    You forget that the west coast catches on fire on a regular basis now--we spent much of last summer with non-breathable air.

    Agree. I'd rather have the ability to fit 8 Big Gulp colas from 7-11 in my Model S rather than being able to breathe when being coal rolled by a dude in his brodozer.

    Don’t understand what the fuss about cupholders is all about. It’s definitely a first-world matter. On the other hand, breathable air is more and more and problem world over. Maybe we all should have more concern about that.

    What is wrong with the cup holders?

    It may just be semantics but I figured it would pivot instead of tilt.

    Indeed, the way I read it that the center screen could pivot towards the left or right (although I'd imagine just a small amount). Completely unnecessary, but I could see it coming in hand from time to time to mitigate glare or improve ergonomics with a passenger. The kind of thoughtful little things that a luxury car should have - maybe Tesla is turning over a new leaf?

    And after driving an EV for several years, I am more acutely aware of the exhaust while in the car or just walking the streets.

    This is definitely true. A few months after buying our S I grew more sensitive to the smell of car exhaust when my wife started up her ICE car in the morning. It never bothered me before owning an EV.

    That said, I also appreciate lots of cup holders and love that our S has six cup holders for five passengers.

    The cupholders in the front of the S and X are too close together for most normal size cups and, therefore, not really usable. Yes, it's a champagne problem.

    But, there's already a HEPA filter on the car. I know it's trying to clean the air as much as possible, I don't understand how Tesla prioritizes its backlog or features. That's really my question, I guess. Spend time on an AQ system and number, but no arm rest in the second row of the X, for example. But the software may be easier than the armrest. Doesn't really matter.

    I'd think the air quality index figure is just pulled off the Internet based on GPS location, rather than being from a sensor on the car.
