Drivers seat loose?

[Electric Metal]

My driver seat is clicking when I go into a turn (Right or Left). Bolts are tight at mounting point but it seems something is loose inside the seat underneath causing it to actually shift a bit.

I have same issue...only happens going into a turn. Having service look at it along with other small things.

+1 here. Same issue. It’s one of theee different rattles I have

Same, mine creaks when I turn the truck. I can get it to creak when I sit parked and shimmy in the seat as well. One of my 30+ service nitpicks cause I did spend $100k. Being super picky about everything.

Mine does the same! It’s one of my issues to address when I take it to the Tampa SC on June 13th.

Yup, I have squeaks/creaks on turns and when I rock back and forth. Even took a video of it and included it with my service request next month for that along a few small items and 2 other rattles.

Did they figure it out?

Mine creaks too. Took it to service and they are replacing the whole seats.

Mine does the same, especially on moderate cornering. Watching.

its most likely the middle console.

Mine is interesting when I create enough centripetal force while turning left so the force it outside to the right. I get a shift feeling in the seat and it makes a click noise. Turning hard right doesn't create the same shift feeling. It's either loose or hitting something on the right side when the force pushes the seat that way. Noted it on my service request and I have the appointment on the 20th to fix numerous things.

Yes, I picked it up on Saturday, 6/15/24 and they fixed the issue.

Here is the actual Tesla Invoice wording:

Concern: Customer states: Seats - My driver's seat seems to be slightly loose, as it seems to shift
slightly when making left/right turns. It is both audible and tactile and seems like a bolt or two might be loose on the seat to allow it to shift left/right ever so slightly. I was hesitant to report it, but now other CT Owners are reporting the exact same thing, so it must be a bigger issue than just my CT.

Repair Notes: Verified concern, performed test drive and verified noise coming from seat frame,
removed cushion and inspected, verified seat plastic bracket contacting metal creating clicking
noise. Removed brackets and isolated contactor points. Re-assembled seat and tested and verified noise no longer present.

Correction: Perform Post-Repair Validation Test Drive

Pay Type: Basic Vehicle Limited Warranty

I got mine fixed last week at the Tampa SC. Here is the exact wording from the Tesla Invoice:

I’m now getting a loud creaking sound from the center/bottom of the driver’s seat back rest. It’s not related to the bottom frame nor the center console as it makes the sound even when pushed all the way back. I can easily recreate by moving my body around in the seat. I don’t see any other option but for Tesla to replace the entire seat as I don’t see how the back rest can be taken apart. I have a SC appt in 2 weeks for them to install the spare wheel and tire that I just bought so I’ll have them take a look then and report back. I have just under 900 mi on the CT.

No. It’s the seat. I fixed the console. You can feel this under you butt.
