Modified Tesla Pet Seat Cover - Quick Release

 Tesla branded Dog Seat Cover - Yet modified for quick release

I love my Tesla pet seat cover as it's well built, fits perfect, and made of very nie material. However since the way they install on the non-moveable front Tesla headrests, removing them and reinstalling them past the snugged headrests raised concerns for me of wear and tear on the seat material and headrest/stitching/seams. So in order to prevent this constant taking down and reinstalling of the connecting strap to the seat when I want to take in rear passengers, I used these quick release snaps from Amazon.  (<---link to purchase here)

Simply install the dog cover as normal. Determine where you need to cut the factory Tesla dog seat cover strap (i chose somewhere in the middle after eyeballing it) then attach the buckle system. Oh tip: to ensure the ends of the freshly cut straps DO NOT FRAY, run the ends over a lighter or a gas stove flame really quickly to sear/burn the fabric ends. Just enough to melt it.  A split second is all it takes to lock in the ends.

The buckles I linked above are the perfect size and come with all the needed plastic hardware to ensure the straps do not come loose.  You can do it to the rear as well but the rears simply loop over the rear headrests and do not require "snaking through" or "squeezing through" the headrests.  This system makes taking the Tesla pet seat cover down a breeze when you need to let passengers in the back!
