> it's hard to believe that this far through the lifecycle the model S interior is so lacking.
Moving to America, I found it really interesting how many cars have every possible interior gadget known to man, but the important parts are crap. Not only did my 1996 North American car have a mirror on the passenger sun shade, that mirror had a cover, under that cover was a light, AND that light had a dimmer switch.
Of course, the body panels were built to the nearest 1/4inch and it leaked oil like a sieve, but my god the interior was nice.
I'm happy to see an automaker spending money on the bits that count, i.e. the drive train, rather than do the same drive train thing they've been doing for 50+ years and pretty up the interior.
If your personal choice is that interior > drive train, then that choice is right there for you to make, and you are free to make it.
