This common comment is funny to me because I _like_ Tesla's design sensibilities for their interiors. I'll be the first to say the fit, finish, and materials could all be better, but what they are doing visually is clean and minimal, which I really like. All that said, they hired Anders Bell away from Volvo a while ago specifically to help with interior quality. This may be the first project that really has his mark on it.

It’s clean but feels like a Hyundai and that is in the best case scenario, which works for the model 3 especially if they can bring it’s price down even more but for the model s it’s a bit shameful.

  Have you been inside an actual model 3? Or are you basing your comment on pics? I got ours a couple of weeks ago and it’s definitely not like a Hyundai. The interior is very clean, modern, far superior to any other car I’ve been in. My first thoughts when I got in was— the BMW 3 series is dead. My second thought was, they better refresh the Model S interior to match this asap because the Model S looks dated compared to it.

    Aside from the better look, it seems like the build quality has made significant advancements too, yeah? (I've yet to sit in a Model 3.) The Model S squeaks and rattles like a 1980s Oldsmobile!

      We also have an older build Model S. Though I didn't experience any squeaks with the S, the Model 3 does seem much more solid and very well built. Here's a pretty good review comparing the S with the 3: http://teslaweekly.com/my-initial-impressions-on-the-model-3/ http://teslaweekly.com/my-initial-impressions-on-the-model-3...

      My S doesn't squeak or rattle. From the various complaints I'm sure Tesla has built some that do, but you might be over-generalizing a little.

  I have a Hyundai and Model S. They don’t feel remotely similar. The Hyundai feels like a relic from the past and I only bought it in 2015

Needs more physical knobs.

  I find the knobs on the steering wheel to be fine on the S.
