I just found Katzkin is now making Mach-E seat covers. Not too thrilled about the designs but I’m sure you can design your own.

I think it’s mostly because it’s a lot lighter than real leather for weight targets during development. Also has the added bonus of greenwashing and catering to the people that are zealots. I do like the material to be honest, but also have seat covers on mine because my lifestyle is rough on seats and we have a lot of really big dogs.

It's just silly marketing. In the 70's they just called it Vinyl. Calling it "vegan leather" makes people feel better about paying more.

I have zero experience with any interior modifications (or exterior ones for that matter), so forgive me if this is a question with an obvious answer. Looking at the site they offer seat heating and cooling. Given that the car comes with heated seats, if you replace them with Katzkin can it utilize the heating element that came standard?

My wife got these off Amazon for $156.00 and they are pretty nice. Will stop accidental punctures and scratches from guest in the car. They are also air bag compatible for the MME.

Yes you can retain the OEM seat heaters no problem. You can also add the cooling if you want too.

I love the material! Very comfy seat for daily and long distance driving. I guess I would say I go pretty easy on my seats (very careful with eating/drinking in the car, put down blanket for small dogs, vacuum regularly). But I am 6’3 and 220 pounds and put some stress on the material. After 10k miles, so far so good…no cracks tears or stains. Good job Ford! Now keep it up!

FYI, If you select "other" and call them, they do have templates for the GTPE (at least as of today). I had them triple-check to be sure and they sent me the PDF as well.

Just ordered to have the heated/cooled version installed and should have feedback on them in ~3 weeks but went through the whole process including VIN, pictures, etc with no issues.

REALLY happy they showed up because missing the ventilated seats was the killer for my wife and she loves it otherwise (wasn't looking forward to trading it in when summer arrived because it's perfect otherwise).

Went with black tuscany leather, perforated inserts, black stitching and the degreez heating/cooling.

Please post when it's all done - I'm super interested. I had it done to a 2008 Saturn Outlook and thought they did a pretty decent job.
