Plaid Sport Seat Retrofit

Are they heated and cooled ?

Was your car ventilated seats before? Or is just the new one ventilated? How is it controlled via touchscreen in that case?

Those are sweet! That is a great price. You can sell your OG seats for probably $600+ too.

Gonna put them on ebay soon 😆

Yes!

I’m not the OP, but I’m happy to answer your question because I did the retrofit not of plaid seats , but of the Performance seats on my Juniper Long Range. Even though my car already has cooling, you can actually do this on any model, even ones that don’t come with seat cooling. Basically, when you order the seats, you go through a selection process where you can add options like cooling or choose to keep them heated only, like your current car. If you add cooling, they include a fan that you install and clip under the seat. How it works is that you triple tap the heated seat icon on the screen and it activates the cooling instead. It uses the fan that comes with the seats. For example, in my case, my car already had seat cooling, so I didn’t need to install the fan. But if your car doesn’t have it, they give you that option, which is really cool and works very well.

They were not, triple tap defroster to switch between heat and cool mode, then adjust level like normal with the heat icon, 1 is low 3 is high.

wait are those lights in the backseats stock??

They are not, got the full kit from LightingBugTech for $199 on Black Friday.

ahhh i see, they look sick af man!

So there is no software update on the console for older non-ventilated cars (2021 model 3) to show the blue cooling icon?

Unfortunately not because Tesla 2021 never supported cooling seats so they never updated the UI for that

neat, thanks for the answer!

what's the implementation such that triple tapping the defroster switches modes? the fan is wired somehow so that triple tapping the defroster activates the fan?

It is probably connected to the vehicles canbus, and reads if the defroster was triple tapped -> switch between heat/cool.

I see the piano black console so it's a pre refresh model right? I'm curious to know what all mods you've done to the car!

Know of other coupon codes that work? Xtra20 didn’t work for me.

Yes, it’s a 2020 M3P I’ve done; black headliner, Carbon fiber steering wheel, carbon dash trim, full ambient lighting, and now the sport seats! On the outside just a chrome delete and front splitter.

Never met someone informed about a canbus that didn’t partake in the use of cannabis.

Please tell me your model three is at least a performance

How's the comfort in comparison to the originals?

They look amazing 💯 Is the cooling feature any good? That's the main feature I want to add, living in Texas but want to make sure it's actually substantial before dropping like $1500

That interior lighting is amazing! I’d definitely want a Model 3 just for that feature, and it would have to be blue. But that red is also quite striking. I can’t help but imagine Tron Ares looking at these photos.

Try https://gedd.it - it will find AND test the codes for you.

Any chance the custom LED lighting you have installed can sync with Tesla’s own lighting? For color change and the music sync?

Thanks for the info. I’m considering upgrading the seats in my 2023 Performance to the new ones. Did you get the Tesla seats, or EVoffer seats, something else?

WHEWWWWWW is it getting hot in here or just me?

Did you do the rattle delete too? Mine has a terrible one in the back end that I cannot find.

I believe it’s a double tap of the defroster, at least with the EVOffer seats. My biggest fear is a future software update interferes with this feature. I’m sure there’s a way for them to send an update though.

Definitely added a lot of character to the interior. Looks really good!!

It’s great on my 25 model 3

Post back what you get for them.

Wow this is fantastic I def want to do this on my M3 highland. Scared about losing my warranty

I have the EVOffer seats for model 3. The ventilation is super powerful, way more so than any OEM I have tried (tried Rivian, Tesla, and VW). They blast it full speed and as a result it’s a bit loud, but the lowest setting may be slightly more powerful than OEM and almost inaudible. IMO I’ll take the louder sound for the instant cooling

This is fire..! Love black seats. Have you sat in the performance highland? How would you compare these seats in terms of comfort to the M3P?
