When it comes time to design and order your Tesla Model 3 or Model Y, you will have to choose between the standard black interior or optional white interior. Selecting the white interior will add an additional $1,000 to the total cost of the car and in today's video I will be reviewing why I feel this added expense was worth the money based on my first year of ownership.

black more sporty um not sure id say that but my hot take on it. and least it's probably not some weird outside and interior colour combo or weird patterns ect. as orange 🍊 or hot pink or turquoise blue with the outside in blue,red,green was used on dodge and greed um i though i got it bad with triple dark green mustered working on changing that to cardinal red/perlite white interior F8-outside/same as og off colours for interiors can work and some body codes can be the same as the interior colour choices but as a combo its a be careful kinda thing white interiors are better with UV/heat vs black and red or at least in my case is in the middle and bright red was in the usa 50's considered the sporty colour ( Chrysler's 50-60's 300 letter car's are good examples ) and black was for caddy's/Lincoln's and funerals whites was just for fun's/sporty/cruiser's

I don’t think it’s worth $1000 since you risk damages and staining. Instead I’d recommend just getting the black seats then getting the vegan leather seat covers which only cost $250. You can get them in many colors.

@Scott4271 3 года назад

Yes, it is worth the extra $1,000. When we ordered our Model 3 last November, I decided I wanted to performance version and since we were splurging my wife one of the white interior so we ordered both. After having the car for a year we absolutely love it and are so happy we ordered the white interior. We chose white paint and with the white interior car is just gorgeous. Living in California and having an all glass car you can’t survive the summer without tinted windows; but the car looks so good with the white interior I chose a clear IR blocking tint and I’m glad I did. Also living in California white seats are so much cooler in the summer (even if the car is in camp mode). Also they are very stain resistant and very easy to clean.

@KilowattAuto 3 года назад

I’m a fan of the white paint and white interior! Definitely Tesla’s highest quality paint and in my opinion their highest quality interior.

Thank you for your input. I ve struggling several days to chose one. It gets really hot where I live in California in the Summer so I think I ll do the same thing you did.

Great summary - I've got a 2017 Model S with a white interior and I don't regret it at all. The one area where the 3/Y are different is in the S/X the center arm rest is also white - this isn't a good thing. Your skin oils will naturally accumulate there and it gets grimy looking pretty quickly. It's easy to clean but a black arm rest isn't going to look so bad so quickly.

@NurseCarnivore 3 года назад

having had the X for 2 years now, mostly driven by my bf (who is a frequent jean wearer lol) I have to say our white interior still looks brand new imo. like you, I do spritz it down every week to "maintain" them. overall tho I have been really pleased with it. that being said when I purchased the Y (for myself) I did go with the black trim, ig for a difference in style. either way, I find the interior care and overall quality of the Teslas quite good. *edit* we also have 3 dogs, 2 small and 1 a large breed. we purchased one of those dog "blanket" things for the Y and seems to be well worth a look seeing as that is one solid seat. in our X though (with the white interior) we haven't put any protective cloth and the seats as I said before still look great imo :)

The white interior certainly does get stained.. I attest you’re non stained and non torn up seats to your scrubs. There is no careful way to enter or leave a car unless you enter and exit like meth gorilla. The best thing to do is to buy a seat cover for the bottom half of the drivers seat. You do not need one for the passenger unless you ride with one 2/3rds of time you’re driving. I love the look of the white interior and it truly doesn’t get as hot in the sun as black but once you get the stain it’s very very hard to remove.

@KilowattAuto 2 года назад

The only issues I have seen are in cars that have tinted front windows. The white dash reflects pretty harshly in the window right over the side view mirrors. In my case I do not have any tint so I have had no issues. The car interior definitely feels bright on sunny days but the seats don’t reflect any light nor do they make bright sunlight harsh on the eyes. I think the white interior does feel a bit more spacious because of how the white seats interact with light compared with the black interior.

Only had mine for a couple months and my driver seat definitely has some bad spots. I wear black pants to work, my wife wears jeans, although does not drive it often. I have tried The recommended soap and warm water, I made sure to wipe the seats down with water wipes every week or whenever something has gotten onto them. I've tried an interior vinyl/leather cleaner that was highly recommended. I don't even have 3k miles yet and the driver seat has some wear. Blue almost like shading on the left bottom part of the seat, some small parts where my back hits have some dark spots that are not on the passenger side and were not there before. I have scrubbed with the soap and interior cleaner with warm/hot water, let stuff sit for multiple minutes at a time and did that multiple times. Still will not come out. I guess I was just very unlucky with my seats. I still love the white interior too much to not recommend it though. The spots are hard to see from the outside, so that's good news.

