On the contrary, these seats work exactly as intended for us. We need the ability to carry four kids for school carpool, and hated the thought of getting a minivan or larger SUV just to accommodate the two or three mornings a week during the school year when we need the extra seating. We park in a garage and temps are always reasonable in the morning in Northern California, so there's no issue at all for carpools, nor for the occasional afternoon playdate or such requiring the jumpseats. We don't use them on longer trips, in part because we don't want the kids that isolated from us and in part our younger daughter is prone to carsickness, which seems to be heightened facing backwards. Nonetheless, the jumpseats serve their purpose beautifully for us.I didn't get rear facing seats for several reasons, not the least of which is I thought they were a gimmick to allow Tesla to make a marketing claim (7 passengers). They have always felt like an afterthought to me and this overheating/ventilation issue confirms that.
