This is going to be really tufff ahhh I want my car to stand out but at the same time I would hate my white seats colored in with my jeans so I don’t know!!
Really appreciate the honest feedback! I'm looking at buying a Tesla and keep it for about 10 years, so I'll go with the black interior. But damn! those white seats do look really good
Im going crazy over what color interior to choose. The white looks insanely cool but dammmm I can imagine how high maintenance they will be. I have teenage boys.
I was on the fence between black and white interior for the longest time. I initially ordered the white and THEN i changed my mind last minute after i seen the white interior in person . The white seats looks BEAUTIFUL but i feel like i’ll regret it because it doesn’t fit my personality, not because the possibility of staining which was the least of my worries. The dash panel was also way too bright, it took some time for my eyes to adjust to it. Im not a flashy person and i tend to be private.The black gives me a little bit more privacy rather than it being super bright and open (lots of visibility through the windshield) I also don’t live in the best neighborhood so the white interior will catch a lot of attention. Just want to share my perspective with others like me. Did anyone regret the white interior due to the brightness/ lack of privacy?
Hey eunice, to add this to this. The White seats are definitely bright and reduces the amount of privacy. I have 20% tints on my car and even with darker tints, it feels like a 30% tint.
I’m getting the black seats, the Tesla representative in the showroom told me the same thing that it doesn’t stain but I saw the texture sample in the showroom and there were finger prints and scuffs and dirt on the sample so automatically it was a no. White is beautiful but I can’t see myself getting that color.
Thank you for this video I just switch my model y interior from white seats to black. I was going back and forth but in the long run I much rather maintain the black clean than the white especially when it comes to the discoloration of the stitches. Despite me getting the black seats I just hate the wood panel on the dashboard so I’m just gonna get that part cover up.
I feel exactly the same way about the panel! I wish we could choose to get the wood part of the panel in white or any other color (even plain black) without changing the seats.
The white interior is awesome but I suggest you ceramic coat your seats. That will help a lot and use microfibre cloth and warm water or solution products out there and 💥 BOOM 💥 your seats will be good as new !. The white seats hold up really well so I don’t think you should worry much. BTW I own a Tesla with white seats and that’s just my experience with it.
My wife and I are ordering our first Tesla model Y soon and I wanted white seats but she told me her aunt owns a Model X and she has seen the blue jeans stain on her Model X, she think we are better in a black color seats, and also we have a 1 year old so I guess I have to go for my wife’s decision this time.
Its 2022 and I just left the Tesla lot and spoke with a sales guy that has had white seats in his tesla since 2017 and he still loves them. On the other hand he said that they also have a BMW with white/cream real actual leather seats and because of the vegan leather in the tesla, they don't look at all bad. He said that the BMW real leather seats look like crap now. I think the key is to do the ceramic coating (although he said he didn't use it on his as it didn't exist in 2017), and you'll be just fine. Especially if you do it upon delivery. Changing my order to white right now.
Good vid man! Can u do an update on what the white seats look like now (given u havent sold/swapped this TM3 yet) 1.5 years after the vid? Not sure if u'll even see this comment lol, anyway cheers
I’m here for the same reason as everyone else, but I have one perspective I want to share. I want the white seats sooo I’m going to get them and if they don’t pan out the way I anticipate then I will get black fitted seat covers and no harm no foul. But then I will know the white is under there and when i want the white it’ll be there for me and when I sell the car that resale value will potentially be high. I also wanted to share the opinion about wheels and how I will be getting the Gemini rims and not upgrading because I live in a cold weather climate and I eventually want two pairs of rims. So if it costs 2k for new wheels anyways why blow it on the fancy set when if you just get what it comes from tesla then you can get a slick set for summer tires and be out the same amount. The coolest video I saw on here was the guy who overlands his Y and found the wheel company Martian Wheels and they have 18” wheels designed for the model Y and S. This means a meatier tire with better siping for better bite in the snow. Hell yea. Most definitely checking out these options. TBL, get the white. I haven’t yet but life’s too short to worry about that stuff. It’ll clean and if it doesn’t then ya shouldn’t have had it in the car.
Thanks. I was thinking of changing to white seats and was doubting myself. This clinched it. Thanks!

