26 Model Y Seat Fold Issue

Bjonker15 | 2026-03-08 03:36 | 11 views

Just took delivery today of my 26 Model Y premium awd. I got home and went to test the rear seat folding, the left side works perfect opens folds fast no issues. The right side folded extremely slow then stopped halfway, it went back up when i pushed the button. I tried again and it went slow and halfway got stuck and then refused to move. I tried all the buttons and screen and nothing worked. I walked away for a half hour called service then went back manually moved the passenger seat forward and tried it again and it worked. It seems like if the passenger seat is back, it moves a little but not fast enough and then it freezes the back seat. Anyone else have this issue

Try recalibrating the passenger front seat in service mode

My new MYP did the same thing. Service found a bad connector and realigned the pins. Works fine now.

Don’t do this. It’s a brand new car. Make an appointment with service

I got a model y 3 weeks ago and it's doing the same thing.

This is what service is going to do. So if you must please schedule an appointment in the app wait 2 weeks and take a day off from work so you can take your car to service and have them hit the buttons on the screen for you or spend 2 min and do it yourself.

You drop your car off at 7am. They have a loaner waiting. 10 minutes.

Legendary name, are you taking it for service or are you just dealing with it? Its not the end of the world and i probably will rarely if ever have to fold the back seats but this is my first New car and itll irk me if not everything is working

Looks like the seat calibration is locked and you need to buy the service package, qr code took me to tesla site and wanted me to pay 75 bucks, service appointment it is
