Mmmm, average looking interior for a car in this price-range?
Projector pops out and plays movies on the glass roof.
Tesla Ride sharing is more fun!

I don't mind the somewhat "ordinary" interior. Tesla is trying to make this car comfortable/familiar/"safe" for the masses.
No falcon wings or risky things to derail. The reason you want this car is because it doesn't use fuel, and performs/drives/looks better than your other options.
Hopefully the little 'different' things like the door handles, minimalist dashboard, and floating touch screen end up being accepted and appreciated by customers going forward.
They set out to keep costs down and make production easy / reliable. Using mostly standard approaches should make it easier for suppliers to relate to this design.

Some quick observations on the 2nd row seating:
(1) The center seat has a fold-down armrest.
(2) The head restraint for the center seat appears to be a movable piece that can be made hidden for better rearward visibility.
(3) Nice conveniences for the occupants: USB ports, HVAC vents, seatback pockets on both sides handy for phones & tablets, door pockets. It's looking good as a family sedan.
This resolves almost every complaint I had about the original Model S rear seating. Drink/bottle holders are the only thing I don't see, but it's possible that the door pockets are wide enough for bottles. Also, the center armrest may conceal drink holders.

I suspect a piano-black cover on the center console reflects part of the ceiling. Love piano-black. I must say pictures look much more elegant than what I expected. Simple and sharp.

If only drink holders were an option. I would happily pay to not have them. They remind me of people in Wall-E

I like the interior so far. It looks like a quieter version of the softex in DW's plug-in Prius.

Please do not say that. I despise soft-tex, and not only because my wife complained about it so much we traded in our Lexus after one year. Softex is vinyl, and it belongs in a Hyundai (if anywhere.)

I don't think you've spent enough time in a bmw 3 series or an audi a4 which are the same price sedan... They are not as good as your imagination or their marketing teams make them out to be. Design wise this interior is above average, especially the rear seats.
