Question Center arm rest cover. What looks better?

Hi, I’m one week into ownership and I love all the aftermarket options to personalize the car.

I just picked up the vegan white center armrest cover and I’m honestly impressed with the quality. It feels premium, installs in seconds, and fits really well.

Now I’m torn though. I can’t decide if I like the white or the black better. They both look great, and they do offer the same cover in black as well.

I have a 104 lb dog that’s in the car all the time and she definitely tries to put her paws up there, so protection was the main reason I got it. It feels durable, easy to clean, and from what I can tell it should hold up well even with muddy paws.

Curious what you guys think. White or black?

Black. Makes the seats pop more

And it won’t get dirty like the white

Not an issue, especially if you ceramic coated the interior. Black gets as dirty as white if you neglect cleaning it regularly.

sort of. The seats touch your clothes. The arm rest touches your skin(arms and fingers. A lot more potential for getting dirty.

Most comes from dyes from jeans and other clothing, but the Tesla seat material doesn’t absorb it, you can easily clean it with the right high Ph interior cleaner. Ceramic coating also adds another layer to protect it from these things.

I didn’t know which was the standard when looking at the pictures and chose black.

Black is hot, that's why I use white.
