Daily Driving w/White Interior

Model 3 seats are "vegan leather" (which I find is one of the most oxymoronic terms imaginable). There is no actual animal leather on the seats.

My daily drive hasn't been impacted by the seats. 
But to the gist of your question, it is fine. The vegan leather cleans very easily with a baby wipe or moist towelette, and looks wonderful. I take our dog to daycare in the mornings and he likes to lick the seats and gets regular grime from his paws all over the front of the seat -- it wipes right off.

30K miles in our X and 10K miles in my 3 both with white interior and no problems cleaning the seats. Only a slight bit of dye transfer making the seats look slightly blue from wearing my dark wash or black jeans, but it doesn’t bother me.

Never use baby wipes on upholstery. There are a lot of sites claiming it's a good idea but the few that actually know what they're talking about will advise against it. They are pH alkaline and loaded with aggressive chemicals (some are now advising against their use on babies.) I even came across a link where a young woman had used a baby wipe, once, to clean her violin and it attacked the lacquer. Use well known automotive products. I also have the white interior, BTW.

There's probably more threads, but this should give you some good background

Is Vegan Leather similar to Unborn Naugahyde?
I did a lot of research and have a white interior SR+ on order, but see a black LR just showed up in inventory.

Please stop recommending magic erasers, they are abrasive and will wear the seats.
here is the list of cleaning product recommendations from the seat material manufacturer

Great link. To those who don't know, our seats are Ultraleather, from the attached brand.
Personally 28k on mine and holding up fine. I have used this and it cleans VERY well and is made for synthetic leather. Minimal blue jean transfer as well and it wipes right off. Zero regrets about getting the white (except for the reflection of the white dash trim in my tinted windows, that's another story) even with a teen and a pre-teen.
