[POLL] Do you care about Telsa's headliner material change?

[insaneoctane]

Lots of upset people and many that don't seem to care.....which are you?

 

[flashflooder]

I'm very upset, and want what was originally expected. But the premium textile is acceptable.

 

[souslik]

Missing the option "I'm so desperate I might knit myself a pair of alcantara wing mirror covers."

(You know, there's always a missing option. It's the law.)

 

[MarkinArch]

I'm disappointed, but I'm not going to cancel my reservation over it.

 

[boiler81]

Don't show me one thing and deliver another. I don't care if you think it's superior or not. Deliver what you've shown the world, or be transparent about a pending "improvement" to your customers. Don't act like act like your customer's loyalty is a "god given right", because the rest of the world who aren't EV zealots, won't put up with it.

 

[Twiglett]

don't care about the material - just care about not knowing what it looks like, because all the tesla press and website still shows the old stuff. (hey, does that count as asking for an extra poll choice!)
Sounds like the showroom cars are the new materials so this will all blow over when we can all prod and stroke as much as we want.

Don't worry. Just trust that Tesla will do it right.

somewhere between "Unhappy, but the premium textile is acceptable" and "couldn't care less" maybe near the right arrow on

 

[run-the-joules]

I have to wait to see what it's like in person, but I'm conceptually pretty disappointed. "At least it's synthetic suede" was how I justified the light headliner to myself.

 

[jelloslug]

I'm planning on reupholstering the headliner in black when I get it anyway so it's a moot point to me.

Even more lots of many people that don't seem to care than lots of upset people by a 4 to 1 margin. Your phrasing gives away your bias. This is a flaw in logic called "a priori convictions."

I'm with the majority on the poll (as of this writing): I prefer cloth. As for whether Tesla has the right to make changes, yes, they do. This is a car that's essentially in beta testing, with early buyers as the testers, and it's to be expected that changes will be made. Unless your contract promises a feature, Tesla can make any changes it likes, and you are free to decline to accept the car. I can just about guarantee they will continue to make changes, because Tesla makes a point of being flexible. The software is constantly being changed after the sale via OTA updates, and the hardware will be changed as Tesla feels changes are needed. If they had to keep the car exactly the same as the first display unit it would not be as good a car.

Other car companies make changes once a year. Tesla makes changes whenever an improvement is available. No matter what they change, some folks won't like it. Well, they can cancel their reservation, or if they already have their car, apparently they can still get a bit more than they paid for it.

Honestly, I'm surprised that people are complaining about not getting fake leather in their car.

Again, people can be divided into two groups: those who divide people into two groups and those who don't. Same goes with the polls. Who cares, since it is a personal preference anyway

I believe people can be divided into 10 groups, those who understand binary and those who don't.

 

[sreams]

I believe the poll is flawed. I am not upset with the change. But I am unhappy with the lack of communication, which to me is the larger issue. There is no box for me to check.

 

[tashtibet]

I am waiting for tons of cancellation and those who trust Tesla and care less of little thing will prevail.

 

[insaneoctane]

I'm certainly biased, but tried really hard to make the poll and my text un-biased....alas, I still seem to have failed.

You check "Unhappy, but the premium textile is acceptable" or "Happy, I prefer the new premium textile" and then come vent the specifics here.

 

[Glamisduner]

Well now they just need to downgrade the seats so I don't need the PUP package anymore. Seats are probably not 5k better anyways.

 

[GenSao]

I "Couldn't care less", but Tesla should have announced the change prior to reservation holder's reviving the car. Better to be up front of a change, than be surprised and likely get a more negative reaction.
