My understanding is they are exactly the same seats except for color and the Y's being mounted 6" above the floor.Had a 23 M3 RWD black seats for a whole year, no issues with seats. Traded it in for a new 24 MY RWD white seats, worst seat I’ve sat on (both driver and passenger). Back pain, butt pain, leg pain. I’m 5’11 195. Wifey is smaller, same complaints. Tried different positions, still no improvement. Have you guys been reporting it to Tesla? Any service appts? Any hope?
I rebuild Tesla seats, I've done it for myself and helped a few others. I've not seen the 24 but via videos I learned they completely redesigned the seats for 24. I believe they tried to make them more "snug". My guess is that they made the previous problems worse. That's terrible. I have no access to a 24 seat, so I haven't been able to experiment with them. My solution to the M3 before 24 was to basically build the foam up to get our buttocks up high enough that the metal frame isn't killing us on the hips and sides of the legs, towards the back. The upper seat back I changed as well. I bent the headrest back, removed the OEM lumbar support, inserted foam blocks for my own lumbar and another to "flatten out" the middle / upper part for my back and shoulder room.Had a 23 M3 RWD black seats for a whole year, no issues with seats.

There are a couple of threads on this topic, so yes some have experienced it. I moved your new thread into the most active discussion on this topic.Has anyone else experienced this?
I have a 23 MY LR with white seats. I'm 6'-0", 230 lbs. and I find the seats comfortable. Probably just as comfortable as any other car I've owned.Had a 23 M3 RWD black seats for a whole year, no issues with seats.

Similar personal dimensions and same opinion. If I raise them very high, like for my bad knee, they feel bouncy but otherwise good.I have a 23 MY LR with white seats. I'm 6'-0", 230 lbs. and I find the seats comfortable. Probably just as comfortable as any other car I've owned.
My butt would be sore in ANY car after a 5 hr road trip.I haven’t had any comfort issues on day trips, but I did find my butt a bit sore after a 5 hour road trip. I tried a generic gel grid seat cushion off Amazon and it took care of the problem quite easily. Recommended.
It's OK to say you are obese, like me.We have 2 2023 Model Ys. Only differences are my wife’s is an Austin built with 19” Gemini wheels. Mine is a Freemont built with 20” wheels. I can’t find a way to match the seating positions on both cars. I’m the most comfortable in mine but I can’t get comfortable in my wife’s. It seems like I sit higher in hers no matter where I position the seat. Plus the side bolsters on both push against my hips almost like I have my wallet in my back pocket, which I don’t. Maybe my butt is too wide for the seats. I’m 6’ 245 lbs with a 42” belt size. Not a small guy.
well, I am 5'-8" and 215 lbs.......I too can not find a "sweet spot" for either the bottom seat or the backrest......The bottom is too short and cuts into my legs....The back rest seems to have a "bubble" in the small of my back and I cant seem to get it to move a=in any direction....Even using the smiths for lumbar support can not make it go away.....Sorry to hear. I’m 6’, 260 pounds (big guy) and it’s literally the most comfortable seat I’ve ever had in a car. Agree with others up top - maybe look to have the platform lowered?
We shouldn't have to 'rebuild' a seat on a new $50-60k car. 2000 miles on my '24 Y and I'm not sure I can live with this car solely due to the seat. Everyday I drive, I'm experience neck, back and shoulder pain. most seats of any car I've ever owned (I'm 58). 6'2" 240 lbsI rebuild Tesla seats, I've done it for myself and helped a few others.

I think the design is defective. Worst driver seat I've ever driven.What is it exactly you think Tesla is going to fix? Do you think your seat is defective?
