Appreciate the video was just wondering if someone actually saw this in person to be able to clarify.Does this help?
Now for the disappointing part but we'll have to live with it: those matte looking areas are NOT suede-they're CLOTH. Lots of it actually. I am not against cloth as it actually can hold up better than leather long-term as far as durability. The part I don't care for is that it is more difficult to keep clean/wipe down AND despite being advertised as uber-premium the last time I checked you don't find cloth inserts in any mid-to-high level luxury car ANYWHERE.
I'm going to see how the seats do for cleanability for a while. If they prove to be difficult I'm going to have Katzkin or something similar made as long as they're able to factory-match the Indigo blue portion and maintain the factory/OEM cut/swatch pattern for the seating surfaces and do them in a darker grey/indigo mix. I was surprised they didn't do all those areas in suede like the headliner......and as you mentioned the 10th Anniversary Longhorn inserts.I agree, that was an odd choice. Especially after the 10th anniversary longhorn got leather with suede the previous model year. Are there suede shortages?
I do like some of the other things they've done for the 10th package but I would not be happy about the cloth either.
I'm under the impression that there have been plenty of warranty claims on the 2021 (and earlier) leather interiors. I would imagine it's a durability thing.

Even if that were the case, I dont see how replacing the leather with cloth in those areas mitigate warranty issues. That said, mine has 26K miles on it and my interior is perfectI'm under the impression that there have been plenty of warranty claims on the 2021 (and earlier) leather interiors.

Just picked mine up Limited yesterday! Patriot Blue exterior with Indigo/sea salt interior. Like a lot of people, I was concerned about the Indigo/sea salt. It's impossible to tell from all the photos how they really look. I think the your photo is the best one I've seen as to how it really is. You won't think "blue" when you see the Indigo. It's a very dark blue that looks great. The Sea Salt is a light gray and goes perfect with the Indigo. Long story short, in my opinion, it looks beautiful!!! Way better than I thought it would. If you were concerned the Indigo would be too blue, don't. If you were concerned the Sea Salt would be too white or cream looking, don't. If you have ordered this color interior relax, you definitely won't be disappointed!Has anyone seen this in person? Pictures/Video are hard to tell exactly what this color looks like? On the doors, dash, steering wheel and center console, is this black? or more like a dark blue? Then with the lighter shades on the seat, is it more like gray?View attachment 108676
