I test drove a Tesla today and I’m sold. There’s no car like it.
James Richardson we’ve all been there, lol. I test drive one and told them to just take my money. It’s amazing!
Model 3 is a really good car: torque, quiet, ergonomics, driving feel, efficiency. Not to mention automation, which is also among the best in the world.
I test drove a Yesla yesterday. It's made in Yugoslavia. Today I drove a Pesla, it's made in Poland.
@@jamesbonde4470 don't forget to drive the Nesla...it's made of chocolate!
I did too with almost no intention of buying it and ended up ordering couple days later. Amazing car
I got the white interior and never had a problem with it. Use mild diluted soap (Dawn) to clean with microfiber towel. Everyone is immediately drawn to the interior. I wear jeans occasionally, and never had any transfer of color to the seats. Good review and tips in your video.
how is it holding after 4 years?
Most honest review I’ve ever seen. I ordered a Model Y Red exterior with White interior. I am kind of scare after I saw one in person and was thinking changing to black. I like taking care of my cars, if the quality is good, I will keep it the way it is. Thanks a lot for the useful information provided.
Using a sealer is a must.... I used CarPro Leather and stains are a thing of the past!
Can you please share a link?

@@zthebest7183 So you think we're here to serve SURESH GANNAVARAPU and provide him links to everything he might need instead of showing him how he can get those links himself? I for one would like some salary then.
I have the light biege seat model S, really impressed with how clean you can keep them. However I'm sure they have a protective coating applied, I got very little blue transfer up to 36000 miles, but then it increased a lot. All my cleaning eventually removed the coating from the side of seat(where you slide in and out). The fix was to reapply a new coating. Best car seats I've had.
Are your Model S seats real leather or this "vegan leather"?
Yes, it's a very zen interior, that's also why I like it: it isn't too cluttered with stuff on the dash, and it feels open and bright with those colors and the panoramic roof!
It isn't perfect but it's closer to my personal preferences, but people living in cold and snowy places will probably avoid it like the plague.
It's probably also a good idea to get some white seat cover for the driver's seat for use on most days of the week.
WOW 😯 I Never realized it had cloth on the sides, thx! Or that the steering wheel has leather on it, thx!
To be clear: His version has a leather steering wheel, current version does not.
the cloth is because the seat meets the mount there so thats a high wear area. cloth holds up much better
Think u need a shave bad
IF I get white I'd definitely get ceramic coating Day 1. But my 2nd favorite is tan interior. (Red exterior) . Not very popular choice for the seats but my preference.
Some people have had their seats ceramic-coated which I guess really helps to maintain their cleanliness.
😂
I also have the white interior and love it. I have experienced some dye transfer from my black Tesla jacket that never came off on the piping. It's better, but still there if you look closely. Since then I decided to have the whole car ceramic coated inside and out and I can't speak to it yet as it's only been a week, but will update on my channel how it's going as I'm coming up on one year of ownership.
Did you take your car to get the seats ceramic coated or did you do it yourself?
how has it been?
@@investornabil8825 I've owned my car now for two years. I've been pretty vigilant about wiping down my white seat at least once every two weeks with cleaning wipes. That has kept them in near new (bright white) condition. I would order white seats again depending on what vehicle I purchased. My next Tesla will be the CyberTruck, so will order it with black interior.
Dash is aluminum, My seats showed wear and staining in the first month from the Tesla service center. (wear marks in the left divers side bolster). Basically wrinkles with color transfer. I cleaned them with some diluted leather cleaner but have used diluted APC too (soapy water was not cutting it). I put a ceramic coating on them and it seems to have prevented color transfer. The color transfer becomes more apparent over time so I highly recommend a coating for them! Makes them easier to clean too. I'm using gyeon leather shield, wipe it on and let it dry. Super easy, but takes a while.
Love the white interior! Seats never get hot!
BTW I'll be at a year next month and people are amazed how well they are holding up. 16k miles so far.
I have the glare on the dash. You may not notice it until you tint the windows. But it's bad, makes the mirror almost unusable. happens when the dash is in full sunlight. Hoping to wrap mine this weekend.