I am so happy that you made this video...I know I am super late watching it....but I was literally leaning to getting the white seats bc they look so pretty...but after watching this im def. getting the black... 😀
@@chezchezchezchez I got the black and I never regretted the black color, because I changed the dash for real carbon fiber and it looks fucking beautiful
Thank you, this information and the stress on what the problems are helped me make up my mind. I am a country boy... so black seats it is. (love the white, but there is no way I am cleaning the car every week)
Thank you for the on this video. I have seen the white seats, and while they do look great, they seem to be a little too bright for me. I am just about to order my model Y and have decided to go with the black. I actually do like the wood trim also.
It's been 2 years since you made this video, would you like to know how your white seats are now? I'm getting a model 3 and I really want white seats but I'm afraid of becoming a cleaning slave!
Had 3 VW Convertibles with white interiors. The 79 Beetle and the 87 Cabriolet had the “Leatherette” material and it put up with a lot without much fuss. The 90 Boutique Edition Cabriolet had true leather and it was the most challenging to keep up. Lotions and suntan lotion can stain any seat. The I do agree they show everything, however it’s a gradual dulling, darkening over time. When you do take the time to detail the interior, it will blow you away how bright they are when clean again. I’m told on the Tesla because the seats have a coating on them you don’t want to scrub off, use a microfiber cloth only with a touch of dawn dish soap. On the baby wipes, unscented only. Jeans and leather belts might transfer their dye to the seats and may not come out. If you’re a neat freak, go for the white. If Cheerio fights are common in the car, I might opt for the black. I loved my white interiors and they got a lot of attention. I have all black and the black headliner in the Touareg I’m driving now and it’s a different kinda dirty I have to keep up with. Wish I could get the black headliner in a black interior model Y
Awesome video. Thank you for the feedback. I’m getting a model 3 with white seats and custom rims. After your feedback now I’m getting the black interior. Thank you
I'm here for the same reason everyone else is and I've decided to just go with the white, just placed my order. While I've never had white seats before I currently have very light beige color seats and they do get dirty fast but they are not impossible to keep clean. I have a leather protector from the chemical guys that works wonders and not only do stains wipe right off it helps to protect from future stains. I think I'll be ok and besides, I am only leasing it for 3 years.
I had a Mercedes with white leather and I used Maguire's leather cleaner protector about once a mouth, spray them down and whip it off. They stayed clean and like new for 80,000 miles. I also had a Lexus with light gray seats same deal. do not know if tesla seats would clean up like the Mercedes or the Lexus, but it might be worth a try.
The most honest review for white seats. I wanted them but I do the same job as you and people are NOT careful 😒 so... really don’t know.. But at the same time I HATE that wood piece on the black interior... like why oh why!!! They should have made it white! (Or whatever else)
Thats what I’m planning on doing... but I’ll probably just make it white like in the white interior option and suck it up.. since Tesla temporarily removed white seats option in the SR+ until they resolve supply issue.. 😂😂😂
How’s the seats now. Our seats are all good except for the driver seat after about 3 years the seat just looks dull and super stained (only the driver seat tho)
Thanks for being honest! I would love to get the white seats but I think it's going to be to much work to keep clean. How have they held up after a couple years?
You know what, I was gonna get white but I hate cleaning, however, since the cost is $1,200 I might as well get some $250 seat covers that are maybe even cooler than the white and then if those go bad I can take them off to reveal the beautiful black in perfect condition after a few years. Until of course the original seats will sweat underneath and cause deterioration due to that...
Wear a new pair of dark jeans and then oops sweat because you get warm.... and yes you will rub off the stain from the color of your paints, jackets onto your interior, don't forget your door panels.
I really like the white interior but I know about the staining and stuff so when I order my Tesla I am going with the black interior. The only negative about the black interior is that ugly wood piece that goes across the dash. I think it’s hideous I wish they would of kept it black
I ended up with the Midnight Grey (looks blue). BUT, I did keep the white interior. So happy! I also removed the Areo wheel covers and went with the wheels that were hidden. So nice. To bad I can’t attach a photo.
White seats looks very very cool.... only the first day of course.. I prefer to think in advance, and I'd never get white ones!.. I go crazy with every single dirt!..
NO, You are going to abrase the material and make it receptive to dirt and color even more. The magic stuff is just something who is going to make your seat aged pretty fast. Just use something neutral in color with alcohol in it to dissolve the dirt and wrong color printed on the material. You musn't use something which is going to damage the synthetic material. Why not simply read the notice?
Real one for telling us about the staining
your very welcome!

Did you get one?
I’m yet to meet someone IRL who regretted getting the white seats. I’ve met many say they wish they got the white.
Im going crazy over what color interior to choose. The white looks insanely cool but dammmm I can imagine how high maintenance they will be. I have teenage boys.
Black is safe but white is awesome!
So what color did you go with??
@@NavidRashid I have white in my previous BMW and never again. Very well educated!!!

You had me changing my order back to black, until the last 10 seconds. White does look amazing.

Very helpful in making a decision. I love the white seats, but I don’t think they’ll love me.
I just wish i could do the black seats with the white seat interior trim
I had white seats in my classic. Use the magic wipes from Mr. CLEAN. THEY WORK GREAT ON THE WHITE SEATS. MY NEW COLOR WILL B RED

Zara Amina Hossain if anything you can always wrap the wood with a vinyl! Make it matte black!

Tesla Zarina we wrapped our chrome trim white ,f**kin live em

Thank you for the honest review. Just subscribed baba. Gorbonit
Thanks for the honest review bro 💯
Amazing Video!!!! BUT BUT......Does the oil stains come out lol....drop some of them mcdonalds fries on them white seats......lets see
I'm still getting white seats. I rented a Model 3 with white seats and it felt & looked beautiful
RACIST, BLACK SEATS MATTER
Give us an update video of the seats and car update thanks.
Ok I need your opinion on this… should I get a red Tesla 3 with black interior or black Tesla 3 with white interior
That was hilarious! Getting black for sure :)
glad it helped! :)
I am going to be getting one really soon, I really want the white but everyone around me is telling me back what should I do?
Use a fitted seat cover for the driver seat.
How’s the seats now. Our seats are all good except for the driver seat after about 3 years the seat just looks dull and super stained (only the driver seat tho)
Thanks for being honest! I would love to get the white seats but I think it's going to be to much work to keep clean. How have they held up after a couple years?

