Ventilated seats
When is Tesla offering ventilated/cooled seats in its fleet?
In 2019 some articles mentioned Tesla had patented a more efficient seat cooling system, but has anyone heard any updates?
People have settled on this one, but Tesla is taking too long to provide efficient ventilated/cooled seats in its fleet!!!
This is a “must have” optional for vehicles being marketed at these price levels.
Perhaps if we build up pressure through this forum Tesla may prioritize the production, so please comment.

BTW, there is no such thing a “cooled” seats as in their is actual AC running through the seats. All that “cooled” seats are is seats with fans underneath blowing air upward.
Additionally perforated seats don’t last as long as non perforated seats for the simple fact that there are literally hundreds of holes in the material.

That is incorrect.
Also, like using a Tesla Heated Seats instead of turning up the car's heater, I think I remember seeing the Vented Seat Cooling uses less battery (aka driving range.)
I am not sure if Tesla will still do it with New Inventory Cars, but I was able to more easily justify buying the "P100D" upgraded MX as at that time,
-- Tesla willing to turn off before delivery--for a full price refund--the Ludacris and Ludacris-Plus ($20,000 savings).
-- Also, Tesla exchanged the beautiful but pricey 22" Black Onyx Wheels and Tires for a set of new Stock 20" MX wheels/tires (another $5,500 discount.)
-- Plus, I got the $2,550 Illinois State Tax savings since my vehicle cost $25,500
When all was said and done, I got most of the nice "P" upgrades without the 2 most expensive options I did not want.
-- Performance Electric Motors
-- Larger Brake Disk and Red Brake Calipers
-- Ventilated & Heated Seats
-- Ultra-Suede Headliner
-- Heated Steering Wheel
-- Smart Air Suspension
-- White / Carbon-Fiber Premium Interior Package
-- Premium Sound
-- Subzero Weather Package
-- Tow Package
-- P100D Badging
And from the very first day (March 2019), I have really loved my Pearl White/White Model X.
One reason it's less important in a Tesla is you can cool the car minutes before you arrive. ICE cars like the Lexus do not have that feature, so the seats can be blistering hot when you get in.
