This is absolutely something that would be appropriate for people to raise a stink about. This is clearly anything but a premium material.

Well, I have photos to prove it changed. It is definitely cloth now other than the visors that are still suede material. Very strange mixture.
They better make sure now that SR gets a Subpar TextileI think the official name is Premium Textile.
Same stuff as in my 10 year old GMC truck.This is absolutely something that would be appropriate for people to raise a stink about. This is clearly anything but a premium material.
Can’t tell if serious or sarcastic....
Just picked up my 3, and it had a gas engine in it! It has Alcantara headliner though, so I went ahead with it.
We just picked up Model 3 VIN 2942 from the Fremont delivery center today. The headliner doesn't look like alcantara, but it looks and feels pretty nice and I didn't even notice it until I found this thread. I think it looks much nicer than the headliner in my early 2013 S85. Here is a quick photo I took of the of the area just above the center of the windshield of our new Model 3. Since we are lucky enough to get an early Model 3, I'm more than happy to take more photos of specific areas of the car upon request.

Confirmed that this is different headliner from the one in the car I picked up from Fremont delivery center yesterday.
If their QC couldn't catch a goofed headliner what could they even catch?I'm pretty convinced that this is a mistake.
Occam's razor says that someone in the factory goofed and loaded a bunch of cloth headliners (intended for non-PUP cars which we were supposed to be building by now, and so there's probably a pile of them lying around the factory) into the line by accident.
There's no reason to believe that Tesla would be making such a significant design change this early, and if they were doing it to cut costs, they'd be cutting the alcantara off the sun visors too.
For what its worth, the cloth headliner looks like the same stuff that's in my 2014 S.
