Model 3 interior

Some people think Velveeta is cheese...

All of Tesla’s seat options are now vegan

I love me some grilled Velveeeeeeta sandwiches....

Would those stain the Vegan interior???

So just do the electrical one. Other new cars have two methods?

Then you don't have the failsafe.

How many cars have "failsafe" door handles?

How many cars have "failsafe" door handles?

The 2017 Bolt, Volt and Prius Prime all have electronic key fobs AND mechanical keys. So, if the 12V battery dies, you can still open the door.

How many cars have "failsafe" door handles?

All cars that have a mechanical latch to open the door from the inside? In the majority of cases, the mechanical latch is the sole and failsafe (no electricity needed) mechanism. Which, of course, brings you back to your previous question of why does it have an electrically-operated option if there's a mechanical one. I guess the same reason buildings have both elevators and stairs to enable people to ascend to upper floors. Elevators for the convenience; stairs as an alternative or backup (in an emergency or power outage). "Belts and braces", as our cousins across the pond would say.

In the end, the fact is the Model 3 has two mechanisms to unlatch the door from the inside. Our debating the (de)merits of this implementation will not change this fact. Tesla is not going to offer a configurable option to remove one of these mechanisms.

I was just asking why two and not just one. Answer: we don't know.

Maybe you can pry yours out if you don't like it. Seat belts and airbags will probably come out too.

The Model 3 interior has really grown on me. I love the clean vents and dash.

Best video I've seen of the Model 3 interior. Has close ups of small details like coat hooks, cupholders, and interior lights. IMO Tesla really got the convenience features right on the Model 3.

Commentary at the end is worth watching too. Materials, fit, and finish were excellent. Cabin felt spacious.

Every single car with electronic door releases. Certainly the Model S does.

So the S has two door handles per door?

 

[trils0n]

So the S has two door handles per door?

The Model S has one handle for each door, with emergency release pulls for the rear doors at the base of the rear seats (in between where your feet would be if you were sitting in the back).

 

[gregincal]

So the S has two door handles per door?

In the back it does. On is under the front of the back seat. In the front the door handle is dual action. Pull it normally and it triggers the electronic release. Pull it further and it does the mechanical open.

coat hooks.

OMG

[QUOTE = "thewallaby, post: 2203959, member: 62035"] Ayant des sièges en cuir sur mes 4 dernières voitures, je peux dire en toute sécurité que le cuir n'est pas tout ce que l'on prétend être ... lorsque vous utilisez la voiture pour 80% Le temps de conduire en solo pour travailler, le siège du conducteur a tendance à se rincer après 10 ans et l'autre ressemble à neuf. Un tissu ou un faux ou un combo de tissu et de cuir comme le S a probablement été le meilleur et le plus confortable. Sans parler du moins froid pour les climats inférieurs à zéro. J'avais aussi Toyota, mais ils n'utilisent pas d'alcantara ou de cuir, ils ont utilisé du vinyle qui peut être bon marché et être un peu dur sur votre derrière. [/ QUOTE]

Yes, it's the same thing with the Nissan Leaf leather ("chicken leather") but only after two years...: Eek:

The above translated:

Having leather seats on my last 4 cars, I can safely say that leather is not all that one claims to be ... when you use the car for 80% The time to drive solo for Work, the driver's seat tends to rinse after 10 years and the other looks like nine. A fabric or a fake or a combo of fabric and leather like the S was probably the best and most comfortable. Not to mention the least cold for climates below zero. I also had Toyota, but they do not use alcantara or leather, they used vinyl which can be cheap and be a bit hard on your behind.

What are they meaning by "rinse" after 10 years? Stain? Fade? Wear-Out? Crack?

No need to translate again. I think @Thierry was quoting this post, but he filtered through some kind of translate software to french.

Having leather seats on my last 4 cars i can safely say that leather isn't all it's hyped to be... when you use the car for 80% of the time to drive solo to work the driver seat tends to wrinkle up after 10 years and the other look like new. Fabric or fake or a combo of fabric and leather like the S has would probably be the best and most comfortable. Not to mention the least cold for sub zero climates. I had also Toyota but they dint't use to use alcantara or leather they used vinyl which can look cheap and be a bit hard on your behind.

Late to this thread so dunno if it's been touched upon. But look at this --- *envy* :
