What to Do If Tesla Seats Are Uncomfortable?
2 Answers
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.
