Why Coverland’s 2013 Tesla Model S Seat Covers Have Sold Over 100,000 Sets
Published: 02/13/2026

When we reached the milestone of selling over 100,000 seat cover sets specifically for the 2013 Tesla Model S, even our engineering team took a moment to reflect. In the automotive aftermarket, moving that volume for a single model year is rare. However, the Model S is no ordinary car, and the 2013 edition occupies a unique, almost sacred space in the history of electric vehicles (EVs).
Customers trust Coverland when searching for the best 2013 Tesla Model S seat covers for premium comfort and maximum protection for your OEM seats. As an SGS-certified manufacturer of premium Tesla car seat covers, we focus on the Big 4: (1) A high aesthetic that matches the Model S cabin, (2) superior comfort with breathable memory foam and leatherette layers that look and feel like premium leather, (3) ultimate safety for a safe driving experience, and (4) the highest level of protection for your OEM seats.
To understand why so many owners have turned to Coverland to protect their interiors, we have to look back at the "Big Bang" moment of the modern electric era and examine the specific challenges faced by those who own a piece of this history.
The Birth of a Legend: Why the 2013 Model S Changed Everything
In 2013, the automotive world looked very different. Electric cars were largely seen as glorified golf carts: small, slow, and aesthetically challenged. Then came the Tesla Model S. While the 2012 model was the official launch, it was the 2013 production year that solidified Tesla’s reputation. This was the year Tesla proved they could scale production, winning the Motor Trend Car of the Year in a unanimous vote, the first time in history a non-internal combustion engine vehicle took the top prize.
The 2013 Model S wasn't just a car; it was a statement. It featured a massive 17-inch touchscreen that controlled everything, over-the-air software updates that made the car better while you slept, and a silhouette that rivaled the best luxury sedans from Germany and Italy. It offered a staggering 265 miles of range (for the 85kWh version), which, at the time, was unheard of.
Why the 2013 Edition is Special to Tesla Collectors
For many "early adopters," the 2013 Model S is the "OG" of the EV revolution. It represents the transition from a niche startup to a global powerhouse. Owners of these vehicles tend to be enthusiasts who plan on keeping their cars indefinitely. However, a decade of use takes its toll. The 2013 interior, while minimalist and beautiful, featured leather and upholstery materials that were prone to "patina" (or more accurately, cracking and wear), especially on the driver's side bolsters and the rear seats where families and pets reside.

Living Up to Tesla Standards: The Coverland Car Seat Cover Mission
Tesla owners are notoriously detail-oriented. You don’t buy a car that’s "software-defined" if you don’t appreciate precision. When we designed our seat covers for the 2013 Model S, we knew that a generic "baggy" cover would be an insult to the car’s design. We set out to create a product that felt less like a cover and more like a factory upholstery refresh.
Respecting the "Aero" Philosophy
The Model S is designed around aerodynamics and sleek lines. Our car seat covers are 3D-laser scanned to ensure they hug the contours of the seats exactly. This "second skin" fit is a major reason why we’ve crossed the 100,000-set mark. When you install a Coverland 2013 Tesla Model S seat covers set, you don't lose the iconic shape of the seats; you simply enhance them.
Solving the Specific Needs of the Tesla Community
Through our interactions with the Tesla community from forums to local meetups, we identified three major pain points for 2013 Model S owners:
- Safety Integrity: Early Tesla owners are safety-conscious. They worry that covering seats might interfere with the sophisticated airbag systems.
- Tech Integration: Owners didn't want to lose access to the seat-back pockets or the electronic seat adjustment controls.
- Material Longevity: The original 2013 leather was thinner than current Tesla "vegan" leather, leading to significant wear-and-tear.
Coverland addressed every one of these concerns with a precision amalgamation of luxurious elegance and ruggedness.

