Congrats to anyone getting an April car

Wonder if they'll be retrofittable.

The new seats look sporty-
Wonder if there are any other changes (cough camera cough cough lighting cough wheeze)?

Well the renders don't show camera or lighting just yet

Do they show sports seats? hard to identify in those pics.

They do. More noticeable if look at the white or cream seats

Those seats look awesome. A bit jelly, to be honest!

Thank God I missed those. I detest any seude on seating surfaces.
That explains the lack of sx at the fremont delivery center.

Not necessarily since this seems to only impact the S Plaid.

Yeah, they didn't do anything like that. They slobbered on some touch up paint. They didn't even clean up the paint chips from the carpet on the inside of the car from the hammering. Incredible.

I am going to ask a genuine question, not to debate you just curious - why care what the door jams / hinges (paging @WilliamG) look like? How often are you looking in there?

I doubt that they are suede, since Tesla got rid of leather years ago. More likely, they are Alcantara.

I am so so glad I waited till April and ordered the Plaid. Those seats look awesome.

They look fine. I like the overall profile. I’m not sure I like the black on the bolsters, despite loving black and white interiors. The emblem is a nice touch but the headrest just feels way too elongated. I’m sure the seats are retrofittable, just depends on how much you want to pay.

I’d imagine the seats are retrofittable given the base S still uses the regular seats. Probably expensive given the seats have an airbag in them now, but who knows.

You could always recoup some money by selling your old seats.

My plan would be to just install them in my mom's model 3. Rails are the same IIRC, and she'd probably appreciate the more comfortable seats.

I do wonder if ventilated seats can be enabled on the pre highland model 3 with a config change. The pins that the highland uses for those are open on the pre-highland (with the other seat pinouts otherwise matching). But I wouldn't be surprised if said body controllers themselves would also need to be upgraded.

I don’t care for the black trim on the seats. I like the profile of the seats though. I’m glad I have my all white seats and didn’t get the sport seats.

If there was a front bumper camera I’d definitely jealous.

Why, as a matter of fact, Tesla says that they will be.
