My seat works.

We all need to open service tickets and force a fix for these poor performing ventilated seats.

Pretty much.
Selling the trucks with "ventilates seats"and they way they perform compared to the Y, 3, and other models is pretty laughable.
The ventilated seats in the CT are the worst in the Tesla lineup, and at the pricepoint should be on par with the 3 and Y and a minimum.

I do agree cybertruck should be the best of the lineup. Sat in my brothers new model Y and the cooling performance is much better.

For now, the 3-D mesh brings the performance to where I want it to be still looking for a better option

Having ordered one of these on your advice I can confirm it makes a significant difference. It looks super ghetto in mine but it does help.
trying to determine if I’m going to keep it.

Yea the aesthetics of it are really bad in such a nice clean interior, hope Tesla or the aftermarket find a solution for this, to hot in the truck with all the glass and the current HVAC system, cooled seats are needed, especially for a vehicle with this pricetag.

Happy to have help finding a different solution but for now it’s the only thing that’s worked.. I’ve had them on for about a week now and every time the fan is running I’m so glad I have it and the airflow feels like the way it should.

i’m thinking about leaving the back part on just in the summer and taking the seat cushion off. Perhaps toss the seat cushion in a compartment in case I really need it on a super hot day.

Can anyone summarize this thread in one word or less?

OK, one sentence then?

The Cybertruck seat coolers suck in air rather than blow out air and as a result don’t produce as much perceptible cooling without adding some kind of ventilation spacer , but there are limited options for this and they are all ugly AF.

In the sidebar there has also been a fair amount of taxi driver humor related to the seat bead option which has remained surprisingly clean and restrained.

Ventilated stock seats don't work well at ALL, aftermarket or Tesla solution needed.

I remember the first drive home I could feel the cool ventilating action. I’ve been chasing that dragon ever since. I figured a tube or something popped off disturbing the airflow.

Just don't sit in a Model 3 or Y, feels like sitting on a glacier compared to the CT.

I bought a $130,000 Mercedes s580 - and thought the cooled seats would work of course. Turns out these seats suck air in through the holes to @pull the heat away” - so the dealer said. So many cooled seats are not connected to the tubing of the a/c system. The seats in my Porsche 911 definitely works. Not sure if the cooled seat function is connected to the a/c tubing or not. Ridiculous that a top of the line Mercedes cooled seats is just a little computer fan sucking air through the seat perforations - and pulling the “heat “away.

My 5 year old $75 Amazon cooled seat cover has a “powerful computer fan” that sucks in A/C air from the front of the seat. It actually does well in Texas. Just as long as the A/C is cold. Ha
But yes, it is crazy to think how easily it could be better especially for the cost of the whole vehicle.

I am actually shocked the taxi driver thing didn't take a hard left turn somewhere (Im proud of you guys). Also you forgot to add : Farts can be redirected for rear passengers to enjoy.

Yes. Also an exceptionally important sidebar. Sincerest apologies.

I don't care if it sucks or blows, I leave the seat heaters on all summer long