Hey bro. I like your video style. Let me start by saying I have these seats in both the 3 and the X. And I have a 7 and 4 year old in them daily. There’s a huge difference between wiping up spills vs dyes that transfer due to heavy friction rubbing constantly over hours of sitting/driving. I agree that removing dye transfer takes much more effort. However I haven’t experienced significant of it because I rarely wear blue jeans. I like the fact that the white makes it super easy to see dirt and what not for quick pickup. I don’t like the idea of hidden dirt. I like cleanliness. So it depends on the person. I will say that if you spill just about anything on these seats and quickly wipe it up with a wet wipe or even clean tissue you’ll be fine. They’re very good at not absorbing liquid chemicals of all types.
I have the white seats and interior after 8 months in my Model3 performance... I love them !
They totally brighten up the interior are very comfortable and look very cool.
So far they have held up. With that being said blue jean transfer is real for all white interiors. So beware.
I guess I’ll just have to wear khaki from now on once I get mine this year!
@@justinfain1752 over 2 years now since I got mine and didn’t stop wearing jeans. Occasional baby wipe to the white seats seems to take care of everything. So far happy with how they have held up.
Too bad they can’t software update me some ventilated seats :)
For the right price, I'll fly over there and walk on them with golf shoes for you :)
My experience with black interiors in my cars is that dust is always an issue. I had a car with light beige seats. They showed more wear and tear than black seats. 6 of one, half dozen of another tho. Anyone who takes care of their cars, whether they have light or dark interiors, won't have an issue either way as they'll be on top of all that.
As someone with both a beige leatherette interior Jetta and black leatherette interior Jetta, I can tell you the beige interior always feels noticeably cooler than black. Also doesn’t burn my skin when wearing shorts like the black interior does.
I would have got white if it was available when I configured my LRM3. Was a day one order holder. I’ve had for almost 14 months and just over 10k miles the black seats look brand new
Yeah I remember when the white seats were only available on the performance model. 😱
Thanks for the information. I ordered the white interior, your video help me validate my choice.
I love the look of the white interior....and plan to get that the next model 3 I get😍. I have a black on black now, which I also love....but have to clean the exterior of my car literally every day because even s light layer of dust shows on the black exterior. I got my m3 in June 2018 and there were no thorough reviews on the white interior ......I have no problem with cleaning....clean some part of my car every day. Plus I do not eat or drink anything other than water in my car as a rule.
The dashboard white is an aluminum part with a silky ceramic coating developped with the same supplier of the iPhone back cover coating.
I got the black interior, but I love how the white interior looks. I have been washing my white car every week lol.
Is the white model 3 that bad to clean? I have one in order :(
What’s your washing technique? Thx
I have the white interior (owned my M3 for 6 months now). I wear blue jeans exclusively and have no issues with staining whatsoever (I dunno if staining is brand-specific, though, because I only wear one brand). The seats are really easy to keep clean, but in 6 months I've only cleaned them once so far.
The most stain-prone thing in the car is the piano lacquer center console which attracts fingerprints like nobody's business (wrapped it in white - so now that issue is gone)
Would you share what brand of jeans you wear?
@@kenyandave Levis (mostly 501s)
I love the black interior, however, I just hate that would dashboard looking thing. That's why I would pick the light over the block is solely based on the dashboard appearance.
I also wish there were more dash material options.
I agree on the wood look. It reminds me of an old Towncar (or some old luxury car).
You and I think exacly the same.
ArtDeShine dash plastic and also leather ceramic coating. They are easy to apply, do this once a year and transfer is a non issue. I also put a white leather seat cover over it (covers 80% doesn’t cover airbags), so problem solved lol.
I like your sense of humour. Good review.
About to make a deal on a 2022 Model 3 RWD has the white interior love the look of it....they offered to replace the drivers side bolster (where you had striations) I don’t think they can just replace that part looks to be all stitched together....seems your fix works!
