URGENT : Seats error // Need to choose

[dsm363]

I think I will keep as it is... like it without the red piping!
Seems that you prefer with the red piping! But my car is black and white (exterior) with carbon... no red needed!

See if they'll do the alcantara headliner if you don't already have that.

It's a signature... have all options already.

Don't think is hard, but we are in Europe, so no spare parts for now...
So they don't have the seats ready! Better for me, I prefer the new ones (will confirm after delivery) and also get something! So at the end, a good mistake.

I have always had European or Japanese cars in America so I know your situation. If Tesla is short on parts in Europe then perhaps you can get an extra mobile charger ($600) or some extra power adapters ($50-$100 each) or premium carpet, Tesla jacket, or anything else that they keep more in stock.

Congrats on the car. You will love it.

They made a mistake on the seats ! While I ordered a Model S Signature Performance with Performance Interior including Nappa leather seats with Red piping and Alcantara bolsters, they installed in my car the Perforated Nappa leather seats (exclusive to the Signature non performance models).

So what do you think? Prefer?

If I was in your shoes I would be weighing the following:
1. What I ordered.
2. "Proper" original Signature Performance vehicle.
3. Unicorn.
4. What feels best.
5. What looks best.
6. New from factory, without retrofits/rebuilds.

As a collector (especially for Signature), #3 and #2 are sometimes difficult to weigh. Also #6.
As a buyer and TSLA investor, I'm concerned with them not delivering on #1 and #6 is troubling.
As a driver, #4 and #5 matter most to me; and #6.

If the option is "I want a new vehicle made the way I ordered it" is on the table, I'd probably go that route. Without that option, it would be difficult for me to choose between living with breaking #6 vs. breaking #1 and #2.

Hans,

I'm looking for something better, service plan!

I'm sure I will LOVE IT! That will change my Audi S5...

If the option is "I want a new vehicle made the way I ordered it" is on the table, I'd probably go that route.

I think to avoid all this I will keep the car as it is and ask for a commercial offer...
That will be easier. Btw, as said I prefer without the "red piping", so even better at the end!

And you, what to you prefer (looking at the pictures and thinking that my car is pearl white) ?

 

[brianman]

And you, what to you prefer (looking at the pictures and thinking that my car is pearl white)

I'll probably get some hate for this but if you're getting a Signature in Pearl White, then some of #2 goes to the wayside. I'm not saying white isn't a proper Signature, but (IMO) some of the collector value is related to the Red paint.

If you dislike the red piping anyway, and arguably it might look 'off' with the white exterior, then move forward as is IMO. Heck, you might find a unicorn buyer that agrees with you when/if you decide to sell at some point.

Anyway, I almost didn't take the "advantages" of the signature related things as for me :

- Signature Red is horrible (sorry, the only red I like is the Ferrari/Ducati one)
- White interior is bullshit since it's gone be dirty within 5 minutes driving

Out of that, I still have a signature

People here seems to prefer without the red piping... and in Europe it look like old sport cars, so not a big issue for selling it!

1. Signature Red is horrible (sorry, the only red I like is the Ferrari/Ducati one)
2. White interior is bullshit since it's gone be dirty within 5 minutes driving

1. Agree to disagree?
2. Yah, dirty/bluejean white is what steered me away.

1. Didn't get what you mean...
Btw in France, cars are easier to sell if they are Black, Grey or white...

 

[brianman]

1. Didn't get what you mean...

I like my Sig Red. You hate Sig Red. "Agree to disagree" is as close as we're going to get to agreement on this one.

I was thinking about that... sure that they provide additional cooling?
So you prefer perforated?

It's not active cooling in the sense that there's a fan blowing air, simply that it allows a little more air to circulate. Thus I prefer perforated. Of course, the impact of those little holes may be negligible and I could be experiencing a placebo effect :smile:

 

[AmpedRealtor]

OP - isn't what you prefer more important than what we prefer? You should get what you ordered, or receive a credit.

 

[Tigerjeff]

I'm like many on the forum, I like the version I'm getting more than what I ordered!
Bonus : no one will have the same and will get a advantage (credit or gift)!

And there you have your answer!

So when do you get your vehicle?
