brand new Taycan Turbo - creases on seat bolster ok?

[Wendal]

Hope you get that taken care of. Pretty careless to let something that big slide from QC.

I have exactly the same crease on the drivers seat.

From new? Did you complain?

From new, saw it on day one. Didn't really click at the time. Plus it was a home delivery and the rep had left by the time I noticed. Wasn't gonna send the car back for that anyways.

It's even more annoying because I also paid almost £2k more for the Olea leather.

That is absolutely not right and needs to be fixed. I see some very slight creases on my passenger side outer bolster and it has only been used a few times. I think this 'outer bolster' creasing is a significant problem for the car and needs to be fixed! At 2100 miles, my drivers side outer bolster is ok, but again, I can see very slight creasing. If this gets worse over time, it is a major problem. I had an M5 and a Panamera GTS both for over 100K miles and neither had any visible wear on the leather/alcantara.

I have the Olea leather, and am wondering if this problem is particular to the Olea, or is seen on the standard leather as well?

Ugh that rough! Here is my leather on delivery. Lucky the Gift bag is small and not placed on the bolster

OK, maybe I'm over reacting - I looked again and as long as this doesn't get any worse, I'm ok. Just seems like it should be perfect in a new car...

We have it on our brand new Cayenne GTS with 18 way. That might be part of the issue. Which seat option do you have?

Vim’s looks like something you can easily live with. Bootsie’s and Neptune’s, not, IMO. Especially Bootsie’s. It’s clear something sat on that for a long time. My Taycan’s bolsters don’t look like that. I’ve never had a car that did. If you don’t mind risking some unpleasantness, I would push hard to get it fixed or replaced. Come on! This is a very expensive car!

18 way with Olea leather.

18 way with Olea leather.

I applied some high quality leather conditioner and let it sit overnight and it looks like it should. I'm wondering if this will help - can't hurt.

Care to share the brand of conditioner you used?

 

[bootsie]

A hot towel is the usual trick for loose-fitting leather. Wet a towel, microwave until really really hot then leave on the leather.
It’s not going to help my creases, with it definitely helps with loose fitting covers.
Might be worth a go @Neptune, nothing to lose.

Been using it for 10+ years and their products are first class. I regularly use the cleaner/conditioner on the steering wheel - that's where you get the most dirt/oil etc.

Have reported to the dealer and their reply is:


Will post back here with updates.
Thanks for the opinions everyone, it's always hard to know if I'm just being petty about stuff.

They do crease but not until someone has sat in it a few times and definitely not like that, if the sales guy doesn’t rectify to as new with no creases I would escalate to dealer principal. Which dealership is this ?
