For some reason, any synthetic leather causes my back to get super sweaty. I did some googling and found a few posts on Tesla forums where people mention that it happens to some (but most are fine). GUess I'm one of the few who are sensitive to it. I remember returining a rental VW Passat (which I"ve never done before), after driving it for 15 minutes for the same reason. Just got uncomfortably hot and sweaty. VW is another OEM that now forces synthetic leather on most of their lineup. Hope it doesn't become a trend. I will say that the feel and appearance of Tesla's vegan leather is quite nice.
I'm now remembering a test drive of bmw e46 323 (long ago), that had leatherette. The sales guy was very proud of it for some reason and was like "i bet you can't tell its not leather". I was like "actually, I can and I don't like it". lol
