Perforated seats durability?

[Marcus Adolfsson]

No update... I checked my wives shoes and pants, not obvious object that could have caused the damage.

Are you sure you checked all of your wives?

Maybe rings? Does she perhaps brace hands on cushion for ingress/egress? Only reason I ask it would take a fair amount of force to punch through the pleather.

Handstands on the seat with her wedding rings turned inward.

How about a purse or handbag that was placed on the floor of the driver seat. Then... the 2nd row was moved forward causing the driver's seat to move forward and get pierced by the purse or handbag.

Another thought was pointed fingernails that inadvertently were positioned toward the front of the driver seat.

Resulting in impressions caused by ludicrous acceleration.

Is it possible they were there at delivery and you just didn't notice until now?

Sorry to cross post, but more discussion of the synthetic white seat durability issues in this thread post:
Model Xs in Buena Park Showroom Service Center

I was at the meet Model X event yesterday in Highland Park, and I saw identical holes in the Ultra White leather. The only difference was that the holes were on the left second row seats. I will do a full rundown of the seats in my car once I get it (Should be a few weeks?) :biggrin:

With all these concerns about the fragility of pleather and leather seats, anybody here opted to get the standard multi-pattern black seats?
Well, I did when I confirmed my X90D a couple of hours ago, but still considering tan leather. I have 1 week to decide.

I have only seen issues with the white pleather seats. What is wrong with the upgrade tan/black ones?

BTW I have black ventilated leather in a 15 year old Acura and aside from some minor creases in the non ventilated part, they are in perfect shape. I just give them a little Armor All every several months and maybe once a year some leather conditioner.

Was at the Meet the Model X Event today in Costa Mesa CA (Assume the same cars from Buena Park), and there was a 2nd row seat (white) with two significant holes.

All the Tan/Black ones looked fine though.

We discovered another issue. If you leave the 3rd row seats folded down, which I planned to do almost all of the time, be prepared for significant creases in the leather. Can't decide if I will live with the creases or go through the hassle of folding and unfolding the seats since we will very rarely use them.

This thread is seriously making me consider spending the $500 to change to black leather. Creases are more hidden, and the leather appears (anecdotally, of course) to be more durable than the synthetic.

Based on the latest info from the Model X tour that I posted a link to earlier in this thread, I am no longer considering paying $500 to switch to the white synthetic.

If you end up changing your order, tell me if they charge the extra for the price increase on high amperage charger upgrade.

From data in this other thread, it appears that it's possible more than one set of Meet Model X vehicles with UW seats have tears. If so, it doesn't speak well at all to the durability.

Marcus, any update as to Tesla's response? Also, anyone else with Ultra White want to chime in about their experiences with durability (good and bad)?

 

[spentan]

This is cause for concern, as I have a Pearl White on White 90D ordered for my limo business. Considering that we have lots of people getting in and out of the car, I'm really hoping that there isn't an issue with durability.

Has anyone followed up successfully with Tesla Service as to whether this would be an ongoing future issue? Otherwise I'll consider switching from white to tan.
