My Model 3 SR+ has Heated Seats in the Back

[mikeB87]

From my understanding, that wasn’t suppose to be the case.

Now I’m worried updating to new update will get rid of them.

Thoughts?

Mine has controls for them on the screen app but I haven’t tried them out.

Any update on what happened after the update?

 

[mikeB87]

I have updated the Black Lightning (Wife and Kids picked the name so be nice

as I can tell I still have heated seats in the back. I have not physically tested it. Will do after work. Was in a rush this morning. But the controls for them are still there.

do you also have the streaming music options/browser available too? i wonder if the different trims use slightly different firmware, or is it all the same firmware but just controlled by the option flags on the tesla account?

There are other reports elsewhere on the forum :

• Heated rear seats for SR+
  
• Sr+ Rear Heated Seats?
  
• Etc.

tl;dr Enjoy them while they last, because we're not supposed to have them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

At least it's nice to know we have the hardware. Gives me hope we'll be able to pay to unlock some features in the SR+ in the near future.

i do NOT have browser or music streaming in the car.

Same here. But I do have the heated rear seats.

I read:

Hey Tesla! You gave me something I didn't pay for! Please disable my free heated rear seats!

Maybe we shouldn’t be advertising it hey

Please Tesla leave my back seats alone

I can now confirm seats still heat up after update.

Shhhhhhhhhhhh

Just curious, since I don't have heated rears, what firmware version are you guys on? My SR+ was built in May (and is HW2.5, based on the H264 codec)...sounds like yours were built after, and wondering if maybe the difference is HW3 vs 2.5?

I have a SR+ built in May. The firmware doesn't have an interface to control rear seats, simply a 3 way toggle for front seats. Not sure how you could have this. Which Ver? Can you post a photo of rear seat controls?

 

[9-Volt]

Same build/date for me, and I don't have them either, but this thread shows to access them if we did...

SR+ Access To Rear Heated Seats

 

[Wyman]

So from the mobile app I can only control the front seats. I noticed the app updated recently so they may have closed off that 'feature'.

 

[9-Volt]

For what it's worth, my rears didn't show before the recent app update.

Maybe Tesla figured we didn't need them in Vancouver, or they're just waiting until our Ontario friends might need theirs before hitting the kill switch?!

PS: I note radio silence from The Resistance re: firmware versions!

I can still activate them in the car through the touchscreen. HW3, Build date July 2019. 2019.28.2
