I just picked up a new to me 2017 90D a few days ago and of course two days into ownership one of the rear seats gets stuck down.
I figure, hey, this is now an 8 year old platform. Surely someone has fixed one of these. And it would appear that no, that is not the case.
The official word from Tesla is to replace the entire third row seat assembly.
I’m happy to say that’s not necessary and the fix is pretty easy, even if your seat is stuck in the down position. I just don’t want to waste my time making a write up if this is info that already exists or if nobody is interested.
To be clear, this is not “something is stuffed in the folded seat and it thinks it’s open” and it’s not “my harness came off”. This is the one where the seat makes noise but does not unlatch.
Is this still a thing with the X? If it is, is the fix from Tesla still to replace the entire seat? If there’s interest I’m happy to detail the fix.
