    I have the light biege seat model S, really impressed with how clean you can keep them. However I'm sure they have a protective coating applied, I got very little blue transfer up to 36000 miles, but then it increased a lot. All my cleaning eventually removed the coating from the side of seat(where you slide in and out). The fix was to reapply a new coating. Best car seats I've had.

    Hey bro. I like your video style. Let me start by saying I have these seats in both the 3 and the X. And I have a 7 and 4 year old in them daily. There’s a huge difference between wiping up spills vs dyes that transfer due to heavy friction rubbing constantly over hours of sitting/driving. I agree that removing dye transfer takes much more effort. However I haven’t experienced significant of it because I rarely wear blue jeans. I like the fact that the white makes it super easy to see dirt and what not for quick pickup. I don’t like the idea of hidden dirt. I like cleanliness. So it depends on the person. I will say that if you spill just about anything on these seats and quickly wipe it up with a wet wipe or even clean tissue you’ll be fine. They’re very good at not absorbing liquid chemicals of all types.

  • @PrimiusLovin
    @PrimiusLovin 5 лет назад +5

    Yes, it's a very zen interior, that's also why I like it: it isn't too cluttered with stuff on the dash, and it feels open and bright with those colors and the panoramic roof!
    It isn't perfect but it's closer to my personal preferences, but people living in cold and snowy places will probably avoid it like the plague.
    It's probably also a good idea to get some white seat cover for the driver's seat for use on most days of the week.

  • @JFlywheel
    @JFlywheel 5 лет назад +10

    Dash is aluminum, My seats showed wear and staining in the first month from the Tesla service center. (wear marks in the left divers side bolster). Basically wrinkles with color transfer. I cleaned them with some diluted leather cleaner but have used diluted APC too (soapy water was not cutting it). I put a ceramic coating on them and it seems to have prevented color transfer. The color transfer becomes more apparent over time so I highly recommend a coating for them! Makes them easier to clean too. I'm using gyeon leather shield, wipe it on and let it dry. Super easy, but takes a while.
    Love the white interior! Seats never get hot!
    BTW I'll be at a year next month and people are amazed how well they are holding up. 16k miles so far.
    I have the glare on the dash. You may not notice it until you tint the windows. But it's bad, makes the mirror almost unusable. happens when the dash is in full sunlight. Hoping to wrap mine this weekend.

Anyone who takes care of their cars, whether they have light or dark interiors, won't have an issue either way as they'll be on top of all that.

    I have the white interior (owned my M3 for 6 months now).

The seats are really easy to keep clean, but in 6 months I've only cleaned them once so far.

      Yes, this is true. I would stay away from alcohol-based and also abrasive cleaners.

    • @BecauseTesla
      @BecauseTesla  Год назад +1

      @@Anas.Majdob0511 Both are nice, but the white looks more special and premium. It also opens up the space inside so it "feels" larger than it is. The black looks more like a "normal" car. So think about your own personality. Are you more conservative in the way you dress and generally non-flashy? If yes, then Black may be the way to go. If you don't mind getting extra attention and compliments in the drive-thru windows...lol..then maybe white would be good for you. My car is almost 4 years old, and I STILL get compliments on my white interior. If you wipe your seats down once a week, you'll never have a problem with them. I'll make a general statement about cleanliness. White seats are generally cleaner than black seats. Why? Because people are more vigilant in cleaning their white seats. They clean them more often. They don't want them to stain, so they wipe them down regularly with either baby wipes or a damp microfiber washcloth. Black seats get just as dirty, but people don't wipe them down as often because black hides dirt better. Out of sight, out of mind. I was on the fence too when I ordered mine, but I thought about all the other cars I could have bought, and Tesla was the only one with a special interior like this. I just figured if I'm going in on Tesla...I'm gonna go all in and get the special interior that I can't get on other cars. I'm also a flashy person, so it matches my personality. That doesn't mean it's right for anyone else though; only you can answer that. Hope that helps a little.

