I really hope we don't get forced into a leather seat option just because of option bundling.
Do they do that with the S or X? I haven't spent much time on Tesla's site configuring cars.

If you want the power lift gate or performance you have no choice - leather only.Do they do that with the S or X? I haven't spent much time on Tesla's site configuring cars.

If Tesla did anything about that they would be one of the few manufacturers who did.
That is not correct. The leather seats are an option that is independent of other options. You can easily verify that yourself by going to Order your Tesla Model S | Tesla MotorsIf you want the power lift gate or performance you have no choice - leather only.
I've never liked leather myself. Not a vegan. Had a couple of hotdogs for lunch. I just don't like the feel of it.
Yeah, kind of messed up what I was trying to say, didn't I? I just don't like the feel of leather.Maybe you should try them will a different bun.
I think I'll just wait for the reveal, since the OP didn't say "disgruntled insider".
- formica countertops or marble? Formica performs better, doesn't stain, less maintenance.
+1. I guess we here on TMC are a bunch of common-sense sort of folks! :biggrin:Entirely agree. The attraction of leather escapes me also.
I thought that IAA concept car was sweet. The extending tail looked cool and was functional by reducing drag. But the added cost and complexity won't make it into the M3. At least not the first gen.I think the low drag (something like .2 was mentioned) might make a long tail one of the Model 3's features. I recall Mercedes demoed an extending tail on their IAA concept.
That would be different from anything else on the road.
That thing is actually pretty bad-ass. However, Mercedes was caught fudging Cd on a car a couple years ago, so must be taken with a dose of salt. But the wheels and tail extender are cool.I thought that IAA concept car was sweet. The extending tail looked cool and was functional by reducing drag.

Personally I don't care, but I think not even having it as an option would kill a lot of sales in the US.
That's because they're polyester. So completely on the no-no list for me.Modern cloth seats seem to wear better and don't stain easily.
Ceramic tile.Leaving cost and conscious-based objections (e.g., vegan) aside, just like anything else, leather seats are preferred by more people because it is a natural, premium product that looks and feels better than textiles. If they cost the exact same, would you prefer

Ceramic tile. The ones from ancient Roman villas are still intact with no maintenance.- vinyl floors or hardwood/stone? Vinyl would age better and require less maintenance
Metal. Actually, plastic warps and breaks if you move it too often.- plastic kitchen cabinets or wood? I bet plastic would last longer, not fade and warp, etc.
Polyester, which I'm allergic to, or cashmere, which I'm not allergic to? Cashmere. (Nylon is rarely used for sweaters.)- synthetic sweater or cashmere? Synthetic is a lot easier to maintain
Yes, rubber soles.- dress shoes with rubber soles or leather soles? Rubber performs far better in adverse conditions and wears longer
The most durable product is often obscure enough that people don't even consider it -- notice that your either-ors were missing the best option in several cases -- but it typically does command a premium price.The most durable or longest-lasting product is most often not the one demanding a premium price.
And he said the following:
-Model 3 looks very similar to Model S, just smaller and without luxury features like leather seats
-Cost saving is due to Gigafactory, smaller battery and economy features
-Possible release of smaller, stripped down Model X at same time (not sure if name is Model Y)
We'll see if this is true next month!
Was just on the phone with Solar City and the consultant stated they received an early preview of the Model 3. I asked him if they saw pictures and he said yes, it looks like a smaller Model S. This is just another good source for the Model 3 and backs up your sources claim.
Great first post! Jumping right into the fray. :tongue: Welcome to the club. :smile:Lets not confuse common-sense and personal-preference.
