    Model Y back seat rattle: SC claims it's by design. Any fix?

    My new Model Y 5 seater has this rattling / vibration noise upon delivery. It comes from where two seat parts contact each other, and it just sounds like leather rubbing against leather / cloth. If I set them to different recline level, or just lay one side down completely, the noise is gone...

    Second row seat error “unlatched”

    Over the past six months, I intermittently received the error message on my mid-row seat not being latched. In some cases, the seat wasn’t all the way back, but none of my controls (side of seat or touchscreen) could push it back more. The next time I turn the car, I could push it back and the...

    2012 Model S Seat retrofit to Lexus IS (HELP NEEDED)

    Hey all, I am currently putting 2 tesla seats into my Lexus IS. I've fabricated seat brackets for them but cannot figure out wiring for the drivers side.

    RCM2_a564 Front left safety restraint system fault

    Hi All, I see a lot of people already had issues "restraint system fault", some solved it by manipulating seats connectors... worst case scenario is to replace the complete seat (which would cost 3740€ here in Belgium !) so before paying for nothing, I'm trying to find what this RCM2_a564...

    Hi Everyone, I recently purchased a '21 Model S Plaid with under 4K miles [have yet to take delivery]. The car was registered in March '22, so it is < 1 year old with 37 months of warranty remaining (given how much it was driven, it is practically brand-new). The original listing, if it is...

    Hello everyone, The leather on my driver's side seat is very degraded. My Tesla Model S P85 was registered in France in March 2014. The seat is original. Having had the opportunity to drive a more recent TMS, I noticed that the seats had been improved: thicker, more comfortable...

    Rear seat squeak - tucking in a blanket stops the squeak

    I have a 2020 Model 3. In the past couple of years the car has developed a squeak in the rear seat. I have discovered that if I put a blanket or towel between the seat cushion and the back cushion of the rear seat the squeak goes away. I think the issue is the seat material rubbing between...

    Ceramic coating interior

    Has anyone ceramic coated the interior of their car? Seats, dash trim, door panels etc. Was it worth it? I’d be interested in what your experiences are as I am considering getting my interior coated.

    Front Driver Seat Side Bolsters Flattening

    Hello, Got my Model 3 LR in May 2022 and have put 10k miles on it. I don't really remember how the front seats felt when I first got the car, but I noticed that the side bolsters on the seat don't hug me much. I noticed this when I got into the front passenger seat and felt how well my sides...

    Car wash damaged my seat.

    Just got my brand new refreshed model x washed for the first time. Took her to a reputable hand wash car wash. Exterior looked pristine! Opened the door to get in and there is a huge gouge in the driver seat. Did they have a knife in their pocket? The owner/manager owned the damaged and is using...

    Squeaky /creaky driver's seat issue identified

    tl;dr Sharing for people with the same issue: M3 driver's seat squeak is due to misaligned/rubbing seat rails. Proper fix is properly align the rails, less ideal/maybe temporary fix is add grease. I've had an annoying creaking noise in the driver side seat that seems to come and go in my 2022...

    Baby Car Seat compatability

    Hello all, I just wanted to post my experience with purchasing a compatible car seat for our baby to go in our Tesla model S 2020 in the UK. We decided to go for the Silver Cross 360 with ISO Fix. The manufacturer mentions in the documentation that the model S is compatible with their seats...

    7 seater- exposed wires under rear seats

    I have a 2022 Model Y 7-seater. Below the second row seats, I see a green/white wire fully exposed and seems it can break off easily from sliding the seat or from people getting into the 3rd row. Does anyone else see these wires under their seats? Tesla Service tells me it is normal. It doesn’t...

    Changing a 2016 Model X from 6-seats to 5-seats?

    My parents have a 2016 Model X in the 6-seat configuration. They are really frustrated that the second row seats don't fold down, so the car doesn't have nearly as much storage/cargo room as they would like. Do the currently Model X's have the same issue? (or did Tesla maybe change it so the...

    Model 3 Seats Causing Excessive Sweating, any breathable cover recommendations?

    Last month I purchased a new Model 3, and I've just picked it up this week. One thing I've noticed when getting out of the car (despite having AC on pretty chilly) is that my back and bum are quite moist from sweat. I did not have this issue in my previous car (a KIA Cerato with fabric/mesh...

    Front seat after warranty replacement

    Hello! I have a question about the replacement of the seats under warranty, because my service has replaced the driver's seat. And now the driver's seat is very different from the passenger's.

    Model Y Headrest Defect (warping)

    Long story short, my driver's side headrest starting warping early last month (around 2500 miles) and got progressively worse.

    Seat crumpled after 6 days (134 miles)

    The drivers seat in my MIC SR+ appears to be crumpling/stitching puckered on the right hand side. It’s only 6 days old and I have only done 134 miles. Does this look right to other new owners or would you set up a service appointment for it?

    Seat swap new Y for old 3?

    Do Model 3 and Model Y use the same front front seats? We have an early Model 3 with the first version seats. We considered a new Model Y as a replacement but do not like the new seats. Is it possible to swap original 3 seats with latest Y seats? Anyone want to swap?

    Brainstorming of race seat build for Model 3

    I was recently actively defending that for dual-use purpose Model 3 doesn't need more than Schroth Quick Fit 4 point harness. While it tremendously better keeps your ass and allows you to turn a wheel instead of holding to it, it's not really helping you to properly feel what happens with a car...

    Swapping executive rear seats for bench style

    I bought a used 2015 Model S P85D with the Executive Rear seats and those seats don't really fit my needs. That is to say having 3 seats in the back is much more important than having 2 extra comfortable ones. Anyway I'm looking at this set of ebay items as it seems like everything I need to...
