Creases in seats - replacing seat covers

[midnighTesIa]

My model s refresh had creases in the seats upon delivery, and I just got around to taking it to service. They attempted to steam them out, but it didn’t work.

They plan on replacing the seat covers in a few weeks.

Has anyone had experience with getting their seat covers replaced? Sounds like extensive work and I’m nervous how they are going to turn out

That is an easy task and shouldn’t take more than 1.5hours.
Think of the „skin“ containing foam, heater mat and vegan leather as one part being clipped to the metal frame. Btw the same metal frame since 2012.
defacto thats less invasive than drilling the bolts open and replacing the whole seat.
The result is a new looking seat. Someone from the suppliers screwed up.

Thanks!

I had the same issue at delivery on Friday. I have an appointment this upcoming weekend to address that plus a litany of other issues.

I asked them to replace the rear seats because of creasing (that didnt exist on other side). The new rear seats have creases in different areas. *sighs*

I would not bother having the seat covers replaced for that sort of wrinkling. They'll crease like that just from use - especially the seat cushion.

 

[midnighTesIa]

Yeah. I’m leaning towards leaving them as is. I’m afraid of what other issues may come up when they try to replace them.

I had a similar issue and was told that the wrinkles will get better with time once it's warmer outside.

They won’t

Just had my pad seat cover replaced. Not 100% which is hard to believe that Tesla accepts anything but perfect from their Tier 1 suppliers but close enough to accept. Took 2 hours

Not bad, did they replace both front seat covers?

Tier 1 suppliers? They make the seats themselves...

Futuris does make the seat upholstery. Tesla puts them on the frame themselves.
