On the one hand, it's cool that Tesla have made electric cars appealing to the high-end market, because that's the only market that can really afford them at the moment, which lets them bootstrap and iterate downmarket to achieve their stated goal of helping the world transition to carbon free power.
But I hope they don't get too caught up in high-end details like fancy leathers, because unlike the cost of the battery, those aren't on a steady downward trajectory, and therefore distract from making a mass market car.
