> The Model Y or whatever the hell will have relatively low technical and production risk as a result.
So I take it that the Model 3 manufacturing line issues are now solved?

That's quite subjective. It's not as "fancy" as other cars, sure. And not as much as some people would expect, given the price.
What I'd like to know is: how well does it age? Many "luxury" cars have fancy materials which get damaged rather easily.

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…
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!

I get this is a subjective opinion, but I happened to be in a tesla store this past weekend. They had a model x on the floor. The seat color chosen? WHITE. It was filthy and generally looked awful, not from a design perspective but a wear and tear perspective. I would have hoped they put more thought into their showroom than to put a color that amplifies dirt and grime on the seat.

Needs more physical knobs.

I’m surprised somewhat less by that and more by the fact that the staff isn’t doing a better job keeping them clean.
After all, how dirty could a typical Tesla storegoer be? I can’t imagine the answer to that would be “very”.

#18I used to be super gung-ho about Tesla. I've preordered the X and the 3. Never pulled the trigger on the X, and probably gonna give back my 3 reservation too.
I love the way the car drives. The driver experience is amazing, with the way it just goes where you want and autopilot just driving it on the freeway for me. If it was just me, I would get one.
But the interiors are awful. They let me test drive an X for a day, trying to convince to act on my reservation. Right after that test drive, instead of the X, we got a Honda Odyssey.
Sure it uses gas, but my family is way more comfortable in the van, and I saved $100,000. After driving the X, my first thought was, this car costs $140,000, but it feels like $30,000 on the inside. The seats were barely adjustable. There was nothing for the kids, no climate controls in the back for my wife. The back row was tight and uncomfortable for my mother in law.
I hope one day Tesla does an all electric van. But I suspect I'll get that from Honda or Toyota before they ever get around to it.

A new pair of dark-coloured jeans is enough to mess up light coloured seats; it's probably not 'dirt' in the traditional sense. (I agree with you that the staff should be ensuring the showroom stock is spotless.)

You're okay with ugly exterior though?
