I'm guessing not much can be done to fix this? Stitching got snagged on something and now a foot of thread is dangling....ugh

I am sure an upholsterer can fix that with some hand stitching.

+1 I’m sure a pro would fix that easily.

I think all T models are still under warranty. Can you just take it to dealer to fix it?
(Potentially getting new seat covering)

A dealer can't fix that, it would be replaced. It was snagged, not defective.

Trim the strings off with cuticle scissors leave just a small bit hanging, don't go totally flush. Maybe 1/16 of an inch. Take a very small dab of Superglue Gel on a toothpick and glue down the existing end thread. Will be a permanent fix and you won't see it. Not too much glue, just a very small amount.

Pseudo poll. Trim and glue down or throw a few stitches, or take to upholstery shop? Or replace the car with a GT3?

Resident seamstress says she would try attaching small curved needle to hanging thread and going through holes in leather, to mend pulled out area. Since original stitching goes back and forth, with a separate thread underneath to catch the white thread, you’ll need to be careful not to pull more out. Suggest a hemostat to stabilize thread where it last came out, so that when you remove slack (while re-stitching), that more does not come out.
We believe an upholstery shop could easily do, if you can’t yourself.

My wife does a lot of sewing and she says you f'-ed and replacement is her suggestion. But she also agreed with the aforementioned glue method but to use fabric glue and take your time...might be able to make it look decent from a distance.

Replacement would be a couple grand. As much as I want to that's a lot for some stitching. Probably will just trim and glue down. Thanks everyone

Good idea. Please post a pic of how it turns out.

What do you think about removing all the stitching? You might be left with a shadow and some small needle pinholes, which may disappear over time. Leaving bald spots would bother me.

If you find the best upholstery shop in your region, they should be able to salvage this mess. Maybe call eExclusive option since they claim to have leather and thread that matches the factory choices.
