Technically comparing seats today would be cloth 1.5 to next gen leather 2.0
Touché. I forgot they took it away from even black now.

I have a S85 that was delivered 8/14, and now has a defective driver's seat that requires replacement. My Service Center has confirmed the problem and ordered the replacement seat, originally predicting a three-week delivery time. That has now stretched to 5 weeks, and the latest word from the factory is that they no longer stock the seat (obviously a first generation seat) and are "reaching out" to a third party to try to source a replacement. In the meantime my seat doesn't work like it's supposed to and they can't fix it. They now can't predict when (if?) they'll get one. I'm not happy. How can they stop sourcing/stocking parts for cars that are only 17 months old, as is the case with my car?

It was my impression from my old car dealer days, that manufacturers are required to stock parts for a vehicle for a minimum of 10 years from last vehicle produced of that specific Model Year. Someone correct me if I'm wrong?
A link would be helpful. Comparing seats today would be 1.5 to NextGen/2.0.

1.1 = 1.0 seat with the spring adjustment TSB applied. So if the car comes 1.0/1.1 seats, just ask them if the spring TSB was previously applied to the seat and if not, have them apply it. Thus, 1.0/1.1 vs. 1.5 is a better place to compare against. There, basically if it has AutoPilot, it would 1.5/2.0 and if it doesn't have AutoPilot, it is 1.0/1.1.
Assuming this is the thread...
New Seats and Retro Fit Seats - Does anyone know when?
... and you are referring to chickenlittle's experience, I believe his loaner were the 1.1 seats. There was mention in the thread about the EuroCap testing for whiplash, which the 1.0/1.1 seats scored high, but not the top score. It was that "failure" that led to the 1.5 seats and why these seats have a taller and more forward headrest. If chickenlittle or others had been in the 1.5 seats, I suspect they would have noticed the headrests being different.
