If you're going to track it, you're not going to mind ripping out the seats and putting something more sporty in with a five point harness. The vehicle is heavier, but adjusting to it would be similar (IMHO) to adjusting to sports cars with a mid engine layout.

If you want a dedicated track car, a Model 3 is a pretty expensive way to get there, and I'm not entirely sure how you'd have a good track day with all the recharging you'd have to stop for.

If you want a street car that you can track, you might swap in Recaros (I've done it...) but you do give up an airbag or two. Five-point harnesses are bad news on a street car, I definitely recommend against that.

Nobody is expecting racing buckets but you shouldn't be disappointed in the stock seats in a 60k vehicle.