@NYRunnerJai 2 года назад

I’ve watched tons of these Tesla white seats videos and no one addresses the big elephant in the room and that’s the fact that these seats are part cloth in some areas where your hands are pretty frequently or areas where pants rub, such as in front of the two front seats near the base; on the inner sides of the two front seats where they meet/touch the center console and in the rear seatbelt wells where hands are constantly grabbing and connecting the seatbelt connectors. Do the black seats have cloth as well? I was hugely disappointed and felt lied to by Tesla. They are “partly” premium vegan leather - not fully.

@torbjornwiken 3 года назад

It look great! I almost got it myself, but the seller at Tesla actually advised against it. He stated that it would age worse than black.

I clean them maybe once per month. I think the black seats hide dirt much better but both colors are made from the same vegan leather so I don’t think one would be more or less attractive for dirt and dust. If anything the white seats may be a bit more dirt resistant since they do come with a hydrophobic barrier applied to them. I am not sure if this is the case with the black interior.

Why does it cost $1000 more to have a white instead of a black interior? Synthetic seat cover materials areall manufactured on the same equipment irrespective of thge colour, the material constituents are the same, it is only the pigments that go into the mix that are different. But the auto manufsacturers used to charge a premium for Ivory coloured leather (and maybe still do) inspite of the cost being the same as any other colour. Perhaps there is more warranty with white seats and Tesla cater for that in the higher price.

Do i need to find a coating specifically for artificial leather? Thanks!

@KilowattAuto Год назад

If you want a protective layer you can get a ceramic coating that can be applied to the seats. I probably would not use a leather protector. To be honest I’ve had them for almost three years now and have had no issues with staining. They come from the factory with a good protective coating and as long as you are diligent about wiping them down with water every few weeks you shouldn’t have any issues.

All I have used is Hydrosilex recharge ceramic coating. I made a video on my cleaning/car care process: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qzJky7MxZwo.html

Did you have glare issues with all of the white? If so, can you describe the places being visually obstructed that show reflection when driving? Thank you.

@KilowattAuto 3 года назад

No glare issues whatsoever, i have heard it can be bad if you get your windows tinted. The white dash shows up in the glass and makes it hard to see your mirrors.

@cashmoneybling9699 3 года назад

@@KilowattAuto Ah gotcha, if the owner lives in a sunny environment and gets tint, he may be in trouble. otherwise, it's fine.

@KilowattAuto 3 года назад

Yup! Depends on the tint intensity too.

I am curious: What vehicle did you owned and/or you drove regularly before, specifically speaking before the age of EVs? #askingforafriend :)

Prior to this I was driving a Jeep Cherokee.

So 10000$ FSD package can be added later? Right?

@KilowattAuto 3 года назад

Yes you can add it at any time through the Tesla App after taking delivery.

I trust that the white interior will hold up for a while, but my only concern is that I plan on keeping my tesla for close to 10 years (maybe a little less).

@thatcallofdutygamer2823 3 года назад

Obviously I expect some damage after using it for years and years, but am worried that it would last as long as the black interior.

@KilowattAuto 3 года назад

I think the durability should be the same between both interiors. The black is just going to hide dirt and damage much better than the white will. The seat materials as far as I know are the same between black verse white and I am not sure if both come with a special hydrophobic barrier from the factory (I know the white one does). You can also buy interior ceramic coating solution and coat the seats/surfaces for added protection regardless of whether you get black or white.

Would you get white seats with kids? I’m currently looking to get the 7 seater Y

@KilowattAuto 3 года назад

Yes I would! I haven’t had any difficulty cleaning stains or marks. But I think it just depends on how much work you want to put into maintaining the interior. The black will hide wear and tear better but the white makes the cabin seem much more futuristic and bigger.

@brucebolduc3403 3 года назад

I have a white interior and have a dog. My children are in there infrequently. Easy to clean but it show all mud and dirt. A black interior will be as dirty but won't show as much.

I wonder why tesla could not offer a decent color instead of toilet white, this is just way too white imo. For no reason, the dash also looks very gross and it reflects in side mirrors pretty badly due to its color. I love my wooden dash tho, and in 2018 there was no white but even if it was, that toilet white dash color would be a deal braker for me. They could have easily do any color in the world, and they chose this kind of white, why god why! Beige would look great, creme, or any off white shade. Definitely would look awesome in dark muted red and brown. But nope, we get boring black and toilet white. Elon's jokes...

I’m trying to see what the cost is to change my seats out for white color from the service center lol

@gumerzambrano 3 года назад

It's probably going to be a bit more than $1,000 since for the Model Y Tow Hitch if you get it after you take delivery its an additional $200 (Base price is $1,000)

But he still isn’t allowed in the Tesla lol I’ll put him in the Lexus IS if need be. The white seats are gorgeous! Coating is good from the factory, but I also coating with gyeon leather shield. One thing to note if u get tint.. go darker than u think I got 25 all around and 50% on windshield and shoulda went 5 all around Bcuz the glass roof and white just brightens everything up

Check out the car channel Out of Spec Motoring. They drove 60,000 miles on a Model 3 and they went hard on road trips and have dogs and their white seats still look fine 😬
