So, there's no two ways around it, my Model X seats are not great. I've been in touch with a couple of local upholstery shops to see if it's possible to change the lumbar support and extend the seat base for better thigh support, and maybe look at any other issues. Curious if anyone else has...

    Heated Seats last exactly 20 mins. . .

    My heated seats run great for about 20 mins and then they fizzle out. I tried to see if anyone else has observed this exact problem and I couldn't seem to find it. . . I want my seat to run and run hard until I tell it not to. . . Instead, it heats for exactly 20 mins and then starts...

    buying a test drive vehicle with no tow package

    1) Is there any downside to buying a test drive vehicle with 2,000 miles? 2) test drive vehicle built 9/17 after the Tow package standard (7/17), but doesnt have it. How hard is it to convince OA that it should be included. 3) between ultra white and cream seats, which one is better with kids...

    Are your Ultra White seats defective?

    Hi all, Thought I'd post my recent experience with the ultra white seats. I'd suggest checking yours to make sure they aren't showing this type of ware and if they are get in touch with your service center to have them replaced.

    This entire set of seats (front and rear with all related) came out of my 10/2014 build P85+.

Look amazing but I wanted Next Gen Seats for bolsters so...

    Flame retardants used in seats

    When Tesla replaced their leather seat covers with polyurethane, I wondered whether the polyurethane was treated with flame retardants, since they are more flammable than leather. As a government web site (Flame Retardants) states, there are substantial toxicity concerns associated with...

    I was at a graphics and sign shop this morning and the owner stopped me to talk about my Tesla. He said that he's making the signs for all the locations of Futuris the manufacturers of Tesla's chairs, and i was like; "Are you sure, I thought it was Recaro"? the website shows it all though...

    Seat doesn't auto adjust based off key fob anymore

    This just started happening recently, the seats don't adjust based of which key fob is unlocking the car. It used to, but now it doesn't for either my fob or my wife's. Before, I would see the seat moving as I opened the car door, now nothing happens. When exiting, I usually choose my exit...

    I placed the order for my 60D with premium seats back on December 26th. I was uncertain what would arrive since Tesla discontinued the perforated seats between the time I placed the order and took delivery. I had inquired and nobody could tell me for sure what I should expect. I took delivery on...

    Do customers like the folding 2nd row seats?

    To my surprise, I didn't see a thread on this when I did a search of this forum. Who knows, maybe I just missed it. A huge complaint that got tons of attention in the first few months of Model X was about how the 2nd row seats don't fold flat. However, Tesla now has a fold fat 2nd row seat...

    I am 6'2 and have a 2013 Model S and I get cramped up legs when driving it. My Dodge Charger has enough room where I can extend my legs out fully and not get cramping. I would say if my driver seat went back 2 more inches it would be perfect. Has anyone figured out how to do this? I imagine...

    Difference between Multi-Pattern & Next Generation Seats?

    Can some please explain the differences between the regular Multi-Pattern Black Seats and Next Generation Seats? I'm looking for the justification of the extra US$2500 (or in my case 2800 EUR). Did anyone compare the two in real life? Is it worth the extra?
