Cracked seat frame

I'm going to say no. This is not manufacturing defect. This is damage from someone doing something to it. My guess. It looks like someone ran into it entering the vehicle. Matching crease on the seat padding.

Tesla fixed mine under warranty but it felt random since a previous attempt listed a charge on the order

We would call this a wake up call

They replaced mine but said it was a one time thing. It’s considered abnormal wear by Tesla. 🫤

Its just a plastic cover not a seat frame...'

Sorry I don’t mean to be rude. But how much do you weigh?

Kinda my thought. I’m a big boxy dude and even at 250ish my seats have held up just fine…

That plastic didn't fail inspection. It just met yo mama.

“What are these seats made of?!?” “Umm, reinforced steel” Who knows this quote 😂

They replaced mine for $70. I was expecting a huge charge. There wasn’t much discussion about it too. Guessing they know it breaks often or something.

This should be covered under warranty, i got mine replaces after it broke off completely

Super glue

As a person who is above 350 at 6’5” mine also have held up…

Once I scrolled to frame the entire picture, I barely noticed the seat. Shop Vacs are cheap and convenient.

Its pretty unlikely OPs weight is what killed a trim piece that isn't supposed to take load.

He stopped on the seat

Had mine replaced for free, with a few months of warranty left.

*Ooooooo burnnnnnn*

25 for part 50 for labor.

This is what happens when you charge to 100% daily

Why would you think this would be covered under a warranty?

I don’t know the name of the show in English, is it the one where the main character only sees the inside beauty of women? Edit: title would be “what women want”

Yes haha. Shallow Hal with Jack Black. Hilarious film.

I recommend reconsidering how you get in an out of the vehicle. You’re likely rolling off an putting too much stress on that side which caused the plastic to crack in a cold weather environment. Nothing wrong with being big bodied, but try to not put as much weight rolling in and out of the seat. Just a suggestion

Fix it and then stop eating burritos 😄

You’re forgetting spillover. If you’re wider than the seat then you’re certainly sitting on the trim partially.

How much you gonna eat bah?

Wow submitting in app now lol. How long did it take?

In the industry that’s known as the “fat crack”.

That's just the side shield, not the seat frame. Unlikely to be covered under warranty since the damage is most seemingly caused by the occupant and not because of a factory defect. If it's anything like the Cybertruck sideshield, [it's cheap, like $70.](https://i.imgur.com/HgYnoeM.jpeg)

Could...could a row boat support you?

I had the same problem. They did a free warranty repair for me.

I'd say that's a quality issue. Sorry about the other comments, don't blame yourself.

Twice i had the trim break off the passenger side seat almost same area. Both times replaced under warranty

Couple of hours including all the other stuff. I was in for a tyre change.

I think it's time for you to start to seriously consider salads.

Fix with a new frame and Ozempic

yea but i don't think they sell just this part?

In this episode of my 600lb life

Google "tesla Y seat trim" you can buy a replacement for under $100.

Not jolly or sassy? Not like a jolly, sassy opera singer?

Maybe it's time to go to Pick-n-Pull. The plethora of crashed MY's gotta' be going somewhere!

I think it’s just shitty plastic. Mine broke too cuz I was cleaning the roof and I kneeled on the seat

How much does one need to weigh to break the seat like that? Honestly, unless you were like 500lbs, I would think they’d replace it under warranty as a defect

When the retaining clips on the same piece broke in my car it was t warranty but full replacement was only $35. That was only a few weeks ago so should be a similar story for you too

The exact same issue happened with me and I asked for warranty coverage and they said it never happens and is not covered under warranty. I am on the leaner side in terms of weight. But what I found the flaw is if you lift the seat, its further from the base and has a higher change to break. Plastic is really low quality. Can't believe they just put a completely disjointed plastic cover there.

Yea the sides of that seat have seen some things…