Biggest thing about these seats (and any seats really) is to not use alcohol based cleaners, that’ll help them slowly dry out and crack prematurely.
Yes, this is true. I would stay away from alcohol-based and also abrasive cleaners. A lot of people love using those magic eraser wipes, but those are surprisingly very abrasive and can cause micro-abrasions in the material that will allow more dirt to get trapped and become visible over time.
SOLD on the white ..with you having kids...thats amazing..such fortitude!!..i guess i can do with the effort needed to take care of seat maintenance..well done mister...cheers from NYC!
My back seat has an area that won't come out between the shoulder blades. I'm not sure what the passenger had on him but out is a great color that nothing has removed no matter how hard I wipe out what soap/cleaner I use. Everything else comes out.
The white interior gives the car all you said as well a futuristic look. My Model S is White on White. i have had several cars of many colors and only 2 white cars. to be surprised the white exterior cars were easier to keep clean and maintain. this is my second white interior and the easiest to clean and keep clean.
i saw coconut oil being very effective to clean the interior, certainly not aggressive... and i love white
I love the white seats too!
Hey~ I ordered my Tesla 3 with your referral code. Because I like your video but I chose Black seat.Sorry about it.I am south korean who wanna learn English. My goal is to be like you who can speak English very well..Take care. Hope see you more in your videos.
Thank you for watching. Your English is good enough, and congratulations on your new Tesla. The black seats are good too. I only know a few words in Korean that I learned in Taekwondo class :)
I was born and raised in korea and had to learn english when i moved to the states at 9 years old. My advice to you is try not to speak korean at all if you dont have to, switch to english to master it. Before you know it you’ll know two languages:)
Sir I am sold and subscribed! Gr8 VDO. Thank you....
Thank you, and welcome to the party! 😎
Best review I've seen yet. Still deciding if I want the white on white. Thanks!!
Follow your gut instinct. I LOVE the white on white, but I know it’s not for everyone . For this kind of money, you don’t want any regrets. Either your personality is bold, or a bit more conservative. No wrong choices, but only you know you the best. Good luck!
Ordered a white on white model 3....used your code for the free supercharging miles - thank you for the great video :)
Thank you, and Congratulations! I love the white on white so much! It really makes the interior feel bigger than it is! The free supercharging is a blessing too. There's nothing like pulling up to top off and not pay a thing! :)
@@BecauseTesla hi. Looking for the link for free supercharger…. Can’t see it. Can you please repost?
@@taniaromero1267 hey Tania! Thanks for asking. I removed the link in some of my videos because Tesla stopped the supercharger promotion. No more free supercharging. 😩 I do still have the link, but they changed the promotion to give a discount on Tesla Solar. ts.la/erik17075
My beige leather in my Ford Focus Electric is black from my jeans and needs constant cleaning, I like black! I go for minimal maintenance, why work for your car when you don’t need to!
Yeah man, I hear you. That's why I mentioned that there are 2 different types of people. Those that don't mind wiping them every so often, and others that just want maintenance-free. There are no right or wrong answers. The black seats look great too!
Thanks for this video - you convinced me to get the white interior
😂🤣Love the beginning of the video!
I wonder how the led lights work with the white vs black. I think the led lights might pop more with the black, but I'm not sure. The white is sexy for sure but maybe not with the lights
What!!! Baby wipes work better than Vinyl Care??? Great vid BT!!! Clean my Whites weekly too👍
I’m not a fanboy, I’m not a fanboy, I’m wearing a Tesla shirt (in a Tesla), looks into mirror...Son of a bit....
Buahahaha great video. Wish I had seen this before I ordered. My only worry is something like coffee being spilled, not on the smooth surface but rather the stitching. Have yet to see a video of anyone purposely spilling onto the stitching. Thoughts?
Can we all ask Tesla to give us update to apps to reflect correct interior colors? (currently only black interior in climate tab)
I usually only wear blue jeans so that's great to hear!
You’re hilarious!! Love this video it explains in detail exactly what I was searching for.
