The driver’s seat material is deteriorating prematurely on the left bolster area. The damage affects the structural support of the seat edge, which causes the driver to shift position unexpectedly during turns, braking, and lane changes. This instability can delay reaction time and reduces secure seating posture. The deterioration is progressive, and if it continues, the driver may not remain firmly supported, which creates a safety risk under normal driving conditions. This also suggests a potential materials or manufacturing defect for this model year.

Whenever turning a clicking sound is occurring underneath the driver seat. The seat does not seem to be properly secured from the factory. Tesla said it does not seem to be a safety concern over the phone and will not work to get my vehicle into the service department in a reasonable timeframe. Many weeks to schedule with no alternative.

While driving on highway at around 60,65 miles speed, I saw a warning that fronk is open. I dont think I pressed open fronk while driving and not sure even its possible while driving. Fronk wasnt open when I started the drive for sure else would have noticed the warning. Warning actually started after driving for 5,6 miles. I was on highway and took me some time to find a safe place to get on the shoulder and when I checked fronk was actually open. Im not sure how much an issue it was or if Tesla fronk can get loose and fly or hit the windscreen and cause visiblity issue or accident involving other vehilces but this was something which was a big concern for a moment while driving at high speed.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
