Any recommendation on protecting the interior of the brand new Model Y LR?

Hi,

We recently bought MY LR with black color seats option. Since it's brand new, does anyone have recommendations on protecting the brand-new interior in the long run from UV, stains, etc?

I hear people use ceramic-based coating for the interior.

How do you protect/SEAL the brand-new interior (vegan leather seats & other interior parts)? Thanks.

No need to coat.

 
Thanks for the responses. Unfortunately, it got posted in the X forum. I will repost it in the Y forum.
Last point: I like the idea of using products with UV protection, anti-dust properties, etc. However, I wonder if these chemicals [fumes] (e.g., ceramic coating or other) have negative side effects on health - breathing/touching them constantly while in the car. Note that some of them last for up to 1 year on the surfaces. I am not saying they are all bad; I am also considering healthy consequences.

Why not using seat cover?

I put some neoprene seat covers (Wet Okole) because I donc like
leatherette material which is sticky on the skin, hot in summer and cold in winter.
The neoprene material provides an additional soft layer like memory foam.
Also no worry to damage the seats, in particular the rear seat where I carry various items.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing the advice about not using aftermarket seat covers. While it's important to consider different perspectives, let me provide you with some insights into why many Tesla owners still choose to use aftermarket seat covers, such as our Seat Covers:

Protection: Aftermarket seat covers are designed to provide an extra layer of protection for your original seats. They can help guard against spills, stains, fading, and wear from everyday use.

Preservation of Resale Value: Keeping your original seats in pristine condition can contribute to the resale value of your Tesla. When it comes time to sell or trade in your vehicle, well-maintained seats can make a positive impression.

Customization: Aftermarket seat covers offer the opportunity to customize the interior of your Tesla to your preferences. You can choose from a variety of colors, materials, and styles to match your personal taste.

Comfort: Some aftermarket seat covers, are designed with comfort in mind. They include features such as perforated sections that work well with seat heaters, providing an enhanced driving experience.

Ease of Cleaning: Cleaning and maintaining aftermarket seat covers can be simpler than cleaning the original seats. Many seat covers are machine washable or easy to wipe clean.

Easy Installation and Removal: Tesery Seat Covers are custom-fit and designed for easy installation and removal. This means you can enjoy the benefits of seat covers without complicated installation procedures.

While it's true that some concerns have been raised about aftermarket seat covers affecting airbag deployment or interfering with seat sensors, reputable manufacturers like Tesery take these factors into consideration during their design and testing processes. It's always a good idea to choose seat covers from established brands that prioritize safety and compatibility with your vehicle's features.

Ultimately, the decision to use aftermarket seat covers is a personal one, and it's important to weigh the potential benefits against any concerns. We believe that our Tesery Seat Covers offer a blend of protection, customization, and comfort that can enhance your Tesla ownership experience. If you're interested, we encourage you to explore our seat cover options and consider the advantages they can bring.

I bought a set of Tesery seat covers in mid June 2022. I have not fitted them yet partly due to ( wise after the event) concerns arising from Tesla's advice - which you have now dispelled in your response - and also because my white seats, after 13 months, are holding up so well. I bought black covers with red trim thinking that it might be fun to ring the changes. Perhaps now I can fit them in full confidence that the air bags and seat sensors, will not, as you imply, be inhibited nor will the original seat surfaces be in anyway adversely affected by the covers.
Thank you for that.

Thank you for the reassurance on the safety aspects. May I take it as read that concerns around damage or wear to the seat surfaces from using the covers are unfounded.

The only reason I could think is to chek that there is an opening on the side to allow the air bag to deploy.

Othwerwise, I don't see any reason, of this statement. Can you provide a link for it?

Regarding your concerns about potential damage or wear to the seating surfaces, it's important to note that our seat covers are designed to actually help protect your original seating surfaces. They act as a barrier against everyday wear and tear, such as spills, stains, and abrasion. This can help preserve the condition of your Tesla's seats over time, keeping them looking great.

So, your decision to use seat covers not only enhances the style of your interior but also adds a layer of protection for your seating surfaces.
