So you're defining premium cars by the things that everyone hates about those cars, other than build quality. The German car companies will nickle and dime you

The German car companies will nickle and dime you to death with options, they have terrible interiors/user interfaces, etc. Granted I wish the model 3 had cooled seats but meh.
Even a model S doesn't count with that logic.
- t0mas88 6y agoCompared to a luxury German car I think the model 3 has far worse isolation, more plastic and vibrations, fake leather, much less seat options in terms of adjustments, often misaligned panels. All OK for the mid range car that it is, but I was responding to Tesla calling it the best selling premium car.
- 11thEarlOfMar 6y ago'More plastic and vibrations...' Please be more specific. More plastic than the BMW or Mercedes? And what parts are vibrating? Do you mean making an audible sound? Or the car is shimmying?
- SEJeff 6y agoThey did patent a system for heating and cooling seats[1], so I suspect that will come eventually.
