Tesla must have changed things up with the motor swap. Prior to this it was a single battery. Still 120 lbs for 25kwh of extra battery? Maybe they lighten other stuff up.

Model S Mistake? Advice appreciated

Before I bought my Tesla, they brought one to the house to let me drive it for a portion of the weekend. I specifically asked if they could bring one with the textile seats since I had never seen one with them.
So they brought an S with the textile and the one they drove back in was the ‘leather-like’ seats. My wife and I jumped from one to the other and came out both agreeing the textile seats felt more comfortable and supple.
I never regretted that decision and would have paid extra for it.

While Tesla have done this in the past on a few cars I think we all know that this is BS.
Side note. If it were true, the smaller battery pack is actually safer in event of a rollover, just saying it's not all bad.

I did not read all the replies to this, Its not leather anyway, its pleather. Actually the seats you got might not be at the top of the list, I can tell you they may breath better. You got a great car, doing anything will be a financial bath.
You mean a 2013 is the same as a 2019?
Model years mean plenty
Insurance, Excise Tax, Resale Value, Vintage computers, Available Options
Just like any other car.
Just because Tesla doesn’t batch changes like other cars doesn’t mean when it was built doesn’t matter.
Actually you’re right, year doesn’t matter. Build date matters.
If I were to get a 2019 I get one with a build date that has HW3 from the factory. If I were to get a 2018 Model 3 I’d want a build date late in the year with new seats, suspension, roof mounting.
Actually, with Tesla you’d probably want a late build date for any year you get because they constantly make improvements.
In fact I think it matters less with ICE cars because sometimes they make absolutely no change, often for the full model years and sometimes for a couple years. That never happens with Tesla.

True. But build dates matter to get those as well.
You can't get the car I bought for that matter.
Model 3 Performance without the 20" Wheel package. It will be a collectors item some day (cough cough).
