The sport seats look terrific. Not sure I actually want them, since my Plaid is a distance machine for me and therefore long distance comfort is paramount, but I love that they exist and would like to find a way to test drive them somehow.
Same difference. I didn't mean actual leather inside out. It's a pain to keep clean and doesn't wear evenly.I doubt that they are suede, since Tesla got rid of leather years ago. More likely, they are Alcantara.

I think they look good. Damn, took delivery a few weeks too early.Nah... unless you drive naked. They are no harder to keep clean in my experience, even steering wheels and shift knobs that are constantly soaking up sweat and oil from your mitts. These will just be Alcantara bolsters vice the whole seats, which I've had a couple versions in the past. All you need is elbow grease, some water and good, clean microfiber cloths. Alcantara was actually made to not require any chemicals and to be pretty easy to maintain as long as you keep ahead of the funk curve. How long they hold up is the real problem, especially on the areas (like bolsters) that tend to take the most abuse getting in/out of the seat. Just retrain yourself to get in/out of the vehicle differently if you're worried about it. Fall into the seats vs slide into them. I'm psyched and I think they will look/feel great.
LOL, I feel like thats a common feeling with Teslas, no matter when you take delivery.Damn, took delivery a few weeks too early.
I knew there'd be an update this spring sometime. They have batched all the updates to the S to the spring for the past several years.LOL, I feel like thats a common feeling with Teslas, no matter when you take delivery.

They charge $2000 for a steering wheel and airbag. And this will need the front and rear seats replaced. With the front seats having 2 airbags each.I predict the seat retrofit will be over $2500. Maybe they’ll take old seats on trade in
Yeah I was honestly expecting the seats to be part of a minor refresh or a slightly higher tier of plaid (track pack included and such)I am a bit shocked (because why not) they are not up charging for the seats and making the current LR seats the “standard” Plaid seats.

Probably a volume thing too. The new seat is shared with the model 3 ludicrous, which will probably sell in greater volume than the S/X altogether. So I doubt their overall cost is changing much, but they get to advertise something new for the Plaid.I suspect their BOM on the new seats is saving them money over the previous seats.
How? The old seats were the same across S LR and Plaid minus stitching. To me, buy large orders, less cost of goods. And just throw different stitching in every third seat you make.I suspect their BOM on the new seats is saving them money over the previous seats.
Definitively confirmed as such? If so, they are really starting to blur the lines of the 3/S mark. It’s there, but getting blurrier.Probably a volume thing too. The new seat is shared with the model 3 ludicrous,
