This is all depending on what is damaged and if it is a single button or the seat control panel. It could even be a faulty power seat. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since there is limited information on this problem this is what I could find based on other people&#8217;s experiences. The best thing you can do to solve this issue is schedule an appointment with the Tesla Service Center, not only can the professionals diagnose the issue but also repair your seat.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_The_Seat_Adjuster_Knob_Broke_Off\"><\/span>1. The Seat Adjuster Knob Broke Off<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your Teslas seat button is broken, 3.5 the most common reason is the seat adjuster &#8220;knob&#8221; was damaged and broke off. This can lead to you not being able to adjust your seat in your Tesla.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The adjuster &#8220;knob&#8221; could have broken off for a few reasons, back wear and tear, pushed wrong too much force, or a manufacturer error. It being a manufacturing error is rare but not impossible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fix_%E2%80%93_Schedule_an_Appointment_With_Tesla_Service_Center_For_Repair\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fix &#8211; Schedule an Appointment With Tesla Service Center For Repair<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In the case of your Tesla seat button being broken there is not much you can do by yourself. This is a job that is best left for the professionals to handle. Especially if the seat adjuster &#8220;knob&#8221; is what broke off. If you try to fix this yourself this could lead to further damage to the seat control panel. Schedule an appointment to get the seat button repaired.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The cost for this fix will vary depending on where you live. If you live in a remote area you may have to go to a second-party repair shop, if that is the case make sure that the shop you are going to knows how to work on the interior of a Tesla. If you live in a city there could be Tesla Service Centers all around you just have to choose the meanest one. You could also schedule a mobile service appointment they way you do not have to leave the comfort of your home.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Seat_Adjuster_Got_Damaged\"><\/span>2.

It is possible that it could have been damaged, either by overuse, an error with the mechanics, or even water damage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> These all could be possible reasons behind why your Tesla seat button is broken. When this happens this prevents you for being able to adjust your seat.

It&#8217;s not like you can take the seat apart and see what is causing this issue. What you can do is see if there is any visible damage on the seat button or around the control panel. It could be anything from water damage or physical damage. Any marks or scraps? Any broken-off pieces?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you notice any damage, contact the Tesla service center to schedule an appointment to get your seat looked at and repaired by a professional. There could be a chance of doing more damage to your seat button if you attempt to fix this issue yourself.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<!-- No shortcodes are defined -->\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Broken_Seat_Control_Panel\"><\/span>3. Broken Seat Control Panel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another thing to consider is that the seat control panel is what could be broken. There could be an issue with the exterior of the seat control panel being damaged or it could also be an error in the seat control panel system. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both of these could be the reason why your Tesla seat button is broken. If you have recently purchased your Tesla and you notice that the seat button is not working and it is due to a faulty seat control panel this could be covered under your warranty.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fix_%E2%80%93_Check_WarrantyGet_Seat_Control_Panel_Replaced\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fix &#8211; Check Warranty\/Get Seat Control Panel Replaced<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> As stated above if you have recently purchased your Tesla and you noticed an issue with the seat control tool panel this could be covered under your warranty since this is more likely a manufacturer error. This can happen from time to time, when you notice the issue contact the Tesla customer service right away. Keep in mind this is also something an issue to look for in future vehicle purchases. If this is a manufacturer error and is covered by your warranty the repair should cost nothing on your part.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If your Tesla&#8217;s seat control panel is damaged from basic wear and tear or damaged from the elements.

Broken Seat Slider Switch<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the button that is broken is the seat slider switch this could either be the switch itself or of could be an error with the seat interior motor that moves the seat. In both cases, this is another issue you should let the professionals handle. If the slider switch is broken there is no other way you can move your seat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fix_%E2%80%93_Contact_Tesla_Service_Center\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fix &#8211; Contact Tesla Service Center<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If the slider switch on your Tesla seat is broken, gluing it back together is not going to work. What may work is taking your Tesla to a professional to repair the slider switch for you.

As stated above, make sure the person you go to knows how to repair the seats in your Tesla.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The issue could be the motor on the Teslas seat that is broken.
