Anyone know if the leather-trimmed seats will be identical between 400A and 401A?

Now I'm LOL!! Thanks for that comment.

Entitled? Not really, I was always taught that you put things back the way you found them. And the last time I checked, it is my car.

Yes, I do understand what it takes; just before exiting the car, push the seat adjustment button the same amount of time they did when they got in the car.

I just think you lack insight. This would only apply for vehicles with memory. All of these vehicles have manual seat backs, so even then, memory only controls the tracks. What about vehicles without memory? What about vehicles with manual tracks? So for the 90% of vehicles you’re not accounting for it would take a lot of time to accommodate the request is the point I’m getting at…. H-Point is not simple. You’re potentially asking for an extra 30 minutes to an hour for a mechanic to be technically accurate in setting a seat back to its original position. Time is money and this will never happen

And regardless of task, moving your seat back to your preferred position is such a menial thing to have a grudge against. It literally takes seconds. Why people waste energy getting frustrated over these things is beyond me.

If I was a mechanic and someone got mad at me for not moving their seat back, I'd laugh and walk away.

I mean, seriously… it boggles my mind how much people only think about their particular situation and don’t take the big picture into perspective

Very unlikely. One of the main differences between the two packages in the S550 is the seat trim.

I was wondering the same, what's different exactly other than may be the stitching. Is the leather any better, are the back seats in the 401A actual leather rather than vinyl?

If the seats are like the 2018+ S550, then 400A and 401A will have different leather entirely.

Whether it’s thicker or full grain vs. half grain remains to be seen. It’s been discussed on M6G and members who have owned cars from the same model year confirm the difference in seat quality.

That's good to hear, do you happen to know if the backseats were upgraded to leather in the S550s?

The rear seats should match the front seats but nothing would really surprise me at this point.

Don't worry too much. I put my money where it gets the most value. I have found a dealer with mechanics that have no issues whatsoever in accommodating my request to just take a second to move the seat all the way back when exiting my car. GTG!

Sorry for the detour folks!

I read on here that memory seats only affect the bottom half of the seat and not the top (since it's only manual adjust there), is that accurate?

If so I have more incentive to go 400A instead of 401A. (The only reasons I'd go Premium are the sound system and vented seats. Oh, and the two connected screens.)

I wasn’t worried at all. Your response barely makes logical sense. Glad I could help you find a dealer to accommodate your entitlement though. All in a days work, ya know

Yea that’s sadly true and not sure why both driver and passenger have manual control for the “lean” of the seat not sure what the actual name is but electronic for the other controls

Now I'm curious (and I apologize if this is considered off topic), am I weird for not minding hard plastics in my car? I feel like functionally they would make the car lighter than with soft touch material, and it makes for great rhythm tapping material for whenever I get bored waiting in my car. Maybe I just don't understand the stigma outside of a craftsmanship perspective.

I mean you said it, the craftsmanship is worse because they're cheaper and easier to make. I understand where you're coming from but I don't want to spend $60k for my car to feel like a toy lol. Lightness wise is almost certainly negligible, if you want lightness start tearing out seats.
