Model 3 Seat memory restore positioning issue

[No42]

I am using easy entry feature on my Model 3 and noticed that after few days of usage it starts to deviate from original saved position when restoring my profile.
Over time after multiple ins and outs when seat goes back and force, it gets more obvious, so I need to re-save the seat/steering position again.
I have verified the issue using a tape to mark seat position and I see the shift from original position over time.
This btw applies to steering as well but less noticeable.

Did you guys notice similar problem?

My S does this as well.

My S does this as well.

I somehow read this as my a$$ does this as well...weird!

Yep I’ve noticed the same thing.

Yeah, I was starting to think I was going crazy, needing to reposition my seat so frequently...

I just thought I was getting shorter over time since my seat gets slightly farther away from the pedals after each position restore.

I have also experienced this. It seemed to happen a lot when I initially got my model 3 but then nto as much lately. Or maybe I'm just noticing it less. Weird bug though for sure.

Are there any people who don't have that issue?
Trying to figure out if this is sort of deffec with limited set or a general issue at all.

OK So it’s not just me . I have to reset the seat and steering about once a week and re-save.

Have any of you who experienced this filed a bug report?

I have the same issue. Seat starts to feel too far back after a few days. I may give up on easy entry.

 

[kenrl]

Same issue. I complain every time my car is in for service. Occasionally, the problem will go away for a few days but always returns.

 

[gizmoboy]

Same issue with me on both My old Model S and both Model 3s.

 

[Moeshorzon]

Same issue here. I just gave up on Easy Entry.

 

[bolton2160]

Same here. I'm glad to see i'm not the only one. My wife had me convinced I was crazy.

Another option to consider...get your settings how you want it and then create another profile and save so you have 2 with the same settings. That way if one happens to change you have the other too. Not ideal but an option.

Started to happen again after 42.4 update.

The seats not staying where you saved them are coming close to driving me completely crazy. I have to constantly readjust them to the point where it’s maddening. My wife thought I’ve developed some sort of OCD (which would be a first for me), until I started using a tape measurer to prove to her the car was moving the seat on me.

They absolutely do not restore correctly. They’ll be times when I adjust only the steering wheel tilt, hit restore, and then the entire seat moves into a new position even though nothing on the seat was changed. Other times restore will work perfectly fine. There doesn’t seem to be a rhyme or reason as to why or when it works and doesn’t. I don’t use easy entry, but my wife and I both drive the car and switch back and forth between our two profiles.

I tried creating a new profile every time I made a change, to see if it helped, but it didn’t.

My plan going forward is to not touch the seat at all and not let anyone else drive the car (apologies to my wife), so we never have to use restore, and see if the seat stays where it is. Hopefully it’s not moving overnight when the car sleeps and it’s only an issue of restoring itself to a certain position.

Totally defeats the purpose of having driver profiles to save, but I feel it’s better to lose that and keep my sanity.

Would love to know if this is a software issue, or if someone has had this remedied by a service appointment (some kind of seat calibration?). Would happily bring it in to be fixed if it’s something that they can actually fix.

Mine has been fine since I disabled easy entry. My wife rare,y drives the car, so profiles aren’t often switched.

Tesla is probably timing the seat-motor runs to reposition the seat. Variances in friction will make that method inaccurate. After several seat position changes the errors add up. Without some type of seat position sensor, it’ll be hard to fix this.
