Front Passenger Seat Wrinkles

[andrewxie]

Hi guys! Just got my new 100D about 2 months ago. Loving everything about this suv!

I jus noticed the front passenger seat has some wrinkles this morning. The leather has some wrinkles on it. Just wondering is this normal or it has to be sent to check?

Thank you!

Mine has something similar not as much but similar on my black interior, it’s not bothered me though, I’d suggest waiting and seeing if it gets worse then got SC.

I was told I could wait up to 6months for a replacement seat

My 2016 X 6 seater has one in front and 2nd seat. no one has ever ask me about this. someone told me to wet a cloth. and rub it in and it would shrink. I never tried it.

My 2015 has terrible cracks and wrinkles in both front seats.

Easily the worst quality leather I’ve had in a vehicle. And this was back when they were using the real stuff.

"Has" implies you didn't get them to fix it... Point out that Bjorn just got brand new front seats in his X for free, and they were only stained by his jeans.

I did not get them to "fix" it. I am also not a youtube celebrity.

The artificial material they are using now is miles better than the real leather. I don't have a single wrinkle on my seats and they have a nicer feel too. I had an old loaner a few months ago with the real leather and I agree it was cheap and nasty.

I would complain about that. My ultra-white seats have no wrinkles or creases after a year and 17k miles use.

lol was it Bjorn or Erik (daelrik) that rubbed his brand new jeans on the white seats for 3 months to test out stain removal?

I think it's just 200,000km of rubbing his denim-clad arse on it.

Same issue here.

Has anyone ever got their seats re-upholstered or got that priced?

Would like to know this as well. It’s a weak spot I would consider getting fixed for the right price.

i got my used 2016 and noticed this on both my front seats. I asked the service center and they told me it was normal. They would not replace them, but they did give me a quote for replacing at my own cost. I think they thought i had unlimited funds. $3252 for drivers seat and labor :O I'd be very surprised if anyone got their seat replaced if this is the only issue. Wish I could get mine replaced, but I can't pay for that.

I guess you need to have a popular YouTube channel and two free Roadsters on order to get your defective seats replaced for free.

Actually wasn't his X free as well? Free seats for his free car. Lucky guy.

My front passenger has wrinkles too. But I'm not going to trade her in.

I took my mx to the SC and they put some stuffing in the seat to help with the wrinkles, but that caused the car to think some was on the seat all the time and would not shut off. After i took it back they ended up replacijg the seat for free i would call the 800 number and then have them set up a appointment with the sc.

But can't you press her to try to get the wrinkles out?

 

[andrewxie]

Wow! Thank you all for great responses! So half is wrinkled and half not? Hmm, I was so surprised to see mine actually, only 4k km, especially Tesla claims that the seat has been "over-layered" with "tough materials".
I have contacted my service consultant, he told me that it is "quite normal" for the wrinkles...
I was wondering if I can use some aftermarket products, like "leather conditioner or cleaner" to get them less noticeable.

 

[Sirricardo]

I would not accept that. It is not normal...
Go onto autotrader and look at some photos of seats in similar cars for sale.
See for yourself if it is 'normal'.
