GTPE Seats Uncomfortable

Interestingly, I'm not happy with the seats in my GTPE, but it's not the shape design, it's the alcantera like fabric on the seat fronts. I've actually felt in the summer that the seat heaters are coming on, have gone so far as to flip switch on/off a few times. I've never had seats that absolutely don't breathe, and my back is soaked with sweat minutes after starting driving. The fabric doesn't breathe, it's worse than vinyl I guess I'll end up getting some seat cover.

I have had that same issue with every vehicle equipped with leather seats until I tint the windows. Ceramic window tint is your friend you can even tint the front window so 90% of the light comes through but only 50% of the heat. ( That may be illegal in your state)

I've been procrastinating on doing ceramic tint to the front door windows to match the rear windows. Need to do this.

HAve you looked into buying one (or two) replacement seats for the front? Like the regular GT or Premium seats? No doubt expensive, but perhaps better than having a ton of pillows to deal with.

Due to receiving the necessary Tesla adapter, I decided to do my first beyond-commute travel in the GTPE.

It was with a couple of my best friends (granddaughters) and for the round trip was about 9 hours in the seat.

I already was comfortable with the necessary DCFC requirements, as a result of careful planning. But KNOWING how wonderful it is to sit long hours in the multicontour massaging seats of the KingRanch Powerboost, I wasn't so sure what the experience in the GTPE would be.

It was nothing to worry about afterall. For my near 70 year old bones, it was actually very nice. I was pleased to find that out.

As for the girls? I don't think they would even notice the difference. They are far more concerned with drinks, snacks, and entertainment choices.

I do wish the front seats had the same range of adjustments as the truck. And the massaging feature would be a bonus as long as it was the same kind. But I never suffered, regardless.

I'm feeling quite disappointed because my wife refuses to ride in my Mach-E GT, and it's all because of the uncomfortable seats. She says the seat backs are too deep, which forces the headrests to push her head forward in a way that’s really uncomfortable for her (neck injury). I've already tried using 1-inch seat cushions to improve the situation, but unfortunately, they didn’t help. Now, I'm beginning to regret my decision to get this car. Does anyone have any advice or solutions on how I can make the seats more comfortable for her? I really want her to enjoy riding in it with me.

I bought a memory foam neck pillow on Amazon that clips to the head rest. Works beautifully and helps this. Got one for our Ranger too when I ride in there

Try flipping the headrest around and add a pad or pillow as needed to support her head comfortably. Likely doesn't conform to safety spec, but may help your situation.

I did this on my daughter’s escape headrest. MUCH more comfortable. They should have continued using the headrests they used on the earlier machs. They are so nice.
