Crack in White Pleather

[beastmode13]

August 2018 deliver with 22k miles. I noticed these cracks on the driver seat pleather. I’m not a big guy, the only time the side panel sees any compression or stretch is when I ingress and egress. Have other white interior owners see this type of cracks? I have experienced crack like these in my other cars, but at close to 10yr mark not 2yr.

I contacted Tesla SC about this. Unfortunately, it’s not covered under warranty.

If it really bothers you, any car interior shop can fix it for cheap. I’d roll with it because it’s hard to see

Yeah I have it in mine too. Same year build and mileage. It is what it is

Tesla quoted $440 for the cover, $108 for labor. I will just leave it alone until I want a complete refresh of interior with aftermarket covers.

I have a 2019 Model 3 with white interior and both passenger and driver seats are showing similar signs of wear on the lower lumbar area and on the interior sidewalls...I'm already looking into the cost of replacing the material of the seats. Yikes!
