Look, this isn't complicated.
Model S has tail lights from 2012 w/ visible individual LEDs versus LED light pipes for all other models. Model S and X lack basic coat hooks and seat back pockets present in Model 3 at half the price. Model S/X dashboard looks dated compared to Model 3 and lacks the 3's revolutionary (and beautifully implemented) vent setup. Model S headlights received a POOR IIHS rating. Pano roofs no longer available on S. Model S and X both have incredibly wide and poorly designed B-pillar.
The above is just what I could recall off the top of my head. There are a substantial number of improvements that are needed, along with some evolution of the body style. Model S and X sales are in the proverbial toilet and Tesla needs to do something pretty sweet to revive the line.
1. The coat hooks, I agree, should be implemented. I couldn't care less about seat back pockets which just gather Goldfish from kids sitting in the back.
2. Tesla said they want to have the S and X separate as luxury models, and have the 3 and Y as "standard" models. That means having a more luxurious interior. The S and X are also designed to be much more practical while the 3 and Y are minimalist and innovative. I don't consider looking to the right to see your speed practical at all. Sure, the air vents are cool, but they come at a huge cost.
I agree that there need to be improvements. However, those improvements are features, which they are sort of lacking in the S and X right now. The design is not dated, just take a look at the BMW 5-Series. That's dated.
