- Опубліковано 9 січ 2022
- I have owned my tesla for a little over 3 years now. With over 41,000 miles on it, I could not be happier with my decision to go all electric. This car has been on quite a few road trips including doing some rideshare trips every so often. My name is Evan and if you are new here, welcome!

Back in December of 2018 there was very little content on youtube about the tesla model 3 interior, especially the white seats. When going through the order page on tesla.com I had to decide if I wanted the standard black interior or the upgraded white interior. The white, in my opinion, stood out extremely well. I wanted something different than the regular black, brown, and tan colors like the rest of the legacy auto makers out there. With the occupation I work in; shipping logistics can be quite a dirty job, especially around aircraft. This new vehicle would be my primary mode of transportation to and from work. I looked and looked and could only find a couple videos on youtube then and it was only about the white interior on the model X. Nobody had the white interior in the model 3 yet… In his video, he showed how simple the clean up process was and that pretty much sold me on getting the white interior. I took the gamble and paid the extra 1,000 dollars for the upgraded white seats. Since delivery I have been documenting my white interior status throughout the coming years and overall I have had nothing bad to say. There was a video I did where I did not wipe down my driver's seat for a good 6 months or so just to show how well the stains would come up. Using my favorite cleaner spray called lithium hyper cleanse, I let the solution saturate the seat for a good 1-2 minutes then I wipe down with a high quality microfiber towel. To my surprise the first wipe down took most of the dirt away and brought back the vivid white color. There may be a time you'll need to re-spray and wipe down again using a little rubbing force to remove a deep stain. I did end up with a long blue streak line in the rear passenger seat from a possible ride-share passenger that was impossible to remove. I tried everything from dish soap to a magic eraser which is highly abrasive and should only be used as a very last resort. After seeing this stain, I found that many tesla owners, especially with the white seats, have applied this gyeon leather shield protectant to make the dirt and stains clean up easier in the future. I shared my experience applying this stuff and let me tell you it really works. The thin layer of ceramic coat protectant helps repel dirt and liquids should you spill anything on your seats. It will not change the way the seats feel and it will not cause any cracking, fading or discoloration. I personally apply this to the driver seat twice a year and the rest of the interior only once a year. As the months passed, to my surprise that blue line in the rear passenger seat I talked about earlier had disappeared with time. Looking at the comparison video side by side I can’t even see it with my eyes yet alone with my camera. I think as the seat received continuous use and with the regular cleanings I do on top of this gyeon leather shield layer I applied, the blue fad just washed out. So going back to which color interior you should get. If you are really wanting the white color but think you will ruin them with all the dirt and blue jean stain, I would personally think again. You’ll be surprised how well they hold up when you wipe them down every few months or so and apply this ceramic coat stuff I talked about earlier. What you are seeing here is 3 years of use in my tesla model 3 and I have not ONE regret choosing the white. The driver seat is still in good condition and the rest of the seats look factory new in my opinion. Also please be sure to check out the now many tesla white seat videos out there. There are so many more options than what I had back in 2018. I’ll post links below this video showing you where I get my leather shield and cleaning spray from. I hope I got my point across and maybe found this video helpful. If you did; consider clicking that like button below for me. Again my name is Evan and I’ll see you on the next one.. Bye.

Love the video. I don’t have 3 years experience (24 hours to be exact) owning a Y with whYte seats. But I can say this: If you’re wanting a tesla and even SLIGHTLY thinking… “oh, yeah… those white seats are kinda nice…” Get the white seats. Seriously, they are gorgeous. First thing I did when i got home last night was put the Gyeon shield on it Evan talked about in the video. It smells but, don’t worry, it goes away within an hour or so. Get. The. White. Seats!
Thx I was thinking this and you helped answer my question.
@@michaelfrock2473 glad you commented so I could give an update! I’ve had the Y for a year and a half now and I don’t regret the white seats at all. There are a few things to note:
-the Gyeon shield is legit. I recommend it a ton.
-blue jeans are the devil on these seats. Keep up with wiping them down and you won’t have a problem
-make sure you clean the seats VERY WELL before putting the Gyeon shield on. I did a half ass job cleaning the seats and you can see the streaks the shield left
All in all, the white seats are a W. They look cool and don’t wear nearly as much as I thought they may. I will definitely be getting the driver seat professionally cleaned, all the other seats look fine
FWIW, I’ve got about 12,000 miles on the car.
Yep, 2+ years on my white seats - so glad we ordered white.
Thanks for the video.
Stay safe and healthy!
Another awesome vid Evan!!! I went with white on my order. Glad I did with seeing how well yours have held up. Thanks for sharing
Awesome! I just got a blacked out model 3 with white seats. Love it. Thank you for the tips.
Awesome videos, thanks for the advice. Will definitely go for white seats now.
Thanks for the info, Evan. Especially how to take care of the white seats. I am waiting for my Tesla, so I was preparing.
Glad it was helpful!
Nice video! Short, on topic, and useful. I went with my preference black, and still found my time well spent watching your video. Thanks for the info re: cleaner and protectant.
Does the black fade with time? I test drove one with white seats today. I think I’ll go with black since I have small kids. I just want to know your thoughts on the black seats. Does it also look dull in appearance? And does it fade?
