Imperfections in Ultra White Seats

[JLMA]

I just took delivery of a model x 75d and am thrilled to finally be a part of the tesla family.

When I was taking a look at the ultrawhite interior today for the first time in natural light, I noticed that each of the seats has one or more imperfections (e.g., small creases near corners of stiches or wrinkles).

I wouldn’t be surprised if most seats have imperfections on them but would appreciate hearing about what others have seen in their own cars.

Some photos of mine are above. (I apologize in advance for the picture quality)

I took delivery of a Model X with ultra-white seats recently, but I probably wouldn't have noticed these little creases. I can inspect mine when I get back from traveling later this week if nobody has answered you by then.

On mine, there were some black blemishes that cleaned off easily for the DS using Wurth Eco Multi-Purpose Cleaner.

Thanks. I had some black blemishes too but I didn’t pay attention to what they used to clean it off. Good to know!

I've seen stats somewhere that owners of luxury cars who demand the most out of their dealers (manufacturers, I guess) and request even the slightest "imperfections" fixed, are C300 and 320i drivers...

When I was taking delivery of my ML350 I did ask them to fix all cosmetic issues

Good part about MB is they ARE perfect on exterior (perfect alignment, tiny gaps)

but the seat, wood trim are common to have issues.

My driver's seat has a 2 cm section where the shoulder and back cushion aren't stitched correctly. The two pieces just aren't closed completely. It's only visible from the back seat and likely invisible if the seats weren't white. I missed it at delivery inspection. Still, it's poor workmanship.
I showed it to the service folks when I was there for another matter. One look and they're ordering another driver's seat. They didn't even question it.

I wonder what Tesla does with defective seats? They must have stacks of them.

My seat has same problem.

Good part is it’s not squeaking

SC told me they hire car seat leather specialist to fix those issues, at least in Toronto
