Casual observation shows that few buyers opt for the stark white interior, but this EV Pulse staffer took the plunge when buying a new Model 3. With nearly a year of ownership, what'due south it like to live with the snowy interior?

Pros

Dirt and crumbs are easy to spot on a white surface, which means you'll spot even the smallest foreign material and exist able wipe it away quickly.
Information technology is a conversation starter and a little something extra from an automaker that doesn't offer much in terms of factory customization.
No scalding-hot seats on hot days. While Tesla's glass roof console does a great job at keeping the interior of it is cars cool, a white interior doesn't hurt either — your curt shorts-wearing passengers will thank you.
Stains can exist easily cleaned with mild soap and water, which nosotros've found to be mostly true. By and large.

Cons

As mentioned to a higher place, "nearly" every stain is easily removed with wipes or mild soap and a material. 1 instance is the rear seats where the seat belts rub on the top of the seats has slowly darkened over 10 months of ownership. Consistent on both left and right seat backs, the nighttime-grey stain isn't easily removed with the simple cleaning tips mentioned above.
A white interior shows literally every pilus, crumb and water (coffee) spot. And until you lot have a gamble to make clean the seats, the debris may exist a nagging nuisance.
While Tesla touts the immovability and easy-to-clean material, the jury is still out on how it'll article of clothing over several years of buying.
The choice is steeply priced. For $ane,000 nosotros'd promise for a footling more than than a simple colour swap.

Verdict

Everything said, our white-interior Model 3 owner wouldn't repeat the order if given the opportunity. The color only shows as well much dirt for our taste and isn't worth the $one,000 upcharge.

What are your thoughts, would you opt for a white interior in your Tesla?
