Gravity Bugs / Issues

[hmp10]

I'm pretty sure my seat would make noise in more than one setting as well...as far as I've investigated it at this point, I can at least say there's thankfully a setting where it does NOT rattle.

Is that point a function of the fore/aft position of the seat or the recline angle of the seat back?

Actually, the most aggravating thing we've found so far is a squeaky rattle in the driver side of the second row seats. The noise disappears with someone sitting in the seat, but it is loud and constant with no one occupying the seat. Even just jiggling the seat back with your hand will produce the noise when the car is at a standstill. I'm hoping the mobile tech can correct it and spare the car a truck ride across the state.

I have a rattle from the second row seats as well and it has become really annoying because our roads are quite rough (only makes noise on rough roads). The rattle went away for a drive once I lowered the second row seats, but has since come back regardless of how I position the seats. If anyone can supply a picture or instructions on making it go away they would be my hero.

On the upside:

- The handling is superb, with the RWS really showing its chops in things like tight inside-lane-to-inside lane turns.

- The highway ride is eerily quiet (except for that damned seat rattle), appreciably more so than our already quiet Air.

- The acceleration is more than brisk, although weather and traffic conditions today prevented our really pushing it.

- The squircle was a shocker. After hating our Tesla yoke to the point of replacing it with a proper wheel, I was in dread of how I would find it. It's actually easy to use, feeling instantly intuitive and providing a great view of the glass cockpit.

I have to agree with all of these. In particular, I had a Model X Plaid with the yoke and paid to get a steering wheel back as the yoke was worse than useless. I am amazed at how natural using the squircle feels. I have no regrets at all on getting a squircle and you would have to pry it out of my cold dead hands..

Another upside I've found is that DreamDrive Pro works really well for me. I sometimes have trouble initiating it (button presses are seemingly ignored at random), but once it kicks in it works just as well as Autopilot did for me.

2 things seemed to affect it:

1) It seems to related to the position of the two 2nd row seats in relation to each other. When they were exactly even with each other, I think the leather or something in the armrest was rubbing against something else. I first initiated the rattling issue when I was in the back and decided to move both seats all the way as far back as they would go. I think this affects it the most...but it also seems to be affected by:

2) How far back the seats are. If it move them both forward an inch or two from the rearmost location (and not quite equally for each seat), that seemed to fix it when done in conjunction with having the front of one seat cushion maybe 1/4" more forward than the other seat rather than being flush with each other. Not sure if that makes sense?
