This is a common complaint by people and I'm starting to believe it's just the only thing people can find wrong with it so it seems to stick. I read the same thing yesterday on a different article about this new Porsche concept.
That said, this is the first car I've found interesting since I bought a Tesla. With everything else, it's eh--it's probably loud, vibrates, has jerky acceleration, drips on the garage floor, makes me stand in the cold while I fill it with gas, uses old "tiny explosions under the hood" technology.
Should we criticize the best because it could be better? Of course, that's how we make progress. Would I prefer a different car with a better interior but a bunch of other compromises? No way.
- ZeroGravitas 11y agoTesla have mentioned a few times that they don't want people who work for them to think of themselves as a luxury car maker, since their business plan is to go mass market. Obviously that leads to some weird contradictions since the plan is to fund that by selling little sportscars, then high-end sedans, then high-end SUVs, before the still relatively high-end 3, but not spending too much time on the luxury interior does kind of fit with that ethos.

- braythwayt 11y agoThat's the exact business Apple are in with the iPhone. The most expensive models fund the company and make it possible to push the more affordable models to a broader and broader base of users.
- beachstartup 11y agological fallacy: false dichotomy. why not prefer a tesla with a nice interior? you're allowed to ask for that when you buy high end cars.
- andykellr 11y agoI do prefer a Tesla with a nicer interior. Like this Porsche, it doesn't exist. My point is that the interior, which is actually great but could possibly be better, isn't really important to me when nearly every other aspect of the car is amazing and better than anything else I would consider in its price range.
- greglindahl 11y agoI like the Tesla interior as it is. It is different in style from BMW, Mercedes, and Porsche interiors. Lots of reviewers say positive things about the interior. So it's not just me.
