As an owner of an Ioniq 5 limited. The passenger headrest does not have the fore/aft movement. And the driver's headrest is often very tricky to get to move, since you have to push it in that arcing motion. Even knowing that it moves, it can take me a few minutes to do it if I haven't in a while

The headrest mechanism was probably not locked up. You mentioned that you couldn't "rotate" the headrest. It does not rotate, it's pretty unique in that it actually translates linearly. You have to press the headrest almost perfectly diagonal (forward+up) to get it to move. If you try to "tilt" the headrest or fail to push it EXACTLY the right direction it feels like it's locked up solid. Arguably this is not very good design because the user interface is not "inductive" (doesn't guide the user toward correct operation, either get it right or nothing happens). Also, the passenger headrest on US market cars does NOT have this mechanism. Just like the passenger seat does not have the leg rest while in other markets both seats have them. I'm actually surprised by the number of differences between US market vehicles and the domestic Korean market vehicles.

The headrest, when seated on the seat all you have to do is reach your hand behind your head and to the top of the headrest and pull the top of the headrest the direction of the front of you/car. The guy explaining that it locked up was pushing it toward the back (if you really expected to push toward the back... that's a safety concern...)... had that kind of headrest on my grandpa's 2002 EF Sonata.

As a car salesman I can tell you that seats alone will sell a car and is a very big factor in purchase. Lost a lot of sales just over the look of the seat covering. Appearance will get people interested in getting someone to the dealership. But once you get them in the car you need to keep them there. That is why getting a test drive is vital to getting a sales. So once on test drive seats must be comfortable and ride of suspension and noise level will help get the car sold. Cannot overstate how important this is. So don’t get cheap on the seats.

It always has been behind the scenes. I remember when Crysler came out with their "universal" upholstry 25 years ago or so, and I thought it was genius. Instead of doing grey everything like Ford, they created upholstry that included half a dozen different colors in the design... the result was a neutral effect color like a grey, but it unified with different interior plastics colors. It also masked stains better than a solid color. Cost-wise, it meant that Chrysler could sell every color of interior in their stable with the same upholstry. For the seats it meant only the plastic trim at the bottom was a different color.

Honestly, we've driven our Model 3 for 5 years, and I'd switch to an Ioniq 5 Limited in a heartbeat *IF* I could just find one in our preferred configuration anywhere near us. So far… no luck. The closest one is well over 350 miles away. Bummer. As far as I'm concerned, the only advantage that the Model 3 has over it is… the Supercharger network. That, we hope, will change over time.

@@Yanquetino The other advantage is the Tesla is not made by Hyundai/Kia. Those who've gone through or are still going through the Theta2 engine debacle (ran out of rebuild-able engine blocks though somehow Independent/Non-OEM shops are able to true them and re-manufacture them) or the electrical fires burning out their ICE vehicles while parked (up to about 6 million vehicles known to be involved and counting) along with Hyundai/Kia not doing a very good job at making things right and leaving some folks completely hanging with a "So Sad So Bad... Your on your own" response, despite all their bragging on their warranties, are not likely to trust them. You can look this up to see what some folks are currently going through trying to get Hyundai/Kia to fix these horrific design defects. Its going to require quite a few more years before I'd put them back in the "Circle of Trust" again and its going to take a bit more than just Slick Advertising and Glitz (such as a bigger touch screen than Honda) or a more comfortable seat to regain that trust.

@@Yanquetino Some of the vehicles bursting into flames and experiencing catastrophic engine failure were highly rated initially too however they're still bursting into flames, etc. Their track record currently when dealing with massive problems due to taking cost cutting to an extreme along with whatever else drove those decisions isn't very good right now. They skimped on the piston skirts on the Theta2 engines and tried to overcome that with a strip of Teflon(ish) coating on the skirt (which sorta worked for around 30,000 miles or so) instead of correcting the problem created by specifying pistons that were far too short for a long stroke engine. The connecting rods were a bit wispy too plus they were prone to having the heads warp on top of it all. The fires impacting around 6 million or so ICE vehicles doesn't instill much confidence in their dedication towards building safe EV's either. How many weak links are they designing and building into their EV products if they still can't after all these years do a good job designing and building a safe 12 volt system? Wowing the magazine editors with a new flashy release is easier than standing the test of time. Best!

Can the cover be put on while the foam is in a pressure environment, causing it to be compressed. I expect 5 psi or less is all the would be required. This would make attachment of covers easy to do without tension on the cover surface. Then the pressure in the vessel is released and the air in the foam expands and the foam fills out into the cover now restraining the foam. I am assuming they use closed cell foam with air trapped inside.

Bullshit!! Tesla doesn't make everything don't gobe everything you see on internet wtf!! Also there are tons of aftermarket or s'est makers which actually makes some seats according to customer requirements and those are also rigorously tested

Hello Carl, I like your videos a lot. I like how you show design decisions and pros and cons. It is the approach that I consider engineering in the best sense. I also like your concise style. I would like it even more, if you considered serviceability of the seats and failure-prone parts (like plastic gears, fragile heat mats, clogged fans, wearing surface material, loose cables interfering with feet of 2nd row passengers) in addition to manufacturing costs.

Given that Hyundai/Kia got their start in the US building and selling cars for less than most others, I’m not surprised they’re doing a good job at “value engineering” at least in something they know well, like seats. I’m guessing they’re likely going to stumble a bit when it comes to the drivetrain, especially since serviceability has historically been a priority for them. I’ve got to say though, even if Hyundai is doing a lot to reduce the cost to manufacture their interior, you really can’t tell. My Ioniq5 has a nicer feeling and much quieter (i.e. fewer rattles and much less road noise) than my Model 3 (both are the same age, too).

I understand what you're saying about the hog ring being more costly due to the labor to install but I'm wondering if it might be more durable then a plastic clip.

I ordered 2023 tesla M3 in March. I cam with the front passenger seat cushion defective. The foam is missing one big chunk at the front right corner. when it new, I did not notice but after two rides, my friend sat there and the leather cover had a sink. I touched it and found a missing foam. I made appointment to the repair. I got A USED SEAT to replace my front passenger seat. The tesla service center in Santa Clara, CA replaced with a used seat. I found dirt on the seat rails both sides, the rail caps are broken both of them at the rear end. Yeah, Tesla build is suck, they used defective parts on the car. Later I found the right rear door weather strip is defective, the lips are wobbled, leaking air on freeway speed, wind noise. Them came to my place and replaced an other one same condition with a damage lips at different places. How after 3k miles, the front suspension is making noise any time I am backing out the drive way to the street. Hell Tesla is suck. seat is defective, wind noise is terrible, insulation is so bad, that driver can feel the heat is at your face when you drive in day time, sun shine and 60F out side. tesla has only good charging network, but it is expensive in NorCal. A mistake to buy tesla.

I think the rear seat backing with the plastic panel is not at all strong enough. I recently rented a Buick Enclave for a few weeks, and during that time I was doing some landscaping work in my house. Folded the second and third row seats down put in a tarp and loaded it up with 15 bags of paver base and 40 bags of mulch. I'm sure the Hyundai seat wouldn't have handled that.

Nice description. Comfortable seats are my biggest challenge. Do any manufacturers use Memory Foam for their seats? Would that be an improvement? Also, which automotive seat is the most comfortable for a guy your (and my) size?

A soft comfortable motorcycle seat will cause problems and most of them are. A firm, fitted seat will allow you to ride for days. Bicycle seats, similar.

I'm really late to this video, but do you have any information about how the lumbar system works? I've noticed that mine deflates over time, and also noticed a "clicking / popping" noise emitting from that area when I lean back into the seat.
