So far, I had been lucky and any stains cleaned up easily with conventional methods but today, I noticed a stain on the driver's seat. Any idea how to remove this type of stain?

That would be my fear to. Even letting a friend that went from their dusty old car and into my white seat I noticed I ended up with lint and a dot of faint brown. So I've been lucky with a microfiber towel and Meguiar's G13616 Quik Interior Cleaner. I had to restore a old Mini with this stuff and it got the funk out pretty nice.
What have you tried so far?

Magic Eraser with different cleaners. Greased Lightning with baby wipes, baby wipes by themselves.. I even tried acetone on a q-tip.. Armor All interior cleaner, Shout stain remover...

You may have seen this thread - Marks on ultra white seats, permanent?
I've had similar events with leather and fixing wear spots, or the occasional deep scratch.

didn't do any damage..I just used it on a q-tip just at that spot and immediately wiped with a interior cleaner when it didn't work.
If you can figure out what caused the stain you can search Google for what will take it out. There is also an Alexa skill for Tide Detergent where you can ask Tide.
I would try some Isopropyl alcohol (70%) on a clean cloth. (Note: do not use Rubbing Alcohol as it contains a skin lubricant.) This works on ink and chocolate stains better than some other cleaners.

Don't have any at home (except for alcoholic beverages but that won't work).. Will get some today and try it... Hopefully something will work...
If nothing works, I'll get white vinyl paint and use a q-tip to touch up that spot.. Even if it's not a perfect match, it should be less noticeable..

Respectfully disagree with a Magic Eraser. As many others have mentioned, that is a light abrasive. NOT GOOD for the vinyl.
If none of the other suggestions work, you might want to try diluted (10 to 1) degreaser. For example, that's the only thing that works for me to remove sunblock from the black seats.

If you don't mind the price:
Tesla Ultrawhite | Colourlock
This is for Tesla's "Ultra White" color and it works pretty well.
