2022 TESLA MODEL X Seats Problems

When installing front-facing car seats for children in the 2nd row seats of the 2022 Tesla Model X, there is not a safe way to attach the tether strap. While there are LATCH anchors, and a place to attach the tether clip, the strap for the tether cannot pass under or over the fixed headrest, it must pass over the “shoulder” of the seat. This is not effective as no matter how tight a person cinches the tether strap, it slides off the edge of the seat, leaving no way to safely attach the required tether for child safety seats. The owner’s manual displays the seat as if there is a detent that would prevent the strap from sliding off, but this does not exist in my vehicle. When I asked at the local Tesla sales/service center, they said that is simply how it is designed.

The contact owns a 2022 Tesla Model X. The contact stated that the car seat sensor was not functioning properly. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for a diagnostic test. The contact was informed that the vehicle failed to detect aftermarket car seats. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 9,000.

Trying to secure a backless child safety booster seat which has latch tether devices. The Tesla model X 2022 3rd row does not have the latch tether bars. I believe the brand of seat is GoFit Chicco. My 7 year old granddaughter was only restrained with the shoulder lap belt. During a forced rapid deceleration emergency stop she was choked by the seatbelt when the booster seat slid off the seat during rapid deceleration. She was not injured other than a red mark, sorry no photos, and was significantly traumatized from the incident. This booster seat has a clear warning stating the latch system is required and does not have a built in seatbelt channel since it’s backless. The 2nd row seats were in use with two other child safety seats using the latch system which provided ample protection.

Was driving on the freeway and drivers seat started moving backwards. Feet slipped off the pedal. Turns out the seat adjust button behind the 2nd row seat controls also moves the drivers seat. NOTHING should move the drivers seat WHILE DRIVING except driver himself.
