Cloth or Leather seats

Black cloth seats will not get as hot (or cold) as dark leather seats. They'd still be a good choice in hot climes.

The website shows still no color option than black for textile seats. Do people currently discussing orders with Tesla hear or know differently? Any rumored changes coming? For a southeasterner, I'm very leery of a black interior for temperature reasons (suppose it would hold color longer, however) -- any comments on that?

If you're worried about the seats themselves getting and retaining heat, I would (and did) take black cloth over grey/tan leather any day. My car was heatsoaked to an indicated (app) 120*F yesterday and I just got in and drove away. The seats were down to body temp before I could even start sweating.

No matter what you choose, you can always vent the roof (if optioned) and turn on the AC before you get to the car to pre-cool it.

Quite a discussion. Ordered an S85 this week with a late September delivery. Living in Arizona we went with the textile seats to be cooler in the summer as for example it will be close to 110 degrees today.

The product specialist in the Tesla gallery showed us how the leather seats in the showroom cars are already starting to stretch and buckle from customers getting in and out of the car all day. We really liked the tan leather but went with textile for summer comfort.

Leather or textile, you can fit seat covers in whichever color, and that is my plan: Textile seats, with a light grey/silver color, which will match the silver-metallic paint of the car anyway.

Have you you found a vendor for the rear seats, or are you okay with a "2-tone"?
