Passenger lumbar support missing from new MY

[badohmen]

I wonder who is the last vin to get it? Seems like the breaking point is right around 185xxx?

I took delivery of a 1871xx VIN today (LR blue/white) and to my utter amazement, the car has functional passenger lumbar. I feel like I won the lumbar lottery. From what I was reading 186xxx and 187xxx cars were on the bubble, and I recall someone with a 186xxx VIN that did not have it.

So there must have been some build batching or randomness as they turned off the lumbar faucet.

Do us a favor and report back in a month the number of times it was used.

Our 2020 has it and has NEVER been used. But an easy solution would be to bundle it with some other features and create two price points for folks who have different needs and tastes. I’ll give Elon a free one, he can name these option packages Level I and Level II, see what I did there.

My 2020 has these. Don’t think I’ve ever adjusted it before.

Premium and full premium which they have now.

People accepting delivery of new MY are getting cars without lumbar support on the passenger seat. See this:

Great, so there's just a dead circle now to taunt new owners. Just imagine if they bring it back a few months later..

Yeah that’s the part I hate more than the fact that it was removed in the first place. I wouldn’t mind it so much if not for that lame blank. Also knowing my luck it will come back in July.

Elon said that lumbar removed because cost saving. So there is no reason that is coming back.

Well, that's not the only reason - his tweet - "Moving lumbar was removed only in front passenger seat of 3/Y (obv not there in rear seats). Logs showed almost no usage. Not worth cost/mass for everyone when almost never used. Prices increasing due to major supply chain price pressure industry-wide. Raw materials especially." So even if cost were to improve, it still wouldn't come back.

Shaved a whole 6 oz of mass! This is a huge win.

Anyone have any luck with any type of reimbursement? Whether it's important to you or not, they should be delivering what was ordered to the exact spec. If they cannot, then it's on them to address it. Tesla is not my friend or enemy, it's not about cutting them slack or being picky. It's a business transaction at the end of the day,

I know.

Data Point: Build Date : 5/1/20 VIN 183K... Lumbar included
Just took delivery.

It's funny because a lot of people were waiting for the new console, heated steering wheel, and new headlights. I bet they never figured that they could lose out on radar and lumbar support on the passenger's side. Glad I took delivery in early March and didn't have to deal with this nonsense.

I can guarantee nobody has ever touched the pax lumbar control in my Y. In fact, when this thread started I said to myself "oh, I have that?"

C'mon man - you think there was an "exact spec" for this feature??

 

[GlmnAlyAirCar]

I will be happy to sell anyone my pax side controller for $100...the same as the deposit you would otherwise lose.

Is 12-way adjustable power front seats listed at the time of order not enough? Because we're now at 12 for the driver and 8 for the passenger. BMW couldn't follow through with their spec and just offered a reimbursement. Like I said, the onus is on the party that couldn't deliver and BMW owned up to it.

Do you think Tesla would still give me the car if I'm $200 short on my down-payment and they just happen to find out at the time of delivery? $200 is nothing compared to the price of the car. Just like the this feature is miniscule on the grand scale of all the features in a model 3/Y.

Nice. Pretty certain in the coming months RPM will work with Hansshow to sell the same thing for those missing adjustable lumbar. But in the meantime, folks who want it will have to get creative and crowdsource parts.

Is the missing lumbar support on the passenger only? Or both? does the driver side still have it?
