Regarding the tax credit - Tesla confirmed a couple weeks ago that they delivered the 200,000th vehicle in the US in early July, which triggered the tax credit phase out. The full $7500 credit is avail through December, then it will be cut in half to $3500 for 6 months, and cut again to $1750 for another 6 months. After 2019 it will be gone.

For the seats, I’ve had loaners with the vegan material. Longest drive I did in one was about 90 min out to the airport and back to pick up my mom in a Model X loaner. I didn’t notice any issues. The material gets good reviews by owners and doesn’t show wear like leather. It’s apparently a newer material than the other makers use - we’ll see how it goes.
