    I received my Model Y with white intetior 2 months ago and immediately started noticing the wrinkles on the side of the seats, sadly enough.
    Thanks for the cleaning tips! 🎉

    Great follow up video Ryan ! Love the beetroot test! That should be included in every motoring review I reckon. 😉
    I saw your first one and ordered my M3LR with white. No regrets. When it arrived on a truck the driver who unloaded it was wearing greasy overalls and left big smudges of black grease all over the drivers seat. I freaked out and was going to complain to Tesla. But when I got it home I tried the microfibre trick and with just a few wipes the grease was gone! It’s easier to clean than most other cars I’ve owned. Keep up the great videos!

    I love your updated videos Ryan! This video will be substantial for the grandparents! When you are at our stage with them looking at buying a Tesla, and the possible refreshes, and the new interior trim for the Model Y. It’s really confusing, they are not announcing when or if it’s coming to Australia, so we have no idea weather to wait, or buy. Amazing video, hope bubbas going well!!

    Reitterating what I told you almost a year ago: Get white mirofibere cloths to clean thhem seats. They will show you what comes off. I also impregniate / seal them regularly. Cudos to you for the beetroot lady routine.

    White seats all the way 👍. We have 2021 M3LR and 2023 MYLR both with white seats. Looks great and easy to clean. We use Aldi baby wipes (lint free) . Agree that wood panelling with the black seats looks old school.
    Recently put a DIY ceramic coating on the seats on our 2 year old M3LR (but not really necessary). Which acts like a Teflon coat and would pass your beetroot test with ease. 😂. Always had black BMW seats in the past and they always looked tired after 2 years… but these white seats still look new.

    1:29 Is that some yellowing on the side of the seat or is it just because of the lighting? Apart from that the white seats seem great considering I never wear jeans and that they'll remain cooler in the summer sun.
    P.S. I've been binge-watching your videos over the past few days. Looking forward to seeing more content!

    I’ve had great success using my Kärcher SC2 steam cleaner with the terry cloth over the brush attachment to clean the seats of my M3. Some people worry the steam and heat will damage the vegan leather. But, on the handle of the SC2, you have a switch for FULL or HALF steam pressure. And, as long as you keep the end of the tool moving back & forth and not holding it on the same spot, there is no risk of damage. Just have to immediately wipe the moisture off with a clean microfibre cloth as you go over each seat. As a bonus, especially if you have pets or kids in the car, the steam also sanitises.
    It would also recommend using a good quality leather conditioner after cleaning the seats. I find the Chemical Guys brand leather conditioner works great.

    Also the white trim across the dash was very glary in sunlight so I bought an Alcantara piece to cover it that matches the trim on the doors.
