Now that you have had some time to become intimately familiar with your new refresh Model S I have to ask - how is your wood?
Even though some of you will not admit it, I have no doubt that you have spent time just sitting in your car and playing with it. You have certainly touched your wood. It may have been brief and way too quick or long and deeply satisfying, but if you have it, you have definitely touched it.
I showed it to my service advisor and asked her to touch it. She did and thought it was not right. I even asked the lead technician to feel it and he also thought it was wrong.

Who knew that all you have to do is show your cracked and split wood to Tesla and they would replace for you?
One last thought, if they can't do a quality natural wood replacement for me I'm going to ask for the artificial alternative, it'll last forever.
