Does anyone know the extent of this issue? I've been on Tesla's forums diligently the past few weeks before placing an order yesterday and did not see this issue...just came across the leather wear problem late last night on this forum. We planned to use the car frequently - with 3 kids, so we'd be getting in and out of the car a lot...I'm spending $20K-$30K more on a car than I typically do and buying "new, " as opposed to slightly used for the first time in over 15 years...I would be more than disappointed if this happened to my car with a 100K miles, let alone, a few thousand miles. The fact Tesla reps have stated this would not be covered under warranty does not give me a warm and fuzzy feeling about the purchase. I can justify foregoing some of the "niceties" other luxury sedans have (lighted vanity, door storage, console storage, parking lines; obstacle detection, etc.) because it's such a cool driving experience and really historical. But, if this "failure" of the design/leather is likely to occur in my Model S and not be covered under warranty, it'd give me great pause...Perhaps I'm more suited to be a late "early adopter" or even in the "early majority" of the innovation life cycle...
