MS with 'BMW interior' I hope it is not a repost. Just came across this and thought I'd share. Personally I think the minimalistic concept in Tesla fails big time and this is how the interior shoudve been bulit.
No pics/vids showed in your post, but are you referring to this: [Video] Tesla Model S with BMW interior for $30000 - project by Moscow Tesla Club
MS with 'BMW interior' The minimalist interior of the Model S was one of the many things that attracted me to the car when I ordered mine over 2 years ago. If Tesla offered two different style interiors, the minimalist or a much fancier style I would choose the former. The S interior shown in the video that @RAW84 linked to is, in my opinion, shockingly ugly. Style preferences are a personal thing. To each his own...
Holy hell. Can I also pay 30k to have someone pluck my eyeballs out so I don't have to see that? That looks terrible.
While I admit that the Model S's interior could be more luxurious in its fit and finish, what's shown here isn't what I'd want.
Yeah and when people are saying they miss their BMW interiors, this isn't what they're referring to. :-D Those seats don't fit in the S no matter how you slice it. The rear seats are especially offensive to the senses as they are bunched up and clearly ill fitting. It's not all bad though. I do like the center console and think if he went for all black over that blue/ tan combo it would look nicer. You could almost leave it as he has it and swap out the seats in there for next gens and it would be perfectly fine.
After experiencing the MS interior for this past year, everything else looks outdated and ugly. It's like having to give up your full touchscreen phone and get a blackberry again.
He's done a professional job, good on him. I prefer the S minimalist interior myself. Just checked the supercharger map, good that 5 superchargers are planned for Russia this year. Russia seems to have dedicated Tesla fans.
I actually agree with you that what the owner did needs improvement aesthetically. I think my point is more of the matter of functionality over looks or vice versa. For a car that one spends a lot of time in, I'd prefer the former. Yes, to each his own.
