The Tesla Drop-In achieves those functions and provides a bit more storage space than the CCI. One of the aesthetic issues with the Tesla Drop In is that when a beverage is being held in their cup holder, the storage door must be open and all your stuff (or at least most of it) is in full view. With the CCI, cup holder and storage space are separate, therefore your stuff remains out of sight. Another important aesthetic issue is that the CCI allows you to select the interior upholstery color that you have in your car. The Drop-In is black upholstery only. Finally, the most important aesthetic issue is that the CCI provides a full carbon fiber or wood veneer deck that corresponds to your interior trim. The Drop In deck is mostly plastic, although it does provide a touch of interior trim, but it's only a touch. The CCI costs a bit less (with the "tough deck" option—a lot less) than the Tesla Drop In. Finally, the CCI has been available in all of its variants since March, 2013.
