I'm not sure if I'm nitpicking or not so I'm hoping to get feedback from the group as to how their model 3s are doing regarding the seats.
I did reach out to Tesla service and they said they needed the engineering team to look into it in order to give feedback on how to proceed. That's totally fine with me and I'll update this post with their comments when they get back to me.
Basically I'm experiencing two minor issues with my seats. In the back, on the driver's side, some of the material is very loose around the seat cushion. It does appear attached, but there is a ripple of extra material that extends the length of the seat. I'm worried that it might snag on something or get abused over time by the kids and cause a rip. It's hard to photographer but I would say there is a good 1/4" extra material that is coming loose.
The second issue is the front driver's seat. I'm getting wear lines/creases in spots of the seat that I've never experienced with other cars. My last 3 cars have had leather or some kind of synthetic leather like the model 3 and none of them showed any crease lines like that the entire time I've had the car. I'm starting to see them with only 1 month in of sitting on them. The picture I attached is after the car has been sitting overnight. These are permanent creases and I worry that overtime I'm going to have an issue with tears or rips. For context, I'm 6,2" 180 pounds, so I don't think my body type really should be stressing the material.
So the questions I was hoping to get feedback on from everyone is:
1) are your seats similar?
2) would you consider these legitimate issues?
3) if this is normal wear for Tesla seats does anyone have some pictures of how they look a few years down the line (model s/x obviously).
Thanks
