I've put 22 miles on the car and the drivers outermost bolster is already deeply creased. I can on imagine this gets much worse from here. Should I push for replacement or just accept? I'm 6'2 210 for size reference.
I'll add that the cushion inside doesn't feel as full as the opposite bolster and the vl feels a bit looser on top of the filling.
Certain things as a car owner I've learned to accept and creases or wear and tear on seats is one of them.
Both teslas I owned has this issue if the seats were used often, and I’m pretty light and skinny. After 1 day is crazy but it’ll happen regardless. The fake leather teslas uses is not that great, it’s more thin and less stiff than any others I’ve owned or sat on. (Just wait for your headrest to wear after a month or two lol)
Good sign to hit the gym
Adversity must be tough for you
Seats… crease
Creasing is normal like others have said. You can try to not make it worse by setting the easy entry mode to move as far back and low as possible to help go over the hump rather than through it.
That’s where your butt goes quit looking at it.
Next post: the screen has smudges on it
Is this a joke?
It happens on these seats and the Legacy Model Y seats. When getting into the car, you can't push pressure against the bolster. You need to use your foot, lift your entire body up, and then sit on the seat without touching the bolsters. That's the only way to avoid creasing on the bolsters.

No because this is after one fucking hour of seat time in a 60k car. I get that the fanbois accept anything Tesla gives them but from my perspective and after 35 years of owning cars it's not normal to accept seat wear at 23 miles.
So you accept this kind of wear on brand new shit? Interesting.
Ok buddy.
My point is this kind of wear after 23 miles is comical.
He went in on your ass! FAHHHH
Yeah, it is lol. Sorry for your downvotes, people don't like anything negative about the brand even if it is logical concerns.
Totally normal. Just accept it and live happily with the car
Right. I'm lucky they sold me a car
THIS is a good reason to make a complaint about it.
Ok Karen
You're probably being downvoted to hell but you're absolutely right to be concerned. I have a 2023 MY with 40k miles and the seats don't even look sat in. No one should accept or expect wear like this in one day of ownership on a car that costs this much.
Better than my luck, 1 week in someone left a huge gash in my drivers rear door. I’d live with it and I’m sure when the car heats up- it’ll be fine.
Don’t sit on that part. Sit in the middle of the seat.
"Wife curbed the wheels two days into ownership"
I've only put my greasy fingers on it a few times!
I have never owned a vehicle that didn't have cloth seats that also didn't crease in some way. This is totally fine man.
This is just one of 1000 examples of Tesla's terrible engineering/design/assembly failures.
Happens to me too, same height and weight. The issue is the seats are kinda small at the base and narrow. That's my only problem with it.
That sucks, let it go. It’s happened to me on a couple of leather cars. Oddly enough, not on my old MY after 100k miles
Is this…really a big deal? It’s like when people freak out over having a crease in their sneakers… It’s a depreciating utility…
Within spec. Next.
I have Telluride which the the same kind of fake leather seats, 20k miles no creases. I would accept wear over a period of time. Wear after an hour of use is ridiculous.
Not cloth seats ffs
Huh? I was saying that cloth doesn't crease. Pleather an leather do...
Tesla fans really see a flaw on Day 1 and say “yeah that’s fine.” Clown shit.
Totally different designed seat. I had the Palisade and it does crease. Put 68k on it and traded that crap box in for the Juniper. Hell, my Mercedes GLS 450 creased as well. Cracking is a concern tho…
Vicious.
Shits so ridiculous and weird yo.
Normal wear and tear. Maybe the car is too expensive for you? If you want something done, contact Tesla and have it handled, stop whining to strangers on the Internet.
don't sit on the bolsters
Normal wear and tear after a single day of ownership. This is what you muh tesla maxis accept lol. 🤡
I'm sorry it's hard for you. If you don't get in and out of the seat correctly maybe it happens faster? Clearly you are not a good fit for the car, return immediately.
Is this newer Standard Y seat, or the premium pleather seats? A steamer can get wrinkles out of most materials, but you need to make sure to watch a couple videos on how to do it first. I'm not sure what the material is on the new standard MY, it how it works react to steam/heat.
The MYP bolstered seats. Same material as the other Ys.
Steam, but it's gonna come back.
Appreciate the help, I'll try that.
Lots of YouTube videos on steaming leather car upholstery. Do watch several before attempting, and especially any about vegan leather.
