Have more than one driver to the car and switch often? Well fuck you!
It could be that the motor is borderline undersized to keep weight of the vehicle low and on a hot day lots of use overheats the motor.
However limiting use with a software lockout is pretty lazy engineering. If Tesla is as amazing as the dudebro's say surely they can make electric seats that work at least as well as the 30 other brands right?
i found a source ... quote :
Based on a review of the source code by hacker @greentheonly, the automaker recently added "seat abuse" metrics. According to green, if you move the seat too much, messages will pop up on the display, ~~like~~ (such as) "Excessive use of seat track motor detected," and "Seat track motor unavailable due to excessive use."
but why
is it :
Why do i dig it ? ... or ,
Why are big cies. such bullies ?
Stress on the motor will likely cause it to overheat or break. That's probably all.
Gee, if only there was a way to solve this... Something that every other car manufacturer has figured out.
I mean, yea, this shouldn't be a problem at all. It's kind of a bad look for Tesla
The company claiming to have the best electric motors in the industry, folks!
Maybe it's for kids. I could see a kid messing with the chair for a long time and breaking it. Still, that kind of feature is kind of superfluous and should be optional.
I'm not sure I believe this is true
It might be, but limit is not like "you have one move per week" but to stop someone from using the seat as a toy. Maybe just constat move for over an hour will trigger the message.
If only we could hear from manufacturer about stuff like this and have explanation.
What I've heard about Model 3s is that they have a lot of defects. They're attempting to fix with software...maybe not the right fix, but if it helps them continue to produce vehicles that provide enough other benefits it could be a net positive.
They’re attempting to fix with software...
Ugh, the bullet train to disaster city
"'Software will fix it' is the techbro equivalent if 'I believe in Jesus'"
Let's make an open source electric car!
car fingerprinring ?
whats wrong with adjusting your seat you fucking sychopath, i hope someone stabs you you bastard
