While I can't say I've sat within a Tesla, I do know they began by making sports cars not luxury cars. Personally, I've always felt sports car companies---Porsche, Ferrari, and Mazda for a low-end comparison---all have interiors that feel far less luxurious than any luxury car available for 1/3rd the price, and many family cars of 1/2 the price. Porsche didn't have cup holders until their 2001 editions, and as an unfortunate owner of one, I can attest those are the flimsiest cupholders ever to grace the face of the earth, and the entire interior is filled with so much fiddly plastic that's just waiting to break and often does. Any Mercedes, even one from 10 years previous, would have a nicer interior. Did that prevent me from buying another Porsche? Well, no it didn't. I like the way the cars drive, and eschew luxury features if their weight is going to do anything to the handling or performance of the car.