@@Sajinseethi I haven’t noticed any fading. I clean the interior two or three times a year (and if there is a spill or accident). I consider that a huge benefit - ease of maintenance. I detest high maintenance things (or people) in my life. 😊
Just ordered Gyeon leather shield for my future model Y
I did not even hesitate to upgrade to the white seats because I have everything that I own in white. This was super helpful as I’m taking delivery of my model 3 soon!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent thank you. I have just ordered the white exterior with white interior and you have reassured me I have made the right decision.
Me to. Expecting to get mine in less than 10 days. Fingers crossed.
Nice, thanks
The best looking car I've seen is a white model 3 with white interior, to me it was gorgeous
Thank you for this video bro!
I’m looking to get the Nardo grey warp. Should I go with white or black originally ?
thanks bro
I’ve gone with the white seats in a Red Model Y delivery in December cannot wait!!
Sweet !
Soooooool what’s the verdict. Pretty sweet huh?
I'm almost more impressed by the lack of wear those seats have!
I regret getting black, but I end up just grabbing red covers, which I think look better. The white just screams Tesla that’s why I wished I got it.
my white tesla model 3 looks great also
Did you still selling your model?
I want to sell my model 3, it is standard range no plus and it’s 2019 no auto pilot.
I need an AWD. The current is offer from KBB is 35k. What do you recommend. The AWD TM3 used is way too much and the value right now is so high. I was thinking of buying a ford maverick AWD or a Kia K5 AWD. What is your advice ?
What about red exterior with white interior
Thanks.. 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
I got my black on black model 3 back in 2018 around the same time you got your car. Thinking of trading in for a 2022 this video may have sold me on the white seats 😄. Do you still have the AC smell issues? Mine show up every 6months
I replace my filters every year so I avoid the smell. Thanks for commenting!
Wish the white seat option was available when I ordered my Model 3 in 2016. I did order the white seats in the Model Y for my wife. They are easy to maintain and really brighten up the vehicle, especially with the red exterior.
I came from your original video of how to care for your white seats. What is the point of the test portion? Are they selling a product that might NOT work on your leather so you have to do a test patch first? I bought this product but haven’t used it it. Hope the gyeon works
The test portion was due to the fact that hardly anyone then used this on their white tesla seats. This was a couple years ago when I did that video. This product will work on your tesla seats without doing any test on them.
@@EMtesla1 thanks for the input Evan. I will def use this on my white seats. Great videos keep up the awesome Tesla content!
White seats is the only way to buy a Tesla.
It helps take your mind off the LACK of cooling and massage in the model 3 or Y- which Hyundai and Cadillac offer at the same price.
I want to order a quicksilver color here in Europe with white interior, do you think it will look nice or best to go for the black with this exterior new color?
I’m looking at the same in a model y. I don’t see a reason why white would look any less attractive with a silver car. It is a dark silver at that.
@@PeteR-sy2ud Hi, its not dark silver, its like a metal silver, quicksilver color similar like that is terminator villain in the terminator 2 movie🙂
Planning keeping mine for about 6-7 years. Still recommend white seats?
Yes sir ! No issues
Good video, thanks...Not sure how white will stand up to my black dog...Oh well who cares, he's my best friend...White interior it is...Create a great day...
In the middle of making a decision. I wanted to go black on black, but the white is calling my name. I have a13 year old who plays basketball and I hall around funky teens from time to time. I am worried about dirtying up the seats. I am getting the MY. Thoughts?
Apply the gyeon leather shield immediately after delivery and be sure to wipe down the seats often and you'll be happy you went with white. If you dont have time to maintain them, you could certainly choose the black to hide the scuffs, stains, etc.
@@EMtesla1 you are awesome! Thanks so much! We are in Central FL and I think the white looks phenomenal, but will definitely help with the heat.
Working at my dirty job, I've have grease, and various other black stains come right out. But yes, the heat will suck on those black seats lol. If you go with black, maybe a sunroof sunshade will help.
link to those headrest pillows please!
It’s on my website… evanmichiels.com/general-2
@@EMtesla1 Thanks buddy!
White interior is the best choice & looks beautiful. However, I am hearing Tesla’s new perforated seats do not hold up well because of the tiny holes they use & they have switched manufacturers. Tesla is being quite on giving info on these new 2024 seats since they are made in house now.
Is the Gyeon Leather Shield a one-time application, or will I have to reapply every X number of months? Thank you.
I apply it 1 time a year
would you get a white interior for uber??
For 100% Uber business tesla... Nope.
Did you find creases on the left side of the driver's seat over time?
After a few years, yes you can start to see small creases. I think this goes for any car with leather seats haha.
@@EMtesla1 But the seats in the Model 3 or any Tesla is not leather!
@@KP-xi4bj yes I realize it’s not leather.. I’m just saying ANY car after so long with show signs of wear, including creases. Thank you
@@EMtesla1 I've had my Model 3 just under 3 months now. Already it has small fine creases on the left side of the driver's seat. Is this normal? Am I too heavy??
So you don't recommend using baby wipes like everyone says? Just use the lithium cleaner with a microfiber cloth instead? Have you tried the baby wipes?
I’ve tried baby wipes, they work. But for a more deep clean… hyper cleanse is the way to go. Cheers!
Awesome vid than you!
Glad you liked it!
Who wants that headache
whats the headache?
Cheap interior.
lol! Far from it
Ur mom is cheap