Thank you for this video ... We’re getting a white interior Tesla 3 in October and I’ll keep baby wipes in the car!
Thanks for trusting my "opinion" about the white interior. Congratulations, you're gonna love it! I just put out a 1 year update video on the white interior and how it's held up.
You are legit the nicest guy ever
Thanks man! I appreciate that.
Going for the white and I’d probably put the wipes on the dash so the pack heats up to make em warm. Got kids too but it’s going to be fine. Test driving tomorrow. 😁
I’m only about to turn 18 but my grind for this vehicle is gonna start soon
Step 1) Start a UA-cam channel. Step 2) Act like you own a Tesla - even though you don't yet. Step 3) Upload videos as often as possible with daily Tesla news and product reviews - you don't have to install products on a car to talk about the features, etc. Step 4) Look into "affiliate marketing". Step 5) apply for an affiliate account with Amazon and Abstract Ocean. Step 6) Earn money in your sleep from commission from sales on those affiliate links that you put in the description of your video. Step 7) Use that money each month to pay your monthly car payment. You don't need to spend any money to do any of this. I film, edit, upload from my smartphone. You're welcome! ;)
I will try the baby wipes on my Kia Sportages which grey seats. It has jean stains. I used soap and water and amazon sprays and still blue jean stains. Hopefully the baby wipes works
Hard not to be once you own one
"not leather at all'
I'd add: not made with real vegans either :(
I dunno...I could have sworn that one of my seats had a tattoo of a Greatful Dead dancing bear. Maybe I was just seeing things...again...
@@BecauseTesla Uh I think that was a figment of my imagination emanating upon your seat. Sorry about that.
Because Tesla now you need the dunks then for the Grateful Dead
Made BY vegans?
Magic eraser is the shit!
Thumbs up just for the intro! XD
Model 3 is truly the best car ever.
It would be if the car had HEADS UP DISPLAY and if it had 4 WHEEL STEERING or as some call it DYNAMIC STEERING.
TOMAS FRANKEL it does have all wheel drive
And if it had better looking steering wheel and wider wheel arches for the performance model...
@@StanLinDDS The steering wheel is like a racing wheel, thick and small diameter. Wider wheel arches would make a slower car due to greater aerodynamic drag.
@@tomasfrankel2406 Heads up display is not needed. The only thing you look at on the screen usually is the map and the speedometer, and only occasionally. Both are highly visible. 4 wheel steering makes for worse steering feel and less consistent handling. Model 3 is simple but nearly perfect in terms of mechanical design and ergonomics.
Glad to see that you did the jeans... I’ve see that with real MB leather. Thoughts on bball diamond dirt?
Brian Overman I haven’t had that type of dirt on the seats, but I’ve seen people test them by spilling coffee, spaghetti, red wine...just about everything. It all just wipes up.
Heard a horror story from UK : a guy placed a wet newspaper ( yeah, it's UK and we have drizzles 364 days a year) and the printing ink was stubbornly stuck to white leather. Sad end of story was, the whole seat had to be replaced
EJV i bet it could have been saved if he caught it sooner, but yeah that sucks. My advice to anyone with white seats is to keep some baby wipes in the glove box so you can wipe up any spills or stains right after it happens.
Did he paid for the new Seat that Shit is expensive.
@@ferro706 Probably claimed insurance.
I almost peed myself laughing at the start ! Lol great video , cheers... been thinking of white seats when I order mine ..still on the fence about it.
Follow your gut instinct.
So which interior did you end up with? Just ordered mine in white after watching many vids on the white interior. How’s yours holding up if you choose the white?
@@snowwhite4863 , My wife and I are planning to order later this year - reason for waiting - to see if there are any changes to Model S & X .. we are debating between the Y & X - most likely to go with the Y for value + price , however will not dismiss the X ( pending possible refresh for Model S&X ). My wife may wish to go with a darker interior - we have three cocker spaniels - LOL So not sure which we will decide as far as interior colour .. any suggestions from anyone with pets would be awesome ! Cheers
As a dad of 2 kids I automatically trust a guy with two kids seats at the back :)
Yes, 2 very active kids. The white seats are very durable.