Step 5) apply for an affiliate account with Amazon and Abstract Ocean. Step 6) Earn money in your sleep from commission from sales on those affiliate links that you put in the description of your video. Step 7) Use that money each month to pay your monthly car payment.

A question....¿if I want to supercharge the car but I see the charging time will be less than what I would take a brake...can I reduce the power so it charges slower? if so, how much can one reduce the supercharging power? I know the purpose of the Scharging is charging fast but maybe I want to go to the restroom and shop and stuff, so, just wondering...

    • @BecauseTesla
      @BecauseTesla  5 лет назад +1

      I’ve never tried to slow it down, so I’m not sure. I think it is common courtesy to charge as fast as you can and move so others waiting in line can charge. That being said, my supercharging only takes between 25 - 40 minutes depending on how depleted my battery is. The screen tells you exactly how many minutes you have, so I just plan around that. If there are a bunch of empty stalls, I’ve left it on the charger while I stepped away. It will text you a warning to move the car once it has finished. Sometimes the warning says it will bill you an idle fee if you leave it too long. I think that only happens when all the stalls are used. I’ve been 20 minutes late before, and never been fined. I was the only car using the stalls though. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Why is it $1,000 more than black? The Tesla website makes it sound like the materials are better than in the black. Is it an exclusivity issue? I like the white, but not sure if I like it $1K more. Thanks

    • @BecauseTesla
      @BecauseTesla  5 лет назад +1

      You are correct that it is an exclusivity thing. Same with exterior paint. Why do some colors cost more than others? The white exterior is a multi coat, so it is more expensive to produce, but it is now the free color. Black is cheaper to produce, but costs the consumer more. The interior is even more ridiculous because the materials are identical in every way except color. The only other difference is the dashboard. The black interior has a wood veneer dash, and the white has some type of ceramic white finish. I really wanted the white seats, so I would rather pay the $1000 than spend all that money on an expensive car that I didn’t love 100%. I have no regrets.

    • @Mr5150guy
      @Mr5150guy 5 лет назад

      Because Tesla Yeah, I get it. If you’re going to do it, go all in. Still researching all the variables. I’ve seen mention the white interior has additional USB ports but that doesn’t seem to hold true from what I can tell. Exciting times. I remember as a kid in the 60’s thinking about hitting a button in my car and having it drive me to my grandma’s house. I just didn’t think it would be in my lifetime... Thanks for you vids and your detailed response.

    • @BecauseTesla
      @BecauseTesla  5 лет назад +1

      Larry M same USB ports in both colors. Literally the only differences are color and dash material. I say go with your gut instinct. Here’s something to think about...if you’re trading in a similar sized vehicle, the black interior will look and feel great. If you are downsizing from a larger vehicle (like I did), the white interior definitely feels larger and more open than it really is. Hope this helps.

      Yes and No. Yes, the seats are covered in polyurethane (“PU”), but the old car seats that you speak of were made out of polyvinyl chloride (PVC - “Vinyl”). The Tesla seats feel sooooo much better than the old vinyl seats from the 60s - 90's. In fact, this is the same material used on seating material in multi-million dollar yachts. They are very very soft...almost like calfskin leather.

      I'll give you an honest answer. My co-worker let me drive his Shelby GT500, and I let him drive my Tesla. He was blown away by the instant torque and speed. So I'll answer your question with a few questions. Why do you like your Shelby? If it's only because of the sound of the engine and exhaust, or the way that it shifts into gear...then keep the Shelby. The Tesla does none of that. However, if you just like speed and instant speed...the Tesla may be for you. Are you more old school, or more techie? If you prefer analog dials, then keep the Shelby. But if you're into technology and like the idea of controlling features from a phone app and downloading software updates to the car, etc...then the Tesla may be for you. If you're still unsure...the best thing you could do is call your nearest Tesla showroom to schedule a test drive. It's been my experience that people know immediately if they love it or hate it.
