Y'ALLLL the new Model X refresh has ventilated front seats! Sorry, I just realized that

Not clear whether ventilated seats just means air circulation, or “cooled seats”. (Probably only air circulation as if the seats were cooled, it would have said heated / cooled seats” ).

Cooled how? How else would you ‘cool’ them? Water cooled?! I read it the same way, ventilated seats are back, but we definitely need a hands-on review for all the details.

they aren't "cooled" at least not in my 2018 P100D.

they are ventilated seats and they work best when in use with A/C.

There is a difference between blowing air conditioned (cooled air) through the seats vs just blowing non cooled air. Like having your vent fan on and blowing air vs having your air conditioning on.

My X currently has HVAC vents underneath the front seats, blowing heated/cooled air into the rear seat passenger footwell. Imagine the vented seats can tap off this if Tesla wants to cool the seats as well when AC is on.

The heated windshield catches my attention. With the Model X’s fogging issue, actual heat strips in the windshield glass, like in a rear wind defroster, would seem to be a great improvement.

I noticed the heated windshield point as well.

My old Evoque had those heat strips in the front windshield. Took about one day to get used to it, and then it never bothered me again - but having an actual heated front window (in the winter) was fantastic.