Thanks for the video. I intended to get white, but I wear only dark colors, and I think I would spend too much time cleaning. Perhaps it's how I enter and exit vehicles, but the seat areas always gets warped like yours. My black interior Model S is holding up well.
Yes, get whatever works best for your situation and you'll be happy. The black seats look very eloquent also.
great review thanks and cheers from 🇨🇭😀✌🏻
Thanks!
Too bad there’s no cloth seat option ... yet ... would prefer that.
There are a lot of aftermarket seat covers that look pretty nice.
Ceramic dashboard
I hit a like in first 10sec
I saw the baby wipes on the floor, Erik! It’s ok if that is how you keep you white interior looking so Nice!!! lol thanks for great information.
Thanks for watching! Yes, the baby wipes do a great job, and they also serve other purposes like wiping down the dash or cleaning your hands after you've touched money at the toll or drive-thru.
So if you wear shorts and the oul from your skin is bad for the seats then they’re not going to last very long
Great vid thanks!
There is an idea of ‘decluttering’ and when that becomes a matter of neurotically hiding everything useful after every use, that is not decluttering, that is an obsessive condition.
yea the fake leather is very soft and comfortable. we test drove a 19 Q50 Luxe and it had fake leather . we ended up getting the 19 Q5S silver sport loaded RWD and the leather wasn’t as comfortable as fake leather but over time they are fine.
Great video as always!
Thank God for 1.5-1.75x playback speed feature. Good info though.
Planning on a red one with white interior. 😍
That is best.
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for the content. Proper Tesla fanboy etiquette is to name the car by the month and year build date. Since Tesla has a continuous cycle of improvement with their constant "bug report" efforts it is common for the car to change every few months, sometimes by a lot. Keep up the good entertainment.
How is cleanup 2 years later? Would you have rather gotten black seats
No regrets. Cleanup is the same; no issues there. I have a friend with a Model 3 with black interior, and it doesn't look as spacious or as premium inside. Every car maker offers a black interior, so it just doesn't feel that special to me. The white interior is next level, and I will always choose white if it's being offered. I have a Cybertruck on order, and I have a feeling that it will only come with black, but hopefully, I'll have options.
GREAT video!!!!
I am not sure about this, but it is just my opinion. I rather to order the black interior and save $1000, then there are may leather premium covers that fits Tesla Model 3 on eBay and Amazon with white or red color. It will keep my original seats as new even after 10 years and I can design the interior as I like. I can change the color in future plus it is only for $100-$200. If it gets dirt, take it off and put a new one. Just my opinion.
You are absolutely correct! I have a newer updated video on this subject here: ua-cam.com/video/IucUt8ZxCfc/v-deo.html
I pinned my own comment at the top of the comments that state pretty much what you are saying. I even put a link to Taptes, who makes some of the better seat covers that are out there. tezparts.myshopify.com/becausetesla
So, yeah, you're right! I have white already, but even I'm thinking about getting white seat covers to protect my original.
My thoughts? Wait till you’re over 70 to buy a Tesla and you can’t see dust or dirt on ANY surface, interior or exterior. You don’t hear any squeaks or rattles, either....
Nothing to do with the Tesla at all... man, your eyes, amazing!
Cheri Vaglienty flattery will get you everywhere 😉
Thank you.
I've had the white seats for over a year and only deep cleaned them once. They are actually very durable. I also only wear 5.11 pants so I don't suffer from the blue or striations like others do.
I've also never had an issue with the dash granted I can see it being more reflected than the other.
HAHAHAHA that intro!
Thx Erik for the 1000 miles, i just bought my Model 3 with your link :) I am sure your 1000 miles will appear soon : Best Oliver A.
Yes, your order showed up! Thank you so much. You're going to love it! Which version / color combo did you go with?
