yep - and pass the popcorn pleaseHopefully Tesla fixes their seats, though. While I do enjoy a good rocking chair, I'm not sure how well it'll work in my car.

That's the HIPPO's wife.Oh, I know HIPAA (very well ). I was asking about HIPPA.
A friend of mine used to work with Elon, so I leverage that relationship to get the contact details.Can we get back to the most important issue here: How does one email Elon Musk directly?
I'll definitely keep you posted as the situation progresses. The ball is in their court currently, so once I get more details I'll post them.@boardworks If you hear more I would greatly appreciate it if you could share, I'm torn because I see two sides to this issue. 1) The engineers may have truly designed it for <250# people and are now scrambling to not say that any more than they already have and still deal with the issue. 2) I'm personally over 250 and have owned a considerable number of cars over the years and I don't recall any others rocking (well, at least not any that I couldn't attribute to rotten floor pans in the clunkers I drove as a teenager). I'm impatiently waiting on my X to arrive and hoping this isn't an issue for me.
I'm quite aware that I'm extremely overweight and I'm not going to try to convince anyone it's muscle. Maybe this can be my motivation.
Moving off of that aspect of the topic, is anyone aware of any other manufacturer that has a weight limit (of any value)?
If 250 isn't the number, is it 300? 400? 900? 1400? Obviously there is a limit somewhere.
The motors are capable not sure that is the issue here, the rocking could be from something as simple as an incorrectly sized bushing in the seat track or other part that is out of spec or that wears prematurely with "heavy" use. May also be completely unrelated to the weight of the occupant. I have had riders who exceed 250lbs and have not experienced any rocking whatsoever.I agree that 250 cannot be an accurate limit on seats. If an average 50 mph head on crash generates approximately 15 g's, that would make even a 100lb Victoria Secret model suddenly weigh 1,500 lbs. Also note that Greco child car seats are rated at 47 g's. Therefore perhaps the Tesla seats have an "operating weigh limit" of 250 lbs as far as the seat movement motor but this would have nothing to do with the rating of what the actual seat will hold. The guy who said his seat rocks must have an actual defect in the seat. If there is an issue with the motor, Tesla will simply need to upgrade to heavy duty, high weight motor such as used by Mercedes and Dodge.
