This is actually an upgrade that goes with Plaid speed (which is a notch above Ludicrous speed)
That was the inspiration, of course.

To keep it operational, not to keep it’s interior to match.It is my understanding that automotive manufacturers are mandated by law to keep parts available for a certain number of years, however hard to say what kind of changes would be OK for them to make?
The funny thing is that genuine Alcantara and genuine Ultrasuede are owned by the same company.Interesting
Makes sense, since none seem to be availableThe funny thing is that genuine Alcantara and genuine Ultrasuede are owned by the same company.
Perhaps I've just been lucky but my car is about 15 months old now and the Alcantara still looks great.The Alcantara might look nice new, but they wear so poorly that it will look like crap after a few months.
The Alcantara might look nice new, but they wear so poorly that it will look like crap after a few months. Good luck if you ever get any people who like to run their hands through it. Also you are lucky they are not on the seats like the Porsche. All they do is absorb your sweat and moisture and then they stick up like little hair. It's super gross.
... over 5 years for me. Wearing just fine.Perhaps I've just been lucky but my car is about 15 months old now and the Alcantara still looks great.
Here is the respond I got from Executive Care Team:
Hello Eric,
As we continue to increase production of Model 3 and produce more high quality cars for customers, all Model 3 vehicles are being made with the same premium textile headliner found in our flagship Model S and Model X vehicles, which has always been planned at this stage of production. The Model 3 is a great car, and the premium package (PUP) retains premium finishes throughout the cabin, and benefits from a variety of other functional enhancements including premium audio, upgraded side mirrors, and heated front and rear seats.
This is the product that we are making going forward, and we did not communicate that customers would receive a specific material. We made this transition in S/X some time ago, and have been referring to this material as a Premium Headliner in those vehicles.The current material is also a premium headliner, but with a different texture, where durability has remain unchanged, and this is our product that we stand behind.
I hope this helps clear things up for you, and my apologies if it was not the exact response you desired. Thank you for being part of our growing Tesla family!
