New front seat design now shipping!
- Thread starter Keith909man
- Start date
From the pics it looks like the current ones are more padded with thicker side bolstering, along with an adjustable headrest. It almost seems like the 2 pics should be flipped if they're "updated"!

So many changes to X are basically downgrades. I hope these seats are more comfortable, because they certainly LOOK cheaper.
My sales advisor also told me that they will not actually have pockets like the article said they would. He did think the headrest would still be movable. Of course take what a sales advisor said with a grain of salt.
Probably to simplify the production line and cut down on repairs to electrical items (think headrests, vented seats and active rear spoiler). But you are right, the X should have these types of "luxuries" to differentiate from the lower priced offerings.

I am not sure if it needs more legroom. I have rode in the back seat a lot and 6ft tall - I like the back seat better than the front when a rear facing child seat is installed.
It does not look like it but if it allowed the front seat to move back an inch more - it would be one of my favorite improvements (provided the seat is as comfortable).

- Removed ventilated seats
- Removed motorized rear spoiler
- Removed Model X badging at falcon wing door opening
- Removed interior configuration options such as Matte Obeche Wood
- Removed Alcantara from dash
- Threatened to switch headliner from Alcantara, thankfully that never happened
- Removed lower white dash panels for awhile, and now still sometimes building cars with black lower dash when it should be white
- Cheaper rear floor shelf
- Quieter door release for front doors
- Falcon wing door interior switches instead of levers
- Falcon wing door sensor added so it doesn't close if someone is standing under it
You are also missing the significant improvement to driving efficiency with Ravens (this is huge), new MCU, new front motors, regen to stop. The current cars are definitely an improvement over older cars.

For sure. But they'd be even better without the penny pinching downgrades. Being low volume cars, it seems Tesla could afford to keep the nice-to-haves. Shave pennies on the high volume cars.

Hi, I am soon taking delivery of a Model X here in Switzerland, which according to the VIN (10th position letter "L") is a 2020 model year. Does that mean it has the new seats?
Thanks,
Thanks,

Tesla is not like other car makers. There are no model years where they introduce new features. They start putting new features into cars as the feature becomes available. Examples of this include upgrading from MCU1 to MCU2 in March 2018. Cars made in early March had MCU1, cars made late in March and beyond had MCU2. Cars with MCU2 received support for things like YouTube, previous cars did not, so this can have downstream impact.
It would be nice to see some real pictures and impressions of the new seats. Anyone taken delivery yet?
From the owner's manual on Tesla website -" Model X seats include integrated head supports that cannot be adjusted or removed " 
No more headrest adjustment in new seats.
No more headrest adjustment in new seats.

Correct.. four-way round button only operates lumber support now.
