You actually took temperature readings of the cabin air and separately the seat surface? |

Waiting 10 mins for the car to cool down at the end of my work day can make a huge difference in commute time as traffic gets worse every minute. |

Your butt can feel the difference between the seat temp and the cabin air temp?

Many times the truck will be in the July/August scorching heat and I will "have to go" and hop in, fire up the AC and cooled seats on Max and roll... Not that big of a deal to me. |

I don't charge to a particular level when I go to places. I leave whenever I'm done what I was doing.. Like when the kids finish playing, when I finished my meal. I don't wait for the charge to finish. There is no specific charge level I'm charging to unless I'm on a road trip. Sometimes, my car is 70% when I plug in and 78% when I plug out. It really doesn't matter when I'm around town. If I need more charge than I got from the free charges around town, I plug in at night. Usually, those free charges are enough but if they aren't, I can always plug in at home. A FULL charge from 0 - 100% is $6, so it's not expensive in any way. I just charge at free chargers when it's convenient. |

There are millions of vehicles with black seats and I have never heard of a case where someone’s butt was hurt because of the seats were too hot. In today’s woke politically correct litigious world black seats would have been outlawed if people were having butt hurt issues. |

Hmmmmm, bringing back up the unscrupulous advertising in the car sales industry.
Go to telsa site and explain to me what the $6,500 gas savings for five years is, and why does that impact the msrp. |

I've had 'white seats' in my '67 GTO for the past 31 years and they get just has hot as the dark seats I have in my other GTO's. I've been driving longer than you've been on the planet. |

same test with leather.. black is 20 degrees hotter than white leather when exposed to the sun
Obviously, this applies only to the part of the material directly exposed to the sunlight. Shady parts of the interior will be same as air temperature regardless of interior color. It is the sun's UV light that heats up darker materials more, so, the difference applies to the sun exposed parts of the seats. |

Even if that wasn't the case, on modern cars, white interiors are hideous and inevitably look like sh*t if you are a person that actually works and is dirty on occasion. I'd rather be hot for 10 seconds than have to deal with that nonsense. |

Wait, what? Stop the presses, this is big news! HUGE NEWS! Dark colors absorb heat more efficiently than light colors. Who knew? So you're saying that white seats and black seats are the same temp inside a car unless the sun is shining directly on them? I'm shocked, SHOCKED I tell ya. |

I have owned mostly black, my C7Z has red seats and red and black interior accents, I would go with that again. As far as my rules for exterior colors, must be black but prefer a metallic black. I can live with gray, or possibly red,,, blue would be a consideration if the hue was good. My C7Z is white, which I like, mostly because I got a very good used price on it, but white is far from the top of my favored list. AGAIN, NEVER WHITE INTERIOR, have never seen one I liked, well except for a Rolls, but I AM NOT a Rolls dood. |

See post 2733.. Total denial that white seats stay cooler when the car sits in the sun. All that I said was that I prefer white interior over black as I don't like burning my butt. I know that I burnt my butt on black seats after it was exposed to the sun for a while and I never ever had that issue with white seats. This is NOT considering preconditioning. Not all cars have cooled seats. Most actually don't. |

Bolded words added for clarity. If they're not in the sun there's no discernable difference in temp between white and black seats. You conveniently keep omitting that part.

I mean, that's pretty obvious.. Sure, you can state the obvious but it shouldn't be necessary. There is no way something will heat up above ambient air temperature if not exposed to the sun or other heat source. That's physically not possible.
