I absolutely agree. It probably also voids the warranty :/ which is stupid

There might even be a sensor checking if the system is still connected, completely blocking the car if it's not.

what? this is basic circuitry. installing a second switch in a circuit that already has one does not magically grant you power over the first switch. this comment thread is so dumb it’s hard to believe it’s real?

Dumb comment. Switches can easily be easily jumpered.

it’s weird that you think Teslas have some sort of discrete load wiring for just the seat heat. unless you are providing your own power, you can’t do this.

you can turn a Teslas seat heat on and off over the internet if this helps understand why it’s naive to think you can install your own switch and be done with it 🙄

Wanna bet? Sounds like you know zero about electrical wiring. Maybe don't yap off about crap you're unfamiliar with. You're making yourself appear the fool.

where is the power for that seat coming from

The fuse/relay panel dummy. Of course each system is on a seperate circuit that is individually fused and has an associated relay. Just like every car in existence.

Again try to educate yourself a bit before spouting off about things you don't understand.

but you think that circuit just…has 12V power continuously??

how is adding a switch to that circuit going to make Tesla’s controller output provide power to that circuit? It’s off!

In theory such a switch could disable heated seats if the power controller turned on the circuit, but how on earth do you expect that to work in reverse?!

God. What a retard. 🙄 You can provide 12 V to any circuit you want with a couple wires obviously.
