We have bought or leased 4 Teslas. The first one was the best, an early Model X in blue. Gorgeous leather seats and smelled like leather! But visibility was poor so we traded up for a newer Model X. To my chagrin, somehow the leather seats did not return. But car smells ok, not great. Next, a Model 3 for my husband. Smells ok. Next, a basic Model 3 for my son, just arrived in August 2019. This car smells like an organic chem lab experiment gone bad. My poor son thought it was his teenage body. But I can attest that it is not. There is something in the car's interior that is producing this weird chemical. Now we are turning to the club to see who else is experiencing this. As early adopters of electric cars, we were beta testers for the first BMW electric car, a precursor to the toy that is currently selling. It had an issue with the charger. When my husband posted to the BMW board, instead of treating his post as useful information, the admin immediately banned him from the site. This car was ultimately deemed a lemon and they returned most of our money. So I have my doubts as to how much progress we can make on this within the Tesla Motors Club, but I thought I would give it a try. Thanks. We are in California, near Fremont and a service center.