@@BecauseTesla I bought a white Model 3 with black interior. I listened to you. Thx for the honest review. I wanted white but i will also put it for rent and i think it will get to dirty after sometime and as you said i dont have too much time so i got black :)
This is a great video, very informative. I also went for a white interior (car as yet to be delivered), even though I wear blue jeans constantly. As you say, it just completes the car. Every car around has black seats (no offence to black interior owners). Wish I'd seen this video before I ordered as I would've used your referral code :(
Do you have the new car smell with the tesla....not meaning to be trivial, but a lot of the smell, I think comes from all the emissions being released from fabrics, carpet, etc. This causes the inside windshield to get a film and dirt. Have you found this in the Tesla? Thanks for your reply. love your informative videos!
Hahahaha funny beginning thank you for all videos you have done
HI, THANKS FOR SHARING.
Have you ever had a stain on your seats from the seatbelt (from dye transfer)? I had this from my middle seat in the back. If you did, how did you clean it?
I wish I got white seats
I’ve seen a few white seat covers that look legit. I’ve seen red too. Anything on the car can be modified.
i been really thinking of geting a model 3 but my area does not have any close charger the nearest one is around 11Miles 20min+ if i remember correctly.
Plan on doing a followup anytime soon?
still holding up against serious dye transfers?
Thanks for the comment. So it's still a thing...I have to keep cleaning it. I've heard others say they have used a ceramic coating for interiors that have resisted the transfer, but I have no experience with them. I LOVE the way the white interior looks, but to be honest, I don't like having to wipe down the driver's seat all the time - once every week or two.
Coupon code to order Tesla 😀 Isn’t that the reason doing videos? Just Kidding. I did miss taking white seat and honestly they look better in all aspect. Black seat keep cabin hot in summer and dark in night time.
Thanks for watching! The honest reason that I push the coupon code for ordering a Tesla is because I forgot to use one when I placed my order, so I missed out on free supercharging. I've been kicking myself ever since. I just didn't want anyone else to go through that. Hey if you like the white seats, I saw some pretty realistic seat covers on Amazon earlier today. I believe the entire set was about $250. Worth looking into (if you really want white seats).
And the steering wheel is now 100% leather-free!
Yes!!! As of Saturday August 31, new Model 3 steering wheels will be made with vegan “leather”.
So in other words.. more expensive and not as good. Lolz.
I don't understand the point of not using real leather.. from an Eco point ..
Cows gonna die and get eaten. The Leather is a byproduct.. why not use that instead of wasting it
Vs.. using OIL.. to make seat covers
Seems pretty dumb to me..
The most ecological thing to do would be to use as many natural materials that you can in the car..
@@kens97sto171 to each their own.. it's a personal preference thing, I suppose
@@NicholasHoward
Absolutely.. I just don't get it, the natural leather seems the most eco friendly to me.
Could use dead cow as the seat cover.
Or dead Dinosaurs as the seat cover.
kens97sto171 hmmm, well dinosaurs are bigger? 🧐. I read millions of sheepskins are actually discarded, only thousands make it to the tanners 😢
Great honest review. Thank you!
Ahahah that intro was funny 😂😂😂
Very honest and great video. Whats your position on it now? Its been a year, would love to see an update video. Thanks man.
Rumor is, he switched out the white seats for black seats.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙄
White is softer
Thanks for making this. How has it held up a year later?
They look the same as they did last year. Just wipe them down maybe once a month and you'll be fine. Truth be told, the white seats are cleaner than black because people DO wipe them down more often. If you're not wiping down your black seats as often as people with white seats, then you're just sitting on dirty seats.
@@BecauseTesla thank you, makes sense
I think it's important to keep the seats clean regularly or the stains will cook on when the sun shines in the summer.
That's a perspective that I haven't really thought about, so thanks for sharing! It's time for me to clean mine again anyways!
1:34 oh hoho
What about ceramic coating the seats?
Electric Cars aside, baby wipes are amazing!
I don't wear blue jeans haha haven't worn them since 8th grade. 24 now so 12 years ago? 14? I can't remember what age I was then maybe 10 years ago haha
But yeah I've worn blue jeans maybe 2 times since 8th grade because I was asked to haha
