The only thing I can think of is, are there airbags in the seats? I was thinking more about the mass of the beads in an airbag deployed scenario, should work well also. Worth a try.
it doesn’t have to have a diamond pattern it just needs to have something that allows the air to escape around you. I noticed on a Chevy Tahoe. There were small little than almost like wrinkles between the holes and that worked as well. My brother has a 2025 model Y that has noticeably better...
Let us know what you think, there’s a couple of different variants of this 3-D mesh material as seat cushions on Amazon. I may order some of the other ones as well. It’s compressible, cushioning, definitely has an odd feel to it, but it does its job well by creating enough space for air to flow...
My road trip hacks for efficiency when using FSD is to have the "use comfort mode in FSD" ticked on or switch to comfort mode for highway driving. Comfort mode make the throttle mushy but it sips power. Make sure tires are proper inflated and keep speed under 80. That's about all ya can do.

Updated 2/20/2026.- See this link for an internal look at the possible seat cooling issue and huge thank you to the poster on X for this!
Update 8/20/2025 - The Cybertruck Ventilated Seats work by vacuuming air into the seat...
Range improvement from my data added in several posts throughout the thread. Begin with the original post, updates are linked at the bottom of that post. I don't use the aero covers and still see greater than 10% efficiency gain over the Stock AT's
Reporting that after about 6000 miles I feel like the traction is a little better dry than when new. Not quite as much felt wiggle on a beast launch. (subjective of course)
It isnt out of mind. Perhaps out of other peoples minds. I also carry a car battery jump box and use it for Ice cars. Perhaps I'm an anomaly but I'm able to make sure my tools work when I need them to. I suppose thats incompetence. Not going to keep responding on this. Use the tool best for you.
I've been charging everything that needs charging my whole life (and so has everyone else). This isn't a real barrier. At most I charge the tire inflator once a quarter. Not a big. From dead, a 15 min charge into the inflator is more than enough to inflate a CT tire.
To each his own. I carry several emergency items with Lithium Ion tech and have for years including a vehicle jump start box. Never had an issue in all the extremes. Works just fine
I think the LTS Plats are a little fatter around the rim than the AT's. Not sure if Rim matters though, I have the AT Rims where some have the AS Rims.
Completely understand thats the part the blows my mind about the CT to this day, that its doing so many things well, it doest make sense. I'm also a Rivian Quad Motor Gen 2 reservation holder but, frankly it isn't near the vehicle the CT is (but it pretty!). Tesla's Tech is so far ahead. Only...
Interesting! Look at the change in Max Range as reported by the BMS from Tessie the moment I added the Michelin Defender LTX Plat's. A whole section that appeared which wasn't there before (purple area). The scatter chart appears to be trending up (slightly).
