Hi! I know how you feel with the interior, as I own a Mercedes S-Class and also a Porsche GT3. It's hard to get the best of both worlds with I picked up my Tesla M3. I was able to integrate a couple of extra comforts and sporty aesthetic upgrades to bridge the gap. Being a former Model S and Model X owner, I knew my M3 interior would be very minimalist. I love the car for all its other awesome features, but needed to add a few things as you can see in my photos. As my daily driver, the seat upholstery replacements with diamond stitch leather was a smart choice. With the original seats, I'd say in my opinion they were as comfy as the seats in a Mercedes C-class range.
I added glossy carbon fiber to the wood panel and steering wheel. I wanted to do more like the center console and other trimmings, but the cost would be too much. To me, I like the touch of sportiness that reminds me of my Porsche. Hope this helps give you an idea of some things you can do to spruce up the inside to your liking.
looks great! the seats look like they are from Tsportline
is the dash carbon a wrap?
If those are the Tsportline seats then they really should replace the photos on their website, because they look much, much better in gemmisa's photo. Here's the Tsportline photo for reference (looks like a poor render):
Yeeessss! And when I put my parking pass on the dashboard at work, it stays put.That was my thought too when the 3 was first announced. But I've been driving my sister's 3 for a few months now and while I wouldn't say I prefer only 1 screen to the 2 screens in S and X, the difference between the cars is much less than one might expect. In fact, it's really nice not having the instrument cluster screen because the view of the road is so much better.
Mercedes interior design is definitely more ornate and that’s not to everyone’s taste. But even modern can be upscale eg in new Audis etc. 3 doesn’t feel like a $55k car. So I’d have to “fix” the interior if I get the 3. Being an EV is important but this feels like a compromise.
If you take a bit off of his commentary, Tampa is right. But also one must consider that all of that extra stuff you see in your photo is required to adjust various settings. The 3 only requires the single screen and it controls everything. I am very much an interior guy but I have just a single complaint so far; the lack of choices with the really releases. When production gets up to 5k cars a day, maybe even a tad sooner, we should see more interior options as far as color goes. Seriously, reading your lamentation about the lack of a 'more refined' interior is a bit of a shock since even with the X and the S, I feel the interior is very minimalist and spartan also (though not too the same degree as the 3). There is a new car coming that has a refined interior from Lucid called the Lucid Air. It has the look of luxury and starts at a luxury price.The 3 doesn’t feel like a $55k ICE car because that’s not what it is. It’s important recognize what you’re paying for. It’s really a $25k car strapped onto a $30k battery pack. Nothing wrong upgrading the appointments if you’d like a more refined interior.
This.Personally, I love the way new Mercedes and BMW interiors look in photos, but they’re dissapointing IRL. Less is more, especially when high quality materials are used. ...
I take it you have not driven it yet. This was my concern before we got the car. Now after 2,800 miles I greatly prefer the Tesla interior as it truly is more functional than any of my other cars.Honestly, the biggest thing I find making the 3 look incomplete is the lack of an instrument cluster. The S and X interior don’t seem incomplete. I wish Tesla had just spent a few hundred dollars per car to add that to the 3.

Does anyone know if you can get stitched leather on the steering wheel airbag cover and top of dashboard (where I assume passenger airbag is)?
Thanks.
