I purchased my model 3 6months ago
After a month or so I noticed marks on my seats. I figured I w would wait until summer and have it steamed I tried cleaning seat there other day and realized it won’t come out.. I reached out to Tesla who says this is normal wear and tear.. anybody else have this issue?

LOL, why is this posted in Roadster 2008-2012?

If it's the white streaks you're asking, they look like just wear on the leather seats. Why do you expect them to "come out"? They're not stains unless you're trying to show something I'm not seeing.

Lol I’m sure it says “new member” second I didn’t say I expected it to come out I mentioned that I did try cleaning so that I don’t get people telling me it’s dirt.. the point of the post is that the car is 6 months old and the creasing seems excessive so once again I was asking if anyone else has run into this problem

Not had those issues on my roadster seats. Do you have it sitting in the sun with the roof off.

Okay, I didn't get that from the original post. To me, that's not even an "issue". That's why I'm confused about why 1. you thought steam cleaning might get it out, and 2. calling Tesla. I would venture to say everyone looking at these pictures would know they're common leather wrinkling. I have some on my Y as well after a year, also white seats. I did apply leather protectant cream after I took delivery and after 6 months. It was more to protect against stains and grease, but will help against creasing and wrinkling as well.

The 3 and Y are probably on the lower end in terms of leather quality, but that's what I would expect. I didn't pay the extra $60K for the X after all.

Can the moderator move this to the correct Forum?

Wait, did I missed the white leather seat option for the classic roadster, Hahaha? I hope you figure this out and make it prefect.
I’m just worry about replacement PEM and ESS to keep my roadster running , lol!
