Hi all,
this will be my last question before configuration deadline.
Leather seat worth it? $3300! Is 3rd party after-factory alternative available?
I included PUP because I want the HEPA filter and ventilated front seat. I added subzero because people say it makes cold days driving much more comfortable. I upgraded to 90D because it gives you a peace of mind on road trip.
And that is $15,500 more than I planned at the beginning, not including CA tax.
Now someone told me that for such a premium car you should have leather seats, otherwise it looks cheap. Well.
Yeah, in PUP package it says "if configured with Leather interior, PUP gives you leather armrest and steering wheel. Otherwise, you get ripped out and Tesla thanks for your money."
I personally not very interested on it. I prefer to spend money on something that is not just about "look", but on something that is "useful".
Plus, I feel that the Tan interior looks old fashioned, and the White interior has "Black" headliner. I am not perfectly satisfied with either of them. Though I definitely don't like the "All Black" default multi-patterned interior.
Also even the sales person at Tesla says leather seats can get super hot under sunshine.
Finally, I have two 7 and 5 years old boys. They are super naughty and definitely will step on the chairs with their shoes often. And they spill drinks. Is leather chair easier to maintain in that case? or the opposite?