You can always put white seats cover on top of the black seat. When it gets dirty or you get sick of it, you can always throw it out.
Thank you for the feedback! They look 👍 but I'm going to get the black seats
I really thank you 🙏 for this video
My pleasure 😊
My previous car has red seats and I love it
Good to know bro
I just hate the wood dash…white seats get a different dashboard trim.
white seat for driving uber??
Can you give an update on the white seats. It’s been a year wondering how they have faired
seats still look great after 2 years. Driver seat is no longer pure white but doesn't matter since you are always sitting on it.
@@NavidRashid If you could go back, would you still get them black as you mentioned in the video?
Does the white have more padding then black?
I’ve heard people ceramic coat the seats to help prevent these issues. Nav, maybe that would help you.
dgortner my seats have ceramic coating! I didn’t mention it in the video but that was the first thing I did to the car lol. Made no difference
Navid Rashid many Ceramic coating was the issue of you not being able to clean it with baby wipes? Very important part you left out from your video.
that was my worry - very visible dirt...so i guess its black interIor for me then..on MY. THANKS MAN FROM NY!
You have not tried other polishes besides the baby wipes?
BLACK SEATS!
I think white only works with white exterior...I am still debating on white on white or blue on black
Good work
Still a problem in model 2021?
Isn’t it recommended to use a non-detergent soap with water? Just make sure you get all the soap residue off and buff it dry.
A lot of things are recommended, I personally have Been sticking with the baby wipes and has been doing well enough for me :)
@@NavidRashid I thought you said the baby wipes did not get all your stains out?
Have you tried washing ?
Wear a new pair of dark jeans and then oops sweat because you get warm.... and yes you will rub off the stain from the color of your paints, jackets onto your interior, don't forget your door panels.
absolutely this will happen
Your lats are just too beastly bro
I wish the tesla model y had cream seats
I wish as well
@@NavidRashid THEY HAVE IT ON THE MS AND MX..WALNUT.
Nvm I want the black seats now
Have considered seat covers?
not a bad idea!
I really like the white interior but I know about the staining and stuff so when I order my Tesla I am going with the black interior. The only negative about the black interior is that ugly wood piece that goes across the dash. I think it’s hideous I wish they would of kept it black
Baking soda for grit and 99% alcohol cleans up almost everything.
Have you tried those two on tesla seats?
get white seat covers i highly recomend getting those!
Which wrap did you use for the center console ? Looking very nice and matching the white interior better than the popular matte wrap.
This one was the Gloss Carbon Fiber On amazon!
Just ordered a White model y with white interior. Now, I’m torn on switching to black...
Stick to the white... Its been almost a year since I have had it and I still love it.
Get them ceramic coated
I ended up with the Midnight Grey (looks blue). BUT, I did keep the white interior. So happy! I also removed the Areo wheel covers and went with the wheels that were hidden. So nice. To bad I can’t attach a photo.
It needs something with alcohol in it and no color. I'm sure it is indicated in the manual how to clean it.
When your seats get crappy after a few years you can always stain them black
Haha
White seats looks very very cool.... only the first day of course.. I prefer to think in advance, and I'd never get white ones!.. I go crazy with every single dirt!..
You need to learn how to properly clean them. Use Hydrosilex, Coconut oil or Chemical guys leather cleaner. And ceramic coat them once cleaned.
If you still have this problem, have you tried using magic eraser?
A magic eraser is pretty rough and may damage the smooth texture of the seat. I will do more research and see if anyone has tried yet
Navid Rashid The Tesla dealerships use magic erasers to clean them!
NO, You are going to abrase the material and make it receptive to dirt and color even more. The magic stuff is just something who is going to make your seat aged pretty fast.
Just use something neutral in color with alcohol in it to dissolve the dirt and wrong color printed on the material.
You musn't use something which is going to damage the synthetic material. Why not simply read the notice?
@@saultg5496 If it's true, then, they are dumb.
Yann Roger I don’t know for sure but that’s what I’ve heard
White seats had no issues ceramic coated and all wipes away they set the car off blacks abit boring
Have you tried soap and water or 409?
Not yet! Will try to clean after winter is over
@@NavidRashid any updates on the soap and water?
Ahhhh. I have 8 yr old twin girls. Yeahhh I think I have to get black. Shoot. Lol
That comes from YOU not cleaning the Seats xd
You first mistake was trusting a car salesman
Yea, same as bank teller. Don’t trust them xD
Doggy rides with us everywhere....seats must be black
Its white seats bro, 🙄, i would never buy white interior.
Hehe take shower more often. Hehe
Crying over a small amount of stain.. wow.
wtf is this. too much face no car.
