I’m glad to see it’s both up and down

Why can’t they have the front seats, if unoccupied, move forward when you pull that, then move back after the seat lowers. Makes it such a pain for us tall folks who have the seats all the way back

I’d prefer a motorized frunk. That’s the thing I use most often and the mechanical “clunk” just isn’t the thing you expect to hear — it’s like popping the hood in gas cars. Likewise when I pop the drunk to have my kids place their bags in, I’d prefer a mechanical close rather than reminding them to close it, which still happens.

What’s funny is they do this with the 6 seat Model X. The front seat will move up when someone is moving a second row seat for third row access.

Yeah this would be pretty key... But it's also something that would be possible to change with a software update

I'd also prefer that, but this was definitely something cheaper and easier to implement since the seat already gets power and data connections for the seat heating feature.

Never used this ever.

Seems like an easy OTA update if it already does that for the X like other person mentioned.

Would be weird if it's motorized down but not up?

There’s a reasonable amount of brands that do an automated release and rely on the seat to pop forward and down, but then you still have to manually push it back up

Good point, would make sense that it's related to having people in the front seats - don't want to inadvertently pinch something for the person sitting in that seat. And if there's someone in the seat, you can ask them to slide forward a bit.

The auto wipers have been working fine for me for a couple years now. This trope is getting old.

it’s only in the new vehicle

They save money on rain sensing wiper and actual parking sensor to spend money on this. Pathetic.

That’s how model y is today

I meant putting the seats down in general. 🤷‍♂️

Why is this being motorized? Isn't it better if they just drop down?

Nobody asked for this! It’s fine but I hate to think of what they cut to justify it.

They can have that, since that's how it is in the Model X. Obviously it was considered an unnecessary expense for the Y to keep costs down.

This is actually like the dumbest feature that will only add to the cost, provide little to no value, and be another point of failure. A motorized frunk would have been much much much better.

Never putting the seats down is weird unless you have another much larger vehicle. But will add that for many users this motorized control might be a feature that is used like once a month. Seems like waste of money and another point of eventual long term failure.

It’s weird to try and put them down with two kids seat in the second row. 🙄

I’d write the code and do it for free if they’d let me

I wonder if a Tesla can be rooted, lol.

great feature for me, i use it often and it's a pain to push it back up, have to open both door and push it up from each side. This would be a great QOL change.

great QOL update, now let's see what else they change/added.

What is checkpoint?

Weird as in unusual. Not weird as in you are weird. I’ve had car seats holding down the fort on a back seat as well.

To be able to go back up

Power frunk install is the best thing I did with my model Y

a reddit post reference to X, which source back to red book. adding shit load of overload on intenet overhead. remind me the battires and solar pandle, made in china, but due to reasons, packaged in south asia, then shipped over to the states, with 200% overhead added in the process. or the Northvolt...

That's how it currently is.

It unlocks electronically but then just drops down, no? Juniper has an actual motor that's used to make it go down and back up.

Yeah it has an electric assisted drop down in the current Gen.

Just watched the Out of Spec video walkthrough. The front seats do recline forward as the rear seats fold down and back to position again as the rear seats are coming back up. Not sure if it was moving forward though.

The new model Y does have this feature. When the rear seats are lowered the front seats automatically move out of the way when empty. If they are occupied then a prompt on the screen warns you that the front seats will move and you can accept.

Very cool! Thanks for the info.

It does, but only when there aren't people sitting in the chairs. As should see in the video, those seats are occupied.

Wish they added the power seat buttons to the Model 3 to stop people from smashing the rear window to pull the seat levers.

Tesla has become the apple of the automotive industry. "Look at this groundbreaking new feature... that all androids have had for five years!"
