Tesla just released patent for refrigerated seat base

Well need 4680 even more to power the refrigerated seat base. Or are they just trying to cool our brains.

Cooled seats seems like an alternative to ventilated seats. I would like it for the black seats in our MY LR.

The new patent is to use liquid cooling run through the seats as opposed to resistive heating which is comparable to the savings the heat pump has given Tesla. Tesla continues innovation with new refrigerant-based seats

I wonder if you'd be able to run the seat heaters and coolers at the same time.

I hope this coolant doesn't leak or someone will have a hard time explaining it wasn't him

Jeez - even our Plugin minivan has cooled (AC) ventilated seats. Our 2017 Model X seats were just air vented, but it went away (Tesla rep said) due to costs/problems. Wonder if this new method will ever actually hit the market. Or - will it be like the already long forgotten liquid cooled super charger tech. Made the cable nice & thin & flexible, but ... not so practical.
