Adocument introduced by Teslaon March 21, 2019 and published on March 31, 2022 unveiled the new technology that Tesla has in hand for its vehicles. As reported by Teslarati media, it is a system to control the seat temperature.
The idea itself turns out to be quite original: filling the seat with liquid by means of a pump through three layers. The materials vary between a heating component and the pump to raise or lower the temperature of the seats in the upcoming models of the U.S. manufacturer. But why?
The aforementioned media outlet claims that Tesla, in addition to filing its patent, drew up a list of reasons why such technological advancement is required. The company led by Elon Musk is based on the fact that current systems are not up to the task, in terms of space, weight and efficiency.

The Tesla system’s layers perform their function evenly and precisely, preventing some areas from heating or cooling more than others, or on the contrary, inefficient use of it on areas of the seat where the driver does not make contact. Conventional systems such as ventilation seem to be obsolete given the new way of looking at the situation by the California manufacturer.
In general, the thermal control system in electric vehicles is powered by the battery, reducing the total autonomy, resulting in loss of kilometers when planning the route. Therefore, a separate and independent solution from the regular energy source of Tesla is presented as an alternative, representing multiple advantages ranging from reducing noise inside the car, manufacturing costs and good energy management.
About Tesla
Tesla was founded in 2003 by a group of engineers who wanted to prove that electric vehicles can be better, faster and more fun to drive than gasoline-powered cars. Today, the company not only makes electrified models, but also infinitely scalable clean energy generation and storage products.
