Interior is nice, however...

I don't want buttons or a small nav screen. It looks like an old fashioned clock is in that ugly Maserati dash.

I would have liked the option to order sport seats, but the fit and finish in the Model S interior are no worse than in comparably priced cars. I would have also preferred a better console layout and cup holders. I suspect the console that will be available soon from Tesla will meet my needs.

Both teams played hard. CTC... Sheed FTW or technical

I love the styling of the Model S better than any of the pics posted upthread. I think the Nappa Leather they used for the seats is fine and I don't need any more bolstering as many said they would like. The dash and vinyl they used for the doors is very hard. I think I would like it better if it had a little "cush" behind it. Other than that, I think it's a very nice interior and combined with the big touch screen and simple layout it's my all time favorite. I imagine Tesla is taking note of all this and future interiors will probably be a little more cushy.

Bottom line for me is that the Model S while not quite "there" on the quality of materials still has the most compelling interior on the market. It was probably the interior that sealed the deal for me when I finally got to see one in person at Santana Row. Already knew I liked the exterior, but the interior is what really blew me away.

I agree with bareyb. The lines of the interior are more appealing than any other car right now. Sure the leather is not really right for such an expensive vehicle but I rather have cheap leather than not having all the futuristic technology the Model S incorporates. Outside design is stunning. Performance is crazy.

It's true that as we pay over 100.000 .-$ for a car the car should be flawless. But at the same time it's also true that we are early adopters of a new technology and company.

Those who can't accept that should not buy Model S now. Maybe in 2-3 years.

I think for a first effort it is pretty amazing. (I am not sure I count the roadster since it was really not their interior design or manufacture) . I have gotten nothing but compliments.
