A friend just shared this with me, and I couldn't help but laugh! TIL Nikola Tesla openly expressed disgust for overweight people. Once, he fired his secretary solely because of her weight. • /r/todayilearned

I'll definitely keep you posted as the situation progresses. The ball is in their court currently, so once I get more details I'll post them.

A friend of mine used to work with Elon, so I leverage that relationship to get the contact details.

Update on this situation. Got an email from Jon McNeill (President, Global Sales and Service), in which he stated: Clearly the SC manager who informed me of the 250 lbs limit (and indirectly asked for my weight) was completely off based (and out of line, as Tesla's leadership agrees per my...

Hey all – quick update on this thread. Elon connected me with a regional service manager who called and profusely apologized how I was treated. He indicated that there was no such weight limit, and that the issue was actually something they needed to fix. He mentioned they were committed to...

I had a loaner MX for that week (which was a sweet looking White P90D with the cold weather package). Didn't observe this issue the entire time I had that loaner vehicle. Wonder if the cold weather package has better/more secured seats?! :)

It's definitely rocking, not flex of the seat. I'd estimate (from the video the ranger took) that the movement is around 1-2 centimeters of movement when observing at the top of the seat (which means the movement at the base of the seat is less, but still too significant to be just flex). It's...

Yes; they had the vehicle for a week, even replaced parts of the seat previously. However, the issue persists. They sent the rangers out to my office to take the video and assess the situation at my convenience.

If you read the full thread, you'll see that the weight discussion happened over the phone with the SC manager, not in the service invoice. I shared this screenshot to show that they observed the movement and suggested replacement (I don't believe they would have suggested a full replacement of...

I would suggest you let them know; if more people raise the issue, then perhaps they'll recognize it's a design flaw or manufacturing defect that needs to be addressed.

Thanks, me too. Stay tuned for updates.

No need to apologize! And sorry if my reply was terse; just wanted to quickly get that posted for you to see :) I sure hope so. I'll update this thread with progress on my situation as it evolves.

I'm not kidding. See screenshot of email below:

Elon replied to my email! I basically asked if this 250 lbs limit was true, and if so, why he would recommend his vehicle for someone like Kristian Nairn who is publicly known to be heavier than that limit. I also asked him if he agreed that it was right for his SC manager to ask me my weight...

I've emailed Elon; let's see if he responds!
