Next Gen Seat Heaters - Worthless

[lucy]

My co-worker wondered if I would stop haunting this site once I finally got my Tesla.

Threads like this are why I'm still here.

This s#!t is hilarious. You guys crack me up.
Thanks for all the laughs, whether intended or not.

Oregon is so exotic.

ain't it the truth...
Cow tipping season is over, no snow for any seasonal activities (at least in my area).
It's nice to read the forums without the edge of desperation and anxiety I had before getting my MS.

no worries, If we can't take a joke we need to move elsewhere, especially in the run up to the presidential caucuses!

I've found the seat heat to be ok, granted I've had them mostly on "3" (mostly).
Plus my big a$$ covers the entire seat, so insulating it and preventing any excess from escaping into the cabin. :biggrin:

That said, I was a little surprised that there were only 3 settings, my last few cars have had much greater adjustability in the heat settings: 0-6...

LMAO! [emoji23]

 

[lucy]

laugh now.
it'll be your turn soon enough.

bwahahaha!!!

It's take a while, and it's only been 60º here mostly, but after about 10 minutes, it warms up quite nicely and we don't need the heat at all. But, it's usually 60º here. SoCal Disclaimer.

And say "Hi" to Bernie for us.

No can do! Bernie is a rock star, his rallies are standing room only, can't even get close.

Wonder how Sasso's seat heaters are working?

cool article & guy!
See, that's what I'm saying, Bernie's supporters are super committed.

Plus at least 2 (maybe 5, if he got the winter package) have warm butts!

I feel the bern on half my butt. Wish I did on the rest of the seat. Maybe Elon just doesn't want next gen people to feel the full bern.

It could be his kids aren't big enough to "need" the heaters on the whole seat, so they haven't told him of the shortcoming.

I've got a loaner with the next-gen seats, and compared to my plain jane textile seats, the next-gen seat heaters don't even feel like they're on!

Hasn't been very cold (yet) but the amount of heat seems to be OK there more stuff to heat up with leather vs cloth. I know the pattern will probably get annoying once I'm getting into a car that's at 0F.

Could be a) they sit in the back and the heaters are different b) they're in the rear facing seats because they live in SoCal where they don't need heaters or c) take his new (X) ride with better heaters.

My next gen seat heater works perfectly. Even at level-1 it is already quite warm in 30 seconds.

My experience over the first 3 days of ownership is that the seat heating in the NGs is adequate for me. They do not cover as much area, nor do they get as hot as the other two cars in our household (VW and BMW). Both of the Germans have 5 settings. The first three seem to coincide with 1-3 on the Tesla, and then 4 and 5 are hotter. My bigger issue with NGs is that no matter how much I adjust them, I can't get comfortable.
