Worn Leather - Seat Replacement?

[KentuckyX]

I am shopping for a used Model X from the Tesla used inventory. If I purchased an X with a seat I (and hopefully, they) considered worn (on the bolsters, etc.), would the seat be replaced under warranty or are seats considered "consumables" that naturally wear out? A few of the Xs I've browsed online look like the seats show significant wear. I'd hate to buy one and then have the leather wear completely through within a year or so. I wouldn't care so much if I thought it would eventually get replaced for free.

Seat bolsters are normal wear and tear. No warranty.

Not that much to repair / replace, especially if you go to a breaker from a low milage crashed car.

Watching this one. I've seen a few used cars on Tesla site with the leather creasing and stretching over. Was told this isn't covered under warranty, BUT I've also been told the vented seats with perforations were a warranty issue with Tesla as they've had to get replaced.

Hoping someone whose been through a successful warranty claim chimes in. Or, someone that's paid to have their seat material replaced and can share some real world numbers

Vented seats with perforation were a warranty issue within first 100 days brand new. They will absolutely not warranty it if you purchase a used 2016 MX with these issues. You can find an upholster to get it match pretty close.

I thought I remember seeing Bjorn getting his replaced under warranty after about a year's worth of wear. He had the perforated ones. The X I have my eye on has white perforated seats. Hmm...

I had a friend who had a torn in the passenger seat on his white perforated seats and his reupholster guy match it very well you wouldn’t even notice it unless you looked up close. Blended in very well.

I have the vented seats and I love them. I use the car daily and don’t abuse them and they love me back.

Vented seats mean perforated seats? What year you have?
