How warm does everyone’s heated seats get? On max strength I’m not getting much heat whereas in wife’s Mach-E max strength is almost too hot.

I've got an R1T and Mach E here too. The Mach E seats and wheel get a lot hotter than my R1T; I leave them turned on way longer in the truck than I do in the Mach E.

It’s probably on par with my Audi, maybe a little less than the Audi but the cooled seats are far superior than any other car with cooled seats I’ve ever been in. With my climate it’s a trade off I’m more than willing to make.

Hmm. Mine are almost not noticeable even after being in for 20 minutes.

I came from an Etron and these heated seats aren’t on par with that.

The R1T heated seats and steering wheel provide less heat than my 2019 Wrangler, with fabric seats. With my Wrangler I have to turn them off after a few minutes, because they can be uncomfortably warm. With the R1T I may forget the heaters are on, someone can argue their settings are more comfortable, but just take longer (they may be more energy efficient).

Agreed with the other poster, the heated seats in my R1T feel comparable to my ‘15 Audi SQ5. Certainly enough to be comfortable for me… I’m not sure why anyone would want them so hot they’d need to turn them off anyways. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My R1T seats are way too hot after 5 minutes on high.

Odd, I may be an outlier here but I never have to go above level 2 on the seats. Level 3 is a bun-burner. Steering wheel doesn't get super warm but on a cold day I can feel it.

My name is Mike, and I have a (car) problem
The eGolf is unpleasant on high - almost painful. I don’t know if this a Golf thing or a VW thing. I like the R1T setting, as it’s much closer to what I am used to in ze bimmer.

Agree. I can't tolerate level 3 for more than a few minutes and usually switch to level 1.

I would say these are weakest heated seats and steering wheel I have yet in a vehicle....but that said...they are adequate. Barely. But adequate.
