A luxury car must have this option. In two years when I trade my X in for another X, I expect it to have this option. I hope it's just a glitch. My only complaint with my 2013 S was the lack of cooled seats.

Same.
While I considered asking for a special order to do PUP but without the perforated seats on our Model X order two weeks ago, 1) that's a hassle and takes me away from the ease of one-click car ordering, and 2) there's a chance they slip up and the factory misses the exception and still builds it with perforated seats and I'm stuck with it.
With two young kids, my wife and I very much do not want the perforated seats and it would have been a deal breaker to end up with them.
On a side note, are there people who will not consider a Tesla because of the lack of ventilated seats?

A luxury car with no option for ventilated seats. PUP price remains the same with the removal. More profits yay.

I remember a few people who were delayed their orders a few months because they thought ventilated seats were coming. I would be surprised if anyone would not order the car at all because of it. Of course if you believe Tesla is going to release an improved version, perhaps people will wait for that now. It's a never ending game with Tesla.
As someone posted in another thread, perhaps new interior design or options are coming?Can anyone think of a reason why they would do this?
Supplier drama (contractual issues, production quality, financial solvency, etc.).Can anyone think of a reason why they would do this?
I don't trust the results of that video. The thing with suction is that there aren't a million tiny little fans creating suction at every pinhole, there are one or two fans creating a low pressure environment inside the seat. You can't sample a small number of the holes to determine the direction or strength of the airflow. If you have an area of several square feet through which the low pressure can be equalized and you try to cover maybe 1 square foot, there won't be much pressure on that one square foot because the remaining area can still equalize the pressure just fine. You need to cover 90% of the seat as it would be covered if a person was sitting in it, then you can get a reasonable air flow from the remaining 10% to discover its strength and direction.It sounds good in theory, but the amount of suction we get from our X seats is almost unnoticeable. Bjørn has a youtube video where he used a sheet of paper to demonstrate how little suction there was. I think I'd prefer AC seats, but I could be wrong.
