Expensive is relative. Model 3s and Model Ys are often cheaper than the comparable luxury competition from the BMWs and Audis of the world. Sure, a Corolla or a Kia are cheaper, but that's not the same market.
- sokoloff 3y agoI've driven a friend's Model 3 a handful of times and ridden in many different Teslas over the years. I don't think the interior quality of the Model 3 is competing favorably with Audi. M3 seems to have acres of uninspired plasticky surfaces, while Audi to me wins by miles on design, materials, and overall execution in the interior. I'm not a Tesla hater, but I think the sales they're winning are not on interior quality/luxury grounds. (Another friend's $100+K Model X was nicer in the seating area than I recalled the Model 3s being, but still suffered from a too plain/plastic dash, door cards, and other flat surfaces.)
- lizardking 3y agoIt's subjective I guess - coming to a Model Y from an Audi Q5 and driving a 3 series BMW for our second car, I prefer the interior of the Model Y to either of the others. Either way, between the fit and finish, performance, and the infotainment system, a Toyota or a Honda is not the right class of vehicle for comparison. Beyond that, a stock Tesla will blow the doors off of any non-performance luxury vehicle in its class, and often even outperform the much more expensive performance models.
