I'm pretty sure they would since it's the same seat design. I'd check one of those forums on TMC - a lot of people have swapped older seats for newer ones, so there's probably some good info there.

Those are the early Premium seats that actually got real leather (or in your case, partial leather). The only difference between them and the newer premium seats (2018-2019) is the seat material and stitching.

European luxury cars are a great deal in North America! A nicely specced BMW or Mercedes costs around 60% of the price of the same car sold in Europe.

Agree on all the above. And those features could be optional extras for all I'm concerned. Most luxury vehicles at a similar price point do not come standard with cooled or massage seats. Honestly, it would not take that much work to get the Model S to the level of a BMW 7-Series. It would just...

Honestly I wouldn't recommend a Model S at that price point. I'd just take a used BMW 7-Series: BMW 7 Series 740d xDrive M Sport Saloon 3.0 4dr Or this Mercedes E53 AMG: mercedes IMO anything before pre-2016 is worse value for money than a gently used ICE car.

That's weird. I just experienced this yesterday in a Mercedes E-Class. Try flicking up the gear shifter a few times rather pushing it up (make it more abrupt). If that doesn't work, power on and off (in the Merc I just turned the car off then on again, but the MS has no start/stop button).

Any experience with the Tesla service center in Graz? After hearing the horror stories about crappy customer service in the US, I can't help but wonder if I'll have to deal with that. Apparently it's different in Canada... hopefully the same applies to Europe.

So the MS that I have on order (no VIN assigned yet, and yes I tried CTRL+U) will stay more expensive but will have free supercharging?

Maybe using one of those headliner hangers? 'HookUp' Coat Hooks for Tesla Model S I've actually never used a coat hook in my own car. Only once or twice in an airport transfer.

If all the above is the case, I can't wait for my MS! The "old" seats I sat in during the test drive felt super soft and supple compared to a BMW X3 that I had driven the week before. If the new seats are even better, that's great.

Lower side of your budget: 2017 Model S | Tesla Slightly above your budget, but IMO a better deal: 2016 Model S | Tesla I'd also consider the X, here's a pretty great deal: 2016 Model X | Tesla Hope this helps.

Welcome to TMC! I'm similar height and found the Next Gen seats to be okay, but the Premium seats are much more comfortable (a lot). That's not to say that the Next Gens are uncomfortable; far from it, but they're nowhere near as cushy and supportive as the Premium seats. Also, if you take a...

Maybe get a backpack and keep cleaning supplies (i.e. mini vacuum cleaner, wet wipes, etc)? Then again, the frunk would seem like a more logical place for those IMO.

They look loose around the headrests, but then again that's only on the adjustable headrests that I won't have. It's a small concern to me, the pricing is quite good so I wouldn't expect it to be similar to a bespoke upholstery.

I'm considering TAPTES, I don't like fake leather and want perforated leather. If I get a good quote at an auto upholsterer I'll take that, but if not then TAPTES is good alternative. Hopefully TAPTES can do perforation.
