Whoopsy:
And Teslas don't have the luxury class interior to match the luxury class pricing..........
The Model S compete with say Acura luxury wise, but cost many times over.
The Model 3 compete with Camry yet cost many times over.
The incoming Model Y will be a RAV4 competitor but will cost may times over.
Model 3, Model X, Model S, Model Y are miles behind in interior against the e-tron.
All Tesla interiors are econobox grade.
Yes the pricing puts them at the luxury segment, but they are definitely not luxury cars.
This also makes you wonder why with Tesla charging so much yet giving a basic el cheapo interior yet still manage to lose so much money.
That’s what you would like to to be. But that’s not the case Just wishful thinking.
You wonder why Tesla is charging so much for their interiors? Because people think they are nice Are they as nice as the top of the line of Porsche/Audi/Mercedes/BMW? No. Are they better than the base of all these? Easily. They slot in the middle. And not only that’s good enough to define them as luxury interiors, but because of their minimalist and different look, people think are are more than good enough for the price they pay. They are far beyond the average interiors like Ford GM and Toyotas and that’s why they are luxury class, it is not even debatable. Have you seen a base BMW series 3 or Audi Q5 interior these days? The Teslas even the Model 3 easily holds the comparaison. Alcantara roof lining rings a bell? The X has it standard but you have to get pretty far up in price to get it in the Germans. And Tesla does not use leather. So how are you going to compare to a full leather Porsche interior which by the way is going to cost you an arm and a leg?
People here have means way above average and tend to forget what a normal car interior is. Tesla is a luxury mass market car manufacturer whether you like it or not and they own the luxury sedan market in the USA
EV tech is expensive, do you think Audi makes money on the ETron? I doubt it. They priced it aggressively to hurt Tesla. Tesla is a major headache for the Germans. They already cost BMW CEO its job and they have stolen ten of thousands of the most profitable sales in the usury segment in the USA. And that’s even before the Model Y comes out because so far the even more lucrative small luxury crossover segment has been shielded away from Tesla. But they are coming and it is going to hurt the wallet.
I ride in average mass market cars almost everyday and there is simply no comparaison with the cheapest Model 3 interiors. Even before you even compare the interior designs and materials used, the screen interface and tech is two decades behind
