it is 18 months old. I have cleaned the leather a couple of times but nothing special.
Leather really needs ongoing care. I am not an expert, but it really needs to be kept moisturized. If it gets baked in the sun or dries out, it will crack. You might look for an expert in your area who can restore/recondition it. This is really not a warranty type thing.
Seriously? I have never had that happen on any of my BMWs and I always park outside in direct sun, it gets hot around here and I am a big guy so the seats get a beating. I've never conditioned the leather or really took any special care of it. Makes me happy I got the multitextured seats (cloth) on my 70D.
FWIW: When asked last month which seats hold up better to wear and tear the detailer at our local SC confirmed that the textile seats hold up better.

Just proves my point. I wonder if the fragility of the leather TM uses has something to do with the same rules/regulations in CA which are responsible for the paint being so thin and fragile?
Tesla's paint is no more thin or fragile than anyone else's paint. At least I have yet to see anyone prove this assertion. This particularly evil rumor originated with detailers, here on TMC and Facebook, who made these types of statements in an attempt to sell Xpel and similar wrap products. It's total nonsense.
My last BMW, an '96 E36 328i, had serious cracking of the leather when I bought it 5 years old. So BMWs are not immune to this in any way.

My BMW leather also cracked as well. It's just how leather is.
