    Black seat issues

    Wow this does look amazing! I am considering burgundy or white ! Do you think the white will be a hassle with jeans transferring etc like it is on the standard white Tesla seats ??? Or could I spray them with something or ?

    Black seat issues

    Yeah the notes say cusotmer was correct in that seat was fault and adhesive coming through etc but they’re saying now they think it was because of me given it happened a second time. 😶‍🌫️

    Black seat issues

    I wear aluminium free roll On deodorant (native ) and no one else has touched my car without me in it and the passenger seat has been sat in 2 times (live alone ). I understand your point re statistics but I literally am going crazy as I know I’ve had zero interaction with the seat in the areas...

    Black seat issues

    I am but they really don’t seem to give a F 😅 and I’ve seen other people comment on similar experiences where they’re told it’s their fault and Tesla don’t admit a thing

    Black seat issues

    I don’t use anything like that on my hair I wash and shampoo as normal standard products , no dry shampoo no leave in conditioner no perfume no sunscreen no nothing , it’s so frustrating when people say this because as they owner of the car I know it’s 10000% none of the above. I am so vigilant...

    I’ve never worn sunscreen in the car ever so it’s emphatically not sunscreen

    Black seat issues

    I just realised they can just say that I put the tape on top of the white stuff and that they can’t prove it wasn’t put there when there was on white stuff (given they’re already denying it’s the seat I can’t see them just accepting it even if documented )😑 thought it was a great idea though

    Black seat issues

    Thank you/ this is a fantastic idea! Maybe lightweight clear sticky tape so it doesn’t damage the seat when pealing off ? And true regarding your second point however if there’s a flaw in the adhesive stuff they’re using that could explain it ? Because 10000% I didn’t do anything to make it...

    Black seat issues

    Agreed, previously i had a bmw and bmw were fantastic in fixing any issues , they never tried to attribute blame to me , it’s been the worst customer experience ever and if I didn’t lvoe driving the car I would be selling it. People have suggested getting it upholstered which isn’t ideal as I...

    Black seat issues

    The old seats are differnt to three new ones Tesla told me the newer models are differnt seats so I guess you can’t compare to a 5 year old Tesla. See below no lotions or chemicals or anything no dust nothing , they admitted when they replaced the seat first time and opened it up it was the...

    Black seat issues

    None of the above I don’t get in my car with any sunscreen on ever I am meticulous about it and as mentioned it happened in the first week when I’d barely even sat in it! They admitted when they replaced it the adhesive was coming through the stitching and that’s what is recurring over And over...

    Black seat issues

    Initially when they replaced the seat they said they could see the adhesive material leaking through the stitching (which is where it always starts) so they admitted it! But since it happened again they are saying it must be my fault however it’s happened in the exact same spot in the same way...

    Black seat issues

    No I haven’t cleaned it with anything or ever worn sunscreen near the areas. I get in my car in the morning and often it’s come through overnight. The same thing happened after they replaced the seat it was fine a few weeks then bam. Then they cleaned it and a few days later started happening...

    Black seat issues

    It does wipe off but it kinda stains it like leaves a light patch after.. and I just don’t see how they should get away with this issue in a $80,000 car ?? And how they are dealing with it is incredibly frustrating … however they said it will keep happening which in part acknowledges a design /...

    Black seat issues

    Hi there. I got a 3 long range and within 2 weeks of having it my black seats started peeling and flaking this white spot in a part of the seat I don’t have any interaction with. It looked like the white stuff was coming through the stitching. Tesla replaced it under warranty and admitted it...
