Tesla’s futuristic white interior option is the most popular among the company’s customers. But this option has its concerns — keeping the white seats clean is at the top of the list. To demonstrate the white seats’ cleanability and stain resistance characteristics, Tesla shared a short video clip on the … [continued]
The unusual white upholstery is probably such a popular option among Tesla owners because it seems to match the automaker’s futuristic vibe. Much like the all-white interior of the spaceship in Stanley Kubrick’s epic film 2001, Tesla’s stark white interior accentuates an otherworldly aesthetic experience.

Leather remains a lucrative commodity and a big problem for many automotive brands, which are being linked to the environmental degradation of the Amazon rainforest.
One of the hardest decisions we had to make when buying our Tesla Model 3 was which seats to get — the black or the white. Today, that would probably be the easiest decision — and I’m not using hyperbole here. We already knew this, but we knew it much … [continued]

Today we’re going to discuss the “things” that a Tesla Model 3 owner should not do to their car. To be clear, these are things that will not improve the ownership experience. These actions also will not extend the life of Model 3 components like the battery, seats, doors, and more.
As I recently shared, we just procured a Tesla Model 3. Being one of the most obsessive Tesla reporters and editors in the world, I didn’t expect to need the local Tesla store to make this happen.
