Interior rattles

[J3ThePainless]

Hello everyone I am absiabsolu loving my new model 3 but there are a few noses that are bothering me.

First when the driver seat is all the way back it makes a squeaking and popping noise when turning. I am 6'3" so I really need it to be back all the way.

Second there is a rattle coming from my center armrest when I go over any bump.

Does anyone know of a way to tighten the armrest or to prevent the bumpers on the see the from squeaking when all the way back?

It's a constant battle with rattles for me. I have given up. Sound like a really cheap old commuter car from the inside.

I did during my appointment, they said that it is a known issue and to not set the seat all the way back. I was hoping someone here had found a way to fix it.

That's seriously not acceptable. I'd see if you can escalate directly to Tesla. Hopefully, they documented the issue so you have a record of the service center stating they "recreated your issue but can't fix it."

So they have fixed the seat popping several times by tightening the bolts on them but it keeps on coming back after driving for a while with a 210lb+ person sitting in it. Anyway has anyone else had this issue and do you think a replacement of the seats would fix this?

Sounds like the threads are stripped. Replacement seats wont fix this - replacement tracks and/or mounting may. Schedule service again.
