DRIVER SEAT WAS REPLACED IN EARLIER APPOINTMENTS HOWEVER ROD STILL HITS BOTTOM (UNDERNEATH THE THIGHS AND BUTT). IT'S PAINS BAD AND LATER STOP BLOOD FLOW, NUMBS MY LEGS. I HAD TO CONTINUOUSLY ADJUST MYSELF TO CONTINUE MY DRIVING; AT THAT POINT I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THE CAR. I TRIED SEVERAL POSITIONS BUT IT STILL HURTS. HERE IS TESLA RESPONSE: ASSISTANT SERVICE MANAGER SAT IN THE FRONT DRIVER SEAT AND CONFIRMED CUSTOMER CONCERN. COMPARED TO MULTIPLE OTHER SERVICE AND INVENTORY VEHICLES OF THE SAME MODEL AND FOUND ALL COMPARABLE SEATS ARE SIMILAR. THIS IS INHERENT TO THE DESIGN OF THE SEAT. RECOMMEND CUSTOMER ADJUST SEAT POSITIONS AND/OR LUMBAR SUPPORT TO A MORE COMFORTABLE POSITION SUITED TO THEIR PERSONAL PREFERENCE.
