Default "Center" console

Just curious to hear from other owners, is the spacing between the center console and your front seats about the same? I have about 5/8" between the driver's seat and the console, but zero space on the passenger side. The passenger seat back actually rubs the console, so much so that I can't even slide a piece of mail between them without it getting stuck.

Is it just a botched assembly job on mine, or do others notice the same thing? I have an early-build 2018.

You mind posting a visual pic for us to view exactly, sounds similar but a picture would help.

My passenger seat back is closer to the center console when you compare it to the driver seat back. However it doesn't touch the console and the seat moves back and forth without any issue.

Stuck my hand between both sides. No rub and they seem pretty even.

Driver's side.


Passenger side.

^. That looks like the adjustable bolster setting is retracted out fully on the passenger side.

Nope. In fact, the driver's seat is wide-open. The passenger seat isn't adjustable.

Both mine touch the console. Is your difference noticeable regardless of seat position?
