    I've been using TeslaFi for almost 2 years now. It has not caused any uneven wear on my seats.

    Being that today is (lispy) "Star Wars Day" ("May the 4th be with you") it seems appropriate the I got the car yesterday ("May the 3 be with me...")

    OK, I am being silly.

    I got midnight silver because:

    #1: I like the look more
    #2: It looks nice even when a little dirty, whereas the gloss black shows mud/dirt/dust more quickly / obviously.

    If you keep the gloss black really clean all the time it looks great... Just more maintenance to keep it looking nice.

    With my bad history of keeping cars spotless ... your decision makes a lot of sense. Just have to convince my wife it's different enough from our grayish green 2004 Prius (!). I'm already going to hear about the lack of handles above the door openings ...

    Can you provide a photo showing how the textile attaches to the headrest from the back?
    Thanks!

    Congrats, TEG. I hope you'll still want to borrow a Roadster to join us on Roadster drives, though.

    There is a stretchy clip together band that sinks into the gap around the headrest. I am happy the way it ended up mounting.
    The hard part was getting the front clips into some little holes under the seat to hold the front part down.

    Also, I just got this Model 3 sun shade:

    Note, these are not product placement ads... I bought these products as an individual owner and have no relationship with those manufacturers.
    (Just thought I would throw that out there since I think some Model 3 bloggers are showing off "product samples" from sponsors these days.)
