I had my Tesla Model 3 for about 3 years now. And the seats are still in much better shape than any leather based seat in the same time frame. My parents drive a Mercedes GLC AMG Edition 1, which I think is about 3 years old now, and the seats have gotten wrinkled. And since the seats are race inspired, with curved parts on the sides, it gets even worse since getting in and out will require pressing on them bunch of times. I don't really understand the purpose to put race inspired seats, it looks cool, but inconvenient, most people aren't racing an AMG SUV.
Past luxury cars in the past like a Mercedes E55 AMG from the early 2000s, I think it was about 8-10 years old before it was sold. It was also very wrinkled even though the leather was still pretty nice. Lamborghini Huracan I rented also had wrinkled seats and it was still a new car at the time, around 2017. I really don't like the wrinkled leather seats and it seems in less than a year, you will get them if you get leather.
Is the faux leather from Tesla stay looking newer longer than leather seats from traditional luxury cars like Lexus, BMW, Mercedes? It's already been nearly 3 years and compared to my parent's Mercedes GLC AMG it looks like its in better shape. Before the Tesla I thought I'd just get a commuter BMW or Mercedes, but I was willing to take a chance on Tesla because it felt like it made more sense.
