ventilated seats are extremely weak

[cybercoffee]

The vented seats on my truck are super anemic. I thought it got better during an update in July or so, but they still suck. My truck vin is 19xx, so it's one of the early ones. I have a palladium X, and on 3 blue bacon, the seat is so cold my back gets uncomfortable after maybe a minute of it being on. On 3 blue bacon on the cybertruck, I can barely feel the ventilation. I can hear the fan, but I can barely tell a difference on my back.

does anyone else have this issue? Is it an early build issue, or is it still a problem? Does anyone with a later build have a refresh S/X/3 to compare with and report back?

Thanks!

They are not great, agree. The only way I know they operate on full blue bacon is pre conditioning before a ride the seats are cold. The fan is also pretty loud without much production.

Yes this is an issue. They are impotent. Unfortunately I feel like this will be the lowest on Tesla's priority for things to fix.

This is my first vehicle with ventilated seats, and this was my first summer without a sweaty back! Didn't realize they were anemic compared to others, but they seem to do the job even on 1-2 ice bacons, because fan annoys me on 3. But now I need to go sit in MX and compare...

Yeah, I agree they are better than nothing, but if the car is already hot and I get in without pre-cooling, the venting never cools down the seats, let alone my back. I’m considering submitting a service ticket and seeing what their response is…

I agree. I can barley feel the cooling in the CT. My wife has the X and it cools your back immediately.

I don’t feel them but new riders have mention feeling it without me asking.

FWIW, they are just fans, no active/ ducted cooling
They do have heating elements though.

Right. on the cybertruck the bark is worse than the bite. You can hear the fans going and it feels like nothing!

Maybe yours does have an issue, I feel but don't hear.

What vin is yours approximately?

I take that back, I can hear the fans (when parked).

I feel the same way. Too weak and too loud.

I have only ever had it on 2 strips of blue bacon! It works for me...one day I was in the truck and thought "damn, it's hot today"...noticed I didn't have any blue bacon on...instant relief.
