TMI about BMI!!
Or maybe a BLT after ^that^ post.forget BMI lets talk BMT!
New England Journal of Medicine December 2010:
Body-Mass Index and Mortality among 1.46 Million White Adults NEJM
"CONCLUSIONS
In white adults, overweight and obesity (and possibly underweight) are associated with increased all-cause mortality.
All-cause mortality is generally lowest with a BMI of 20.0 to 24.9." NOT junk science.
Notice the male disadvantage ? That would be our unfortunate tendency to store fat in the belly instead of butt and thighs. SighGreat chart - very clear conclusions.
@Vitold you tried to doubt my creds! Board Certified Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon. Google me. I have all the street creds to discuss obesity and morbid obesity. I never used any BMI term or number. No one needs any BMI or BSA yardstick to prove 420 lbs at any height is anything but morbidly obese. Some other poster wants to throw out a HIPPA concern? Hah! The morbidly obese poster gave out his weight. He ain't my patient. Get your facts checked on what constitutes a HIPPA violation or just shut it, you are too ignorant. Lastly some other poster said I was giving advice...WRONGO. Stating a medical fact on someone being morbidly obese is just that. I never advised them to lose weight or diet, so be more cautious on false accusations, they can get you in trouble. I am glad I stimulated this fascinating discussion which was my whole intent. It worked!
Now back to OP...glad John McNeil responded. He too helped me upgrade from 5 to 6 seaters, without any play in my seats at 5'8" 160 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!
Definitive proof that some people think with their stomachs.
Update on this situation. Got an email from Jon McNeill (President, Global Sales and Service), in which he stated:
Clearly the SC manager who informed me of the 250 lbs limit (and indirectly asked for my weight) was completely off based (and out of line, as Tesla's leadership agrees per my conversations with them).
Hey all – quick update on this thread. Elon connected me with a regional service manager who called and profusely apologized how I was treated. He indicated that there was no such weight limit, and that the issue was actually something they needed to fix. He mentioned they were committed to making things right. I'm working with this gentleman and the folks on his team, and will keep you all posted on the remediation. Thanks for the support!

However, I thought the front seats were a traditional design without the pedestal?
It happens, but more frequent in my experience are the people in denial who fervently hope/believe that causation is just spurious correlation.I am constantly amazed how seemingly intelligent people can so easily mistake correlation for causation.

We’ve got a team of engineers working on a root cause for the issue with your seats. I'm not sure where the 250lb reference came from as the seats are rated way above that level.
I've emailed Elon; let's see if he responds!
