    Elon says the first gen Model S seats are the worst seats he's ever sat in and calls them "Stone turd stools".

    What I've said all along. Now said by the man himself. I think Tesla should replace at least the 2 front row seats in all owners first gen S's courtesy of this video itself lol

    I can agree my old 2014 P85 seats were basically like sitting on cardboard. My new LR+ seats on the other hand are much improved

    Seats, of course, are a personal matter. I know many complained about the first-gen S seats, but my wife loved them in her 2012 S, and hated the 2nd-gen seats in my 2015 S. I preferred the 2nd-gens around town and for spirited driving, but on long trips I too preferred the first-gen in her car. (Both were better than the Roadster!)

    I think what we have now (2017 X seats, and 2018 Model 3 seats) are better than both the first-gen and second-gen. My wife agrees on the X seats, but not on the 3's seats. And so it goes, before I buy a car I always have to get my wife to sit in it for an hour first...
