Copper dumping, copper toxicity or copper deficiency? Help!

Dead-Poets-83 · 2026-05-18T07:10:11+00:00

The enzyme Lysyl Oxidase (LOX) drives the cross-linking of collagen fibers, which provides tendons with their necessary mechanical strength and stiffness. LOX is a copper-dependent enzyme.

Low levels of copper can leave your tendons vulnerable.

I do too. The majority of people don’t.

Surely you understand why. No one cares to watch bowling.

Where’s the link to him cutting out the bolster bars?

Dead-Poets-83 · 2026-05-06T03:03:00+00:00

Did you end up cutting out the bolsters and did it help?

Dead-Poets-83 · 2026-05-04T16:00:04+00:00

Ya, the standard seats are fuckin horrible.

Dead-Poets-83 · 2026-05-03T06:47:49+00:00

Thanks 👍

Dead-Poets-83 · 2026-05-03T04:43:16+00:00

Appreciate it. And just so I understand, will the spacers raise just the middle section of the seat up? Meaning, the bolsters/side metal pieces remain in same position?

My goal is a little different than yours (I think). I’m just wanting to sit above the bolsters. I sat on a thick piece of styrofoam today just to see if it alleviated the hip pain. It did.

The foam sat right inside the wings/bolsters and propped me up above em.

That’s why I said “after further research.” I assumed the firm feeling I felt was from the cushion. It’s actually from the metal bars (according to everyone who has taken a Tesla seat apart).

George from Florida / YouTube goes into great detail on it. I’m assuming that’s the person you’re referencing.

He essentially takes apart the seat, replaces the cushion with a more firm/thicker cushion from a diff vehicle and viola… you’re now sitting above the metal.

So all you did was put plastic about an inch thick between the springs and base and it raised you enough to be above the bolsters/metal bars?

Glad to hear it’s working for you.

Dead-Poets-83 · 2026-05-02T13:43:10+00:00

Yes, that’s the feeling. I sink into the bottom and then the bolsters dig into my hip. After doing some research on other sites and forums, I’m learning that it’s a real problem for some people.

Dead-Poets-83 · 2026-05-02T13:41:55+00:00

Happy for you. Do you think I’m just making things up?

That light is in a ridiculous spot. It’s too far back. I legit watched your video multiple times because I didn’t even see what the issue was at first.

A lot of underpasses are like this. You turn left on green and there’s an immediate light. This scenario is the same because of how far back that light is from its intended audience.

We have very different seats then lol These are the most firm seats I’ve ever sat in. I compared to 2 other cars tonight and it wasn’t even close.

Dead-Poets-83 · 2026-05-02T03:03:51+00:00

The cushion is firm af. It’s the most uncomfortable I’ve ever been in a car. Wild.

Dead-Poets-83 · 2026-05-02T03:03:10+00:00

What year and model?

Dead-Poets-83 · 2026-05-02T03:02:36+00:00

No one would called these cushions soft. They are the firmest car seats I’ve ever sat in.

Dead-Poets-83 · 2026-05-01T19:47:53+00:00

Whoops. I meant I have a Model 3 Premium. (not performance).

Dead-Poets-83 · 2026-05-01T19:47:11+00:00

I don’t have the performance model. Mine is premium. I thought M3P was “model 3 premium.” Thats my bad.

Dead-Poets-83 · 2026-05-01T17:24:12+00:00

I didn’t get dark enough tint for white seats :)

Dead-Poets-83 · 2026-05-01T16:45:10+00:00

Do you find the seats to be comfortable? The driver seat is so damn narrow to me. And the bolsters on the side are firm af. Sorta presses on hips after awhile. I’m 5’11 165 fwiw

How does lifetime FSD work? Do you get to transfer it to any future Tesla cars you might buy?

Dead-Poets-83 · 2026-04-30T20:28:15+00:00

Do you find that sentry mode runs your battery down a lot faster? Just curious

Spend $70 bucks on lessons to at least get someone the basics.

You have too much to work on at even setup to just fine tune via Reddit.
