I considered the white. My mother bought a brand new Caprice Classic in 1976: Fire engine metal flake red, white landau top AND white leather interior. HARD to keep looking good. My father and I would do our best in keeping the leather clean but, MAN, a LOT of work. Yeah, I know....it's 2019 and we have "pleather". Still, I just couldn't do it. The white is really beautiful!

15% Isopropyl alcohol 85% water is what I used. Be sure to use something like a white waffle weave microfiber cloth so you can see if anything is coming off your seat. I folded my cloth into quarters and used one section per seat. More came off the drivers seat than I expected.
Another member listed this company as the source of the fabric. https://www.ultrafabricsinc.com/sit...onment/CleaningInstructionsGeneral_1-2017.pdf
Is it true? I do not know, Please see this thread Cleaning vegan leather interior
If you have stains just use isopropyl alcohol and do not dilute it.

thanks! it's a wrap I bought from Amazon ($10?), it's a "must do" to cover the piano black console surfaces. i believe a member here also makes them, the other thing you have to get is the $5 console tray insert.

Don't know. I have tried but I can't see any reflection on the front window. On the side windows, under some lighting conditions, yes, but as yet never on the front window, no matter what the lighting conditions. Quite happy about that.

It has to be not quite as bad as the white but it gets worse if you tint the windows.Don't know. I have tried but I can't see any reflection on the front window.

The stripe goes right across the drivers side mirror, passenger side isn't as bad.

Tinting front windows (windshield, driver and passenger side front windows) is illegal in Germany, so no problem there.

I love my white interior with the carbon fiber. You will want to seal the seats with ceramic coating though.

It is here too, but just about every other person does it anyways, myself included on the 3 since it keeps the interior much cooler in our hot summers.
You can ceramic coat the seats yourself. I used Gyeon Leather Shield. Put on gloves and wipe it on and let it dry. There is no wipe off with Gyeon. Super easy to apply, just time consuming.

That's the difference. Over here, no one appears to "do it anyway". Our police love to enforce such laws. Motto: the less important the law, the more strict it is enforced.

I have always loved my white interior and will always love it. It is more of a committment to keep it clean but it makes your tesla look like a spacepod from the future.

I've never had a white interior car but ever since I saw the 3 with white seats in a showroom, I know exactly what my next car will look like.
I love the white interior and another huge bonus is not having the wood dash insert. I've always hated with a passion wood inserts in cars.