Understanding the Features and Benefits of Our 2013 Tesla Model S Seat Covers
To understand how we achieved the 100,000 sales mark for these specific Tesla seat covers, you have to look under the surface. Our covers are multi-layered engineering marvels. Here is a breakdown of why they are the preferred choice for Model S owners:
- SGS-Certified Airbag-Safe Stitching: We use a proprietary, computerized sewing process that creates a specialized "breakaway" seam.
- The Benefit: In the event of an accident, the side-impact airbags in your 2013 Model S will deploy with zero resistance. This has been independently verified by SGS, the world’s leading testing body. You get the protection of a cover without sacrificing the safety of a Tesla.
- High-Resilience Memory Foam Core:
- Every cover is lined with a 5mm layer of high-density memory foam.
- The Benefit: Many 2013 seats have lost their "cush" over the last decade. Our memory foam doesn't just provide comfort; it restores the original ergonomic support of the seat, reducing driver fatigue during long Supercharging road trips.
- Micro-Perforated Breathability:
- The center panels of our leatherette covers feature thousands of microscopic perforations.
- The Benefit: Tesla seats can get hot, especially with the large glass panoramic roofs common in 2013 models. Our micro-perforations allow for better airflow and heat dissipation, ensuring you don't "stick" to the seat on a summer day in California or Florida.
- Split-Bench "Smart Access":
- Our rear seat covers are designed as a multi-piece system to accommodate the 60/40 split-bench.
- The Benefit: You can still fold down your rear seats to fit a mountain bike or groceries without having to unzip or remove the covers. Every latch and child-seat anchor remains fully accessible.
- Non-Slip Silicone Backing:
- The underside of our covers is coated with a heat-resistant, non-slip silicone mesh.
- The Benefit: One of the biggest complaints with cheap covers is "sliding" when you enter or exit the car. Our backing creates a high-friction bond with the original seat material, keeping the cover locked in place even during the "Ludicrous" acceleration Tesla is known for.
- Vegan Leatherette with UV Shielding:
- We use a premium SGS-certified leatherette that is 100% vegan-friendly.
- The Benefit: It matches the modern Tesla aesthetic perfectly while providing superior UV resistance. Unlike real leather, it won't dry out or crack when exposed to constant sunlight through the windshield, and it requires zero conditioning, just a wipe with a damp cloth.
The Aesthetic Revolution: Elevating the 2013 Tesla Model S Interior
The 2013 Tesla Model S was a pioneer in minimalist automotive design, introducing a sleek, button-free aesthetic that defined the future of electric luxury. However, a decade on the road can leave even the most forward-thinking cabin looking tired. Coverland’s custom seat covers are designed to do more than just protect; they act as a high-end interior renovation that perfectly complements Tesla’s signature "Aero" philosophy. By utilizing 3D-scanning technology, our covers achieve a sculpted, "second-skin" fit that eliminates the bunching and sagging typically associated with aftermarket accessories. The result is a look so seamless that passengers often mistake them for a factory-installed premium upholstery upgrade.
The true beauty of a Coverland transformation lies in the ability to customize your environment. We understand that Tesla owners value choice, which is why we offer our 2013 Model S covers in a palette of sophisticated colors designed to match or reinvent your cabin's personality.
The Palette of Modern Luxury:
- Classic Black: For the owner who wants to maintain that sleek, stealthy executive look. Our black leatherette features a deep, rich pigment that hides daily wear while adding a sophisticated sheen to the cabin. It’s the ultimate choice for a timeless, professional aesthetic.
- Minimalist White: Perhaps the most iconic Tesla look, our "Ultra White" covers allow owners of 2013 models to achieve the modern, airy feel of the newer Tesla generations. Unlike the original factory white seats, our material is treated with a stain-resistant barrier, making it easy to maintain that "heavenly" glow without the constant fear of denim transfer or spills.
- Neutral Greys and Tans: For those looking to bridge the gap between classic luxury and modern tech, our tan and grey options provide a warm, inviting atmosphere that softens the high-tech interior.
Every set is crafted from our SGS-certified premium leatherette, which provides the supple texture of top-grain leather without the maintenance. The integrated memory foam adds a subtle "plumpness" to the seat bolsters, restoring the sharp, architectural lines of the 2013 seats. Whether you are aiming for the bold contrast of white seats against a dark exterior or the understated elegance of monochrome black, Coverland ensures your Model S remains a masterpiece of modern design.
The Sustainability Factor: Tesla Has It, So Does Coverland
Tesla’s mission is to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy. Coverland aligns with this by extending the life of existing vehicles. By installing our seat covers, 2013 Model S owners are essentially "upcycling" their interiors. Instead of replacing an entire seat or, worse, trading in a perfectly good mechanical car because the interior looks "trashed," owners can spend a fraction of the cost to make the cabin feel brand new.
This longevity is key. Every 2013 Model S kept on the road is one less car in a landfill and one less new car that needs to be manufactured. Our covers are built to last another decade, matching the incredible lifespan of the Tesla battery and motor.
