Is it just me, or is the interior of a Tesla underwhelming? I like the model S, but the seats look and feel far worse than those of the E/S class

It’s not just you.. but don’t tell this to the Tesla fan boys.

You’re right - Tesla’s interior materials are barely better than your average economy car. They skimp there and put all the money in the tech.

I don’t necessarily have anything against Tesla doing this, and their cars are great for a lot of people. But they are NOT luxury vehicles. Honestly, a new Camry’s interior is probably as nice as a Model 3’s.

Let's see if I can fully trigger the teslarati - I agree my friends with Model S or Model 3 feel underwhelming. I also love that I can fill my Toyota Mirai with hydrogen in 5 minutes and go 300 miles. 🙊🙉🙈

Going on two years with my bae. Best car I’ve ever owned. 10/10. Would buy another one in a heartbeat. Most comfortable seat I’ve ever experienced. The seats are entirely made in house. Read up on them

Haha my X has abhorrent build quality for the price I paid a few years back; definitely don’t consider a Tesla for build quality. It is possible however for other upsides to make up for this downside.

Not just you. Tesla is about EV tech first and foremost, with build quality and overall quality in distant second and third places.

I want comfort and luxury in my car and have been severely underwhelmed every time I've been in a Tesla. At those price points, I'd expect something nicer than a mid tier Camry.

I love Teslas and I honestly don’t really care for the interior that much. But that’s okay because I want a Tesla for the performance and driving experience. And having an electric car around can be convenient in some cases.

It’s not just you. The Tesla interiors lack the premium fee you would expect for the price you pay.
For now they are so far ahead in EV technology, that they really don’t have to address interior quality. Long term though, they will need to as other EVs i.e Taycan catch up while producing premium interiors at the same time.

Mostly looking at range.

I have a model 3, the QA is HORRENDOUS. But it’s a nice interior but not for the money. There are places that you can tell they cut cash:
- windows aren’t polarized
- it feels like the hard plastics get dinged by any touch
- not that quiet of an interior
- Frunk hood feels very very flimsy
- didn’t come with floor mats (wtf)

All that said - it’s a great car. Drives incredibly well so fast and no gas. It’s not perfect or for everyone, but it’s definitely not all hype.

Even Elon Musk in a recent interview with Sandy Munro admitted that the S seats were bad.

London, UK. Currently work in real estate finance for a retail/commercial bank. 2+ years exp in debt (mezz and senior). Graduated 2018 from UK target in Real Estate (around 1/5 modules were finance).

I’ve dealt with ADHD my entire life, although was just diagnosed last year. Throughout my career (assurance>industry>consulting), I’ve been able to “outwork” everyone else in the office to counter the lack of focus and other associated faux pas associated with the disorder. Recently have hot a point where I can’t put in the hours (3 yo/fam), and my work has taken a major hit. Anyone in consulting/assurance have any methods for managing this when it comes to PM duties?

Im in a junior position, have excellent feedback, work hard. I make very little $. I had 2 job offers and told my current company I couldn’t afford to stay there. They immediately matched. 4 months later I followed up and the timing of the adjustment will now align with the timing cost of living increases for inflation which apparently I’m ineligible for. Should this exempt me from a cost of living increase due the adjusted salary 5 months after we agreed to this?

Hi! I started at a new company 2 months ago and while I’m really enjoying my job so far, I’m having a hard time gauging whether or not I’m doing a “good job.” My role seems to be always evolving, which is fine and I actually enjoy being a support to the greater marketing team, but I feel like I need better defined targets to make sure I’m meeting expectations. Also, when I ask my boss what they’d like to see, I don’t ever get a clear answer. (Cont’d in comments)
