Rear Seats of the Refreshed Tesla Model 3

By: Otaiba Ahsan

The Tesla Model 3 and Y come with a sleek, modern interior that includes high-quality synthetic leather seats. While these are durable and easy to clean compared to traditional leather, they still require proper care to maintain a pristine appearance over time. Whether you’re a new Tesla owner or looking to improve your car care routine, continue reading for steps on how to protect the seats of your Tesla Model 3 and Model Y.

1) Regular Cleaning and Maintenance

Keeping the seats pristine by regularly cleaning them is one of the simplest ways to maintain their condition. Here’s how:

Use a Gentle Cleaner: Tesla recommends using a soft cloth with mild soap and water to clean the seats. Avoid harsh chemicals like alcohol or bleach, which can degrade the material over time.
Wipe Down Frequently: Regularly wiping the seats with a microfiber cloth can help remove dust, oils, and dirt before they build up.
Condition the Seats: While Tesla seats don’t require traditional leather conditioning, using an ultraviolet (UV) protectant designed for synthetic leather can help prevent fading and cracking.

2) Quality Seat Covers

Seat covers provide an extra layer of protection against spills, dirt, and daily wear and tear. They are typically simple to install, and can completely transform the look of your interior, especially if there are unique colors that aren’t normally available.

The Tesloid Napa Leather Seat Covers for the Model 3 and Model Y can provide this solution. Available in multiple styles like Tan, Red, White, and Black, this is a great option if you’d like to change the color of your interior, while also protecting your original seats. They add comfort, are made from genuine leather, and add a premium look to your car.

3) Protect Against Sun Damage

Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause the white and black seats to fade or discolor over time. Here’s how you can minimize this risk:

Parking: Park in shaded areas or inside a garage whenever possible.
Window Tints: Tinting your windows can also reduce UV exposure while keeping the car’s interior cooler.
Sunshades: Using sunshades on the roof, windshield, or windows can help protect the seats from the sun.

The Tesloid Roof Sunshade Screen for the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y provide complete shade over the entire roof for protection against the sun, which also helps maintain inside temperatures. It’s easy to install or remove with provided clips, which can stay in place without the need to drill any holes or stick anything. The Sunshade comes with a mesh layer and a thermal reflective layer.

The Bottom Line

The steps on how to protect the seats of your Tesla Model 3 and Model Y are simple. Regularly cleaning the seats is the simplest way to maintain their condition. However, investing in quality seat covers as well as a sunshade are two added layers or protection that can help keep the original seats pristine over time.
