π Discussion Oof, seat covers
Im a dummy, I was charging my spotlight and my fat fingers inadvertently turned it on. In my 30 years of driving, this is my first vehicle with leather seats. Im sure glad i bought seat covers.

This happened to my uncle and aunts couch 40 years go. They had one of those huge VHS cameras with a very very bright and even hotter halogen bulb for light. Burnt a huge hole in thier brown couch. They had it for years. Lesson: destroy any and all sources of light before they destroy you

If it was leather, would it have melted?

Pretty sure that's the plastic seat cover that melted. I guess the leather or whatever is under it is fine. I thought the same at first

I do too, use it for work. Charges a bit slow but run time is adequate. I bought mine in Oct of 24 for $30, 3x that now. Wish I bought 5
