That is the thing, I wish Tesla offered a tan option for cloth! I would imagine a lot more people would go with cloth over leather if there was more choice in colors.
I would have preferred gray cloth.

So all those people who do not want to see dead cows or vegan, please petition Musk for more cloth color options!
For me, because I have young kids, it comes down to a single factor: Leather is easier to clean. Otherwise, I prefer cloth.
I ordered grey leather. I do not care for the look and feel of cloth seats especially black. I find leather easier to keep clean. If you wipe it down with leather conditioner/cleaner once a week it will last the life of the car. The key is to not let it dry out...
I would have gotten cloth had seat heaters and 12way been offered when I purchased my Model S. However, I would sure like them in some other colour than black. My experience with leather in the past has been very poor. In general, three years and leather seats are trash. I really don't know why car buyers insist on them.
Can I have the hands of all those who "wipe it down… once a week?"
What wipe down product do you recommend ?I do. A must in Arizona if you want leather to last.

I had an Audi TT with NAPA leather seats. Despite babying the seats, and using a high quality conditioner once a month, the bolster still cracked within 10000 miles. Leather conditioners don't usually work, because the leather has a vinyl coating to protect it (try putting a few drops of water on the seats and see what happens!). I got the cloth, because I don't think the performance seats are worth the money. This was one of the hardest option choices for me.
I'm now even more glad I went with cloth. Weekly seat maintenance to prevent them from being destroyed? No thanks...I have to disagree here. I have had cars for up to ten years with no cracks in the leather. The last five cars I have owned had leather. No Cracks. My Wife's 14 year old avalon, no cracks. You do have to wipe them down with a good cleaner/conditioner once a week to keep in good condition. Once a month is not enough especially if you use the seat heaters. It takes all of 5 minutes to do it... And it makes them shine...
