What to Do If Tesla Seats Are Uncomfortable?

Using a seat cushion is undoubtedly the simplest and most practical solution, as it can effectively address the issue with just a cushion. If the seat has sagged severely, it is advisable not to use a cushion. If you lack experience and technical skills, it's best not to attempt repairs yourself, as you cannot accurately assess the seat's standards. Taking the car to a professional repair shop is a better solution. Purchase a seat of the same model to replace the old one. Buying an identical model allows for a direct replacement of the old seat.

When I first drove the Tesla Model 3, I noticed the seats were too firm, especially during long-distance driving which caused severe back pain. I tried adjusting the seat memory settings through the central control screen several times before finding the right lumbar support angle. Raising the lumbar support position slightly made it feel better. I also bought a memory foam cushion online to place behind my back, which made driving less tiring for my waist. Actually, Tesla seats come with heating function that helps relieve stiffness in winter, but it feels stuffy when it gets hot in summer. Regularly cleaning dust from the seat seams can also make it more comfortable, otherwise it feels like sitting on a rock. Remember to stop and stretch your legs after long drives to avoid cramps. If the problem persists, I recommend visiting a Tesla service center to check the seat frame or install additional lumbar support accessories for a more reliable solution.

After our family bought a Tesla Model Y, my child often complains about the discomfort of the rear seats, especially during long trips. I checked the seat air pressure and padding, and found some areas are sunken, possibly due to design issues or wear. I added a soft cushion, but made sure it doesn't interfere with the proper use of seat belts. When driving, uncomfortable seats can distract attention and potentially cause accidents, so I always have my child take breaks to move around during stops. The seat heating in the Tesla is quite effective in winter, but when rear passengers feel chilly, I turn up the temperature a bit. I regularly clean the seat surfaces to prevent stains and avoid debris buildup that could make them harder. I recommend starting with simple adjustments and never overlooking safety details.

After prolonged use, the seats in my Tesla have started to harden, especially in older models where the frame may deform or the padding may age. I went directly to the service center for assistance, and after they added a lumbar support kit, the situation improved significantly. Additionally, I purchased a new set of seat protectors for under a hundred yuan. It's important to adjust the seat position to be level and not too tilted, as excessive tilt can cause significant pressure on the hips. Before driving, check that all button functions are working properly, and address any malfunctions promptly. Often, simple solutions can resolve the issue.
